Injured former Women's Champion hopes to return "if it's possible" 308 days after her last match
Former Women's Champion of All Elite Wrestling Thunder Rosa has provided an update on her injury and expressed her hopes of returning to the ring.
Rosa has been sidelined since August 2022 due to an injury that prevented her from defending the AEW Women's World Championship. In her absence, Toni Storm was crowned interim champion at All Out 2022, and the interim title eventually became the lineal championship.
In a recent interview with NBC Chicago, Rosa expressed her satisfaction with the recovery process, highlighting that being pain-free is the most important aspect for her.
"It’s going pretty well. Things are going as they’re supposed to go. I am super happy that I’ve been pain-free. That was the most important part. I think it took forever. I think everybody’s expecting me to give them news, but I am working out every day, trying to get back into the ring as soon as possible, and if it’s possible. That’s what I’m trying to do," Rosa said. [H/T - Fightful]

WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray wants former women's champions to squash their beef
Wrestling veteran Bully Ray has urged Thunder Rosa and Britt Baker to put aside their differences and collaborate on-screen. While backstage conflicts are not uncommon in the Jacksonville-based promotion, the rivalry between the former women's champions has been widely discussed.
During an episode of the Busted Open podcast, Bully Ray appealed to Rosa and Baker, imploring them to come together and deliver their highly anticipated matches that fans crave.
"'Dear Britt Baker and Thunder Rosa, get on the same page and give us the matches that we as fans are clamoring for, want, and deserve. X, O, X, O, Uncle Bully... Thunder Rosa vs. Dr. Britt Baker, with everything going on, is the biggest women's match that can happen in AEW right now. End of story, and I'm pretty good when it comes to this booking stuff. There's real-life animosity, there's storytelling animosity, and they work well together. They've proved it." Bully said.
