Thunder Rosa is officially back in AEW and shes not pretending the road here was easy. After making her long-awaited return on AEW Dynamite this past Wednesday, Rosa is now set to step back into the ring against Julia Hart on AEW Collision. But before the match, the former AEW Womens Champion opened up about the nerves, fear, and personal pressure shes carrying into her comeback. Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Rosa admitted that the emotions are overwhelming as she prepares for her first match back after eight months away. June 12, 2025 marked the last time Rosa competed inside an AEW ring. One night after unsuccessfully challenging Athena for the ROH Womens Championship at Supercard of Honor, she appeared in the Casino Gauntlet match at AEW: All In. Shortly after, she stepped away and the recovery process began. According to Rosa, physical therapy was not optional. It was survival. The time away didnt just test her body it tested her mindset. Rosa made it clear that the pressure she feels now isnt about critics or doubters. Its internal. That statement says everything. This isnt about proving the locker room wrong. Its about proving herself right. Rosa has been through extended absences before, but this comeback feels different. Eight months of rehab, fear, and incremental progress have led to this moment a Collision showdown with Julia Hart that could set the tone for her next AEW chapter. If her words are any indication, this isnt just another return. Its a reset. What do you think about Thunder Rosas mindset heading into AEW Collision?
