"She is the total opposite of me" - Top AEW female wrestler unravels her thoughts on Britt Baker (Exclusive)
The rivalry between Thunder Rosa and Dr. Britt Baker has been heated in recent months. Their brutal matches, compelling storytelling, and thunderous crowd ovations have escalated their rivalry into the top echelon of All Elite Wrestling.
Thunder Rosa dethroned Britt Baker in an exquisite steel cage match to clinch the AEW Women's World Championship on March 16. Both wrestlers pushed each other to their limits. Since then, La Mera Mera has taken the title and run with it as Baker works to claw her way back to the top.
Thunder Rosa was recently interviewed by Riju Dasgupta of Sportskeeda Wrestling where she spoke about her rivalry with Dr. Baker. When asked what makes Britt such a perfect opponent for her, she highlighted their opposing dynamics:
"She is the total opposite of me. That's what it is. I am a fighting babyface and I am always fighting for what I believe in. There are so many obstacles against me and she has been here since day one. I came as an outsider. She bullied me for months until we had the Lights Out match and I got the upper hand." (6.56-7.35)
The champion further described the obstacles she overcame to earn the AEW Women's title:
"Little by little, she continued to make more obstacles on my way to get where I wanted to...getting the championship she had. She used everything and anybody to make sure that didn't happen but it fortunately happened on March 16th." (7.38-8.00)
