"This looks easy" - AEW star calls out new women's champion Thunder Rosa
TBS Champion Jade Cargill has called out the new AEW Women's Champion Thunder Rosa on social media.
During the St. Patrick's Day Slam Edition of Dynamite, La Mera Mera won the title from Britt Baker in a steel cage. The victory was extra special as it happened in Rosa's hometown of San Antonio, Texas.
After the show, Cargill reacted to the title change and said that she could easily beat the newly-crowned women's champion. She previously beat Rosa in the New Year's Smash edition of Dynamite to qualify to the finals of the TBS Women's Championship.

In response, Mercedes Martinez pointed out that she was the reason Cargill beat Rosa in the TBS Women's title tournament. She made her AEW return on the aforementioned episode and interrupted the bout.
Easy to forget but let me remind you.

The Doctor brought a pile of steel chairs into the ring and slammed her into the arranged chairs from the top rope. However, Rosa countered by smashing the former's head in the steel cage, making her fall to the chairs.
The Doctor tried to apply the lockjaw on La Mera Mera with her gloves, but the latter countered by biting her hand. Rosa defeated Baker by executing a Fire Thunder Driver on thumbtacks to win her first title in AEW.
