Thunder Rosa also shared her take on the recent Women’s Blood and Guts match, noting that it took a lot of sacrifices and struggles for women in AEW to get to this point, but she believes the match proved they can perform. “Blood and Guts was a match in where you saw how tough a lot of the women were there, a lot of the spots were very incredible and crazy,” she opined. “We’re like normalizing things that only men were allowed to do in the past and now we have been able and have been able to do the stuff.”

Looking back at her career, Thunder Rosa expressed how proud she is to be one of the first women in AEW to have taken part in the more hardcore matches, and how proud she is of everyone getting the spotlight now. “I feel like it also brings some sort of comradery in the locker room that otherwise wasn’t there before,” she added, noting that there’s a focus on making sure the division is successful and that these kinds of matches will be normal. “What’s not nice for me is not being able to be a part of it,” she admitted. “That FOMO that you get is like, ‘Damn it!'”
