Major Former World Champion on the Way Out of AEW After Major Mistakes?
Fan discussion intensifies around Thunder Rosa’s AEW future following her confrontation with Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford that drew criticism from wrestling veterans.
Thunder Rosa’s recent televised appearance on AEW Dynamite has sparked considerable discussion about her future with the company. The awkward segment involving Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford has led to speculation that the former AEW Women’s World Champion might consider leaving the promotion.
The incident occurred after Bayne defeated Kris Statlander with help from Ford. Thunder Rosa rushed to the ring with a steel chair to make the save, but both Bayne and Ford appeared to no-sell her appearance, creating what viewers have described as one of the most uncomfortable moments in recent AEW programming.
The segment drew immediate criticism from wrestling personalities, including WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray, who directed his concerns at AEW officials rather than the performers involved. As backlash continues to build, fan speculation has grown regarding Thunder Rosa’s potential dissatisfaction with her creative direction.
Rosa, who joined AEW in 2020, could theoretically attract interest from WWE if she were to become available. The 38-year-old had opportunities for WWE tryouts in the past, both as a referee and performer, before pursuing mixed martial arts and subsequently signing with AEW.
