"It would be a banger" - Thunder Rosa on which released WWE talent she wants to face
Thunder Rosa has faced plenty of talented wrestlers, and she recently named one dream match with a former WWE star that's still on her list.
Rosa is one of the most renowned women's competitors in the wrestling world, and she has held titles in various promotions. She has competed in several high-profile bouts in AEW, including her memorable Lights Out Match against Britt Baker.
Ahead of her match against Jamie Hayter on this week's episode of AEW Dynamite, Thunder Rosa was a guest on the newest episode of Busted Open Radio. When discussing the recent WWE releases, Rosa named Ember Moon as someone she wants to face at some point. She noted that the former NXT Women's Champion didn't get the spotlight she deserved.
"Ember Moon, I have not had the opportunity to work with her," Thunder Rosa said. "Sheβs one of the Dallas veterans, I mean Texas veterans. She worked for so long in NXT and I donβt think they gave her the platform she deserved. Because sheβs so good and so underrated. So, hopefully, I get the opportunity to work with her. It would be a banger."
Will we see Thunder Rosa vs. Ember Moon in 2022?
The amount of talented women on the open market is more extensive than it's ever been. With All Elite Wrestling looking to expand its women's division in 2022, a signing like Ember Moon should be a no-brainer.
If AEW doesn't sign the fan-favorite star, the match could potentially happen at Thunder Rosa's own promotion, Mission Pro Wrestling. The company has seen a remarkable rise in popularity over the past year, and its live events continue to draw large crowds. This bout against Moon could be an exciting main event for Rosa's company, and it could generate even more buzz for MPW.
