Thunder Rosa Wins AEW Return as Champion Thekla Targets Her With Injury Threat

The champion’s provocation turns Rosa’s comeback into an immediate flashpoint after an eight month recovery.

Overview

  • Thunder Rosa defeated Julia Hart on the Feb. 21 edition of AEW Collision in her first match since June 12, 2025.
  • After the match, AEW Women’s World Champion Thekla mocked Rosa on-air and in a digital exclusive, saying she “can’t wait to injure you again.”
  • Rosa had returned to television earlier in the week on Dynamite, where she called out Thekla for the women’s title.
  • In recent interviews, Rosa said therapy and physical therapy were crucial to her recovery and admitted she at times feared she might never wrestle again.
  • Following her return, Rosa condemned a hateful, identity-based message, affirmed pride in being Mexican and from Tijuana, and urged fans to keep wrestling tough without being cruel.
