Thunder Rosa wants to wrestle three of the WWE’s top superstars.
Since joining AEW in 2019, the former NWA Women’s Champion has had some of the best women’s matches in the US. Her bout with Britt Baker was one of AEW’s finest matches, and Thunder Rosa is looking to add more classics to her already impressive canon.
Thunder Rosa sat down with TimHannRivera and spoke about the wrestlers she would love to face in the future. After talking about Mercedes Mone, Thunder Rosa named three WWE Superstars as some of her dream matches.
The former AEW Women’s Champion listed Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair and Bayley as the ones she’d love to step into the ring with. This is currently impossible due to her position in AEW, but who knows what could happen in the future.
“Another person I would love to wrestle, if I could, is Charlotte Flair. She’s an excellent, excellent wrestler. Bianca Belair, I think, has shown tremendous growth in the last two years—her level of wrestling is outstanding.” Thunder Rosa said.
“And last but not least, one of the best workers right now is Bayley. I respect Bayley as a person—she’s a wonderful individual who is always so giving to others. I would love to wrestle her. There are a bunch of other people, too, especially in AEW, that I haven’t wrestled yet.” added Thunder Rosa.
Thunder Rosa Pinpoints What AEW Can Do To Improve Its Women’s Division
Thunder Rosa was a recent guest on AEW Unrestricted. When asked about the current landscape of the AEW Women’s Division, Rosa said she feels very strongly that the company needs strong babyfaces to take on strong heels.
“Everybody has their thing, their flavor, their character. Everybody’s different in the division,” Thunder Rosa said. “I still feel very strongly that we need to have really strong babyfaces to go against the really strong personalities that we have as heels. One of the reasons why Willow Nightingale is so popular is not only because she’s good, it’s because she’s a real babyface. She’s been able to take it to the next level.
“One of the reasons why for me it was so entertaining and so fun to work, not only with Toni Storm, because Toni was becoming a babyface, but when she worked with me, she became the heel, it’s because I was like okay, I have to be a real babyface, and it was a challenge for me because you know how I am. But it’s not about who I am as Melissa, it’s who Thunder Rosa needs to be in the ring for the story.”
