Former AEW Women's Champion undergoing training to improve promo skills upon return
The wrestling industry not only pertains to talent having diversified wrestling skills, but a flair for promos as well. Recently, former AEW Women's Champion Thunder Rosa cited how she was taking acting classes to enhance her promo skills.
The 36-year-old debuted in All Elite Wrestling in August 2020 wherein she challenged Hikaru Shida for the title. Britt Baker and Rosa garnered much acclaim from the wrestling fraternity for their hellacious Unsanctioned Lights Out match. A few months later she defeated Baker in a steel cage match to win her first reign as Women's Champion.
In the months that followed, Rosa was set to defend her title against Jamie Hayter, but the match had to be postponed owing to an injury she suffered. Later she was accused of faking an injury to avoid the match. Shortly after, she was stripped of the title and an interim champion was crowned in the meantime.
Recently, during an interaction on Steven's Wrestling Journey the AEW star cited that she was looking forward to her return and was working on bettering her skills.
"I wanna get better at promos, so I can be on TV more," Rosa said. "I'm taking some acting classes, singing classes, and I wanna show the world that I'm multitalented. I wanna do radio, I wanna do TV, I wanna do music. I wanna use all of that into my character."
