AEW star Thunder Rosa is ready to get back in the ring after a lengthy absence.
The former Women’s Champion has been out of action since August 2022 after requiring back surgery. In a positive update, Rosa has stated that she is good to go but just needs the phone to ring.
Speaking with News 4 in San Antonio, Texas, Rosa gave an update on her road to recovery and thanked the fans for their continued well wishes:
I am ready. Whenever (I get) that call and, you know, my boss says ‘It’s time for you to return.’
I am super excited and I can not wait to show to the world and all you fans that have been supporting all this time that I am ready and I have a lot more to give.
Although AEW is yet to officially announce that Rosa will be making her return to action, the former Women’s Champion has recorded a promotional video for the upcoming Collision taping in San Antonio on Saturday, December 23rd.
