So.....what's Thunder Rosa's injury?

Where are the days of hickeys being hidden under a turtleneck?

In an interview with "Doc" Chris Mueller for Bleacher Report, Rosa discussed her road to recovery. She noted that the experience has given her a new perspective, as being able to return to the ring would be a privilege.

"It's been a long road, I will say. From the beginning, there was a lot of speculation about my injury. But I was always very clear and very honest about what was happening to me. Everything has been documented on my YouTube. It was physical and mental, all this rehab that I've been receiving. Some days were really positive, some other days were not as positive, but that's part of the recovery part of having an injury such as the one that I still have. Lately, there's been more of a bright light on it, because as my MRI read, I don't have the tears in my back anymore. Now I'm able to train without pain, with compound training, as well as I've been jumping in the ring in the last three weeks. So, I'm excited about the advancements that we have, and now I'm excited about the possibility of returning to the ring. Again, it's just been giving me a perspective about the opportunity to wrestle, because it's a privilege if I get to come back," Rosa said.

Rosa went on to make it clear that she's not rushing her return to the ring. She noted that she hasn't wrestled in an AEW ring for nearly a year, and she expressed her hope that she will get the opportunity to have more matches.The former champion made ot clear that she is training, and she is working on making sure she's healthy when she returns.

"It's been almost a year since I stepped in the ring last in AEW. So it will be amazing if I get that opportunity and to have another match, or more matches, in the future. Like I said, I'm very hopeful. I stepped in the ring last Tuesday. I actually took my son with me to help do cardio. I'm training, I have a doctor who's a professional trainer for athletes in San Antonio, and I have another physiotherapist I work with when I was doing MMA and professional wrestling. So, they're helping me to get to the best physically as possible. I'm not talking about 'Oh, I'm gonna come back with a six-pack' and everything. I have to come back healthy. In the ring, what we do, it's extremely dangerous. I always pray for my opponent and pray for me to come back the same way that we come in, and sometimes we don't. So I'm praying that this time will be positive," Rosa said.

Having done that myself, that stuff HURTS.

Honestly, the one time I've had it done poking the raised bruises felt really good.

Bet it makes bumping on a bad back a lot more fun than it normally would be.

Thunder Rosa and Britt Baker were oil and water even before Rosa was injured and had to vacate her AEW Women's World Championship. On the latest "Busted Open Radio," Mickie James says that the animosity both helped their feud and was ultimately its untimely undoing

"Thunder Rosa probably gave Britt one of the best matches of her career, in my opinion," James said. "Thunder is very good. It's unfortunate that she got hurt. I think the reason why the whole thing was able to fester was because Thunder already had a bit of a [reputation]."

James believes that said reputation did not help when rumors around her began to swirl, and says there are similarities between the ways Thunder Rosa and CM Punk both courted controversy during their title runs, which both ended in injury. However, Punk was able to avoid being tarred with the same brush as Rosa. While James respects that Punk and Rosa are outspoken advocates for their passions, she also agreed with co-host Tommy Dreamer that sometimes wrestlers have to work with people they don't like.

"At the end of the day, this is a business," James said. "Whether you get along with someone or not, you should still be able to go out there and do business, and do good business."

James also believes that the AEW women's locker room didn't see Thunder Rosa as "one of them," due to Rosa's tenure in the NWA, opting to take Britt's side in the issue. The former Knockouts Champion believes both women are too set in their opinions to ever budge.

"It's unfortunate that they didn't get to do better business together," James chided, noting that the women's locker room helped feed the rumor mill, which has been running on overdrive recently following comments from veteran independent wrestler LuFisto.

I'm a fan of Britt's but I would argue their matches are Britt's best but not Thunder's best.

When Thunder vs Shida exists, Baker is not gonna take that mantle tbh

I've said it before, but I think Rosa's reputation with her peers on the indies likely caused a lot of issues fairly or unfairly.

Rosa vs. Deeb as well arguably.

I must have been asleep when Mickie James was in the AEW locker room for long enough to know how they felt about Thunder Rosa.

I miss her. We need her back so she, Toni Storm and Hikaru Shida can just have bangers every week

Has anyone who speaks Spanish and listens to the Spanish broadcast heard what she's said about Britt Baker? Or anyone? I wonder what her kayfabe commentary has been about the women.

I don't know how easy it would be to get Thunder Rosa booed, but since the Outcasts are clearly about to eject Toni Storm, having Rosa come in would give the group some teeth and some credibility.  Almost like a lady's version of the BCC

It's kinda wild they showed her going into TK's office on that Dynamite before Collison was announced when she was still apparently not even close to wrestling again.

For me it’s the fact that she hasn’t been on camera at all in any capacity since then.

Although now they can maybe give her the gimmick that they were doing with Punk now that I think about it.
