Former AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa appeared on an episode of Busted Open Radio, where she talked about a number of topics including how her back injury nearly ended her career.
Rosa said, “I had to learn so many other things to not go fucking insane. Because wrestling was taken away from me because of an injury that almost ended my career. The fact that I wwe able to run three miles without pain this last Thursday or Wednesday, the fact that I’m able to lift weights, to sleep, to sit down, to sit up, to be on an airplane without pain, it’s beautiful. The fact of the matter that I get another opportunity to get my time and to get what belongs to me, it’s a blessing. I’m not gonna let anyone, and I’m putting everybody on notice, to tell me otherwise. I’ve been through fucking hell, and I don’t care if I have to go through fucking hell to get what I need to get because I am going to get it. I’m fucking Thunder Rosa. La Mera Mera. They call me La Mera Mera for a fucking reason, and that is not because I’m a wimp and I like to complain. No, it’s because I work my ass off to get where I want, to get what I deserve, to get what I was born for, and that’s to be excellent.”
