Thunder Rosa Admits AEW Women Veterans Underperform Sometimes

AEW took the world by storm back in 2019 as it was the first pro wrestling company in a very long time that made waves in the pro wrestling world as a form of competition for WWE. It was certainly a risky endeavor as well because there was always the chance it was going to end up being a huge failure. It seems a former WWE writer has an interesting suggestion for AEW as well.

AEW has been receiving a lot of praise for its variety of pro wrestling. However, nothing is perfect as the women’s division has left a lot to be desired and has been criticized on a constant basis.

While the women’s division has certainly improved over the past year, there is still a lot of room for improvement. While speaking to Throwing Down w/ Renee & Miesha, Thunder Rosa addressed criticism for the women’s division. She also admitted that veteran female wrestlers underperform sometimes.

”Yes and no. I will say that people [are] still talking crap about it. A lot of the women now have been really trying to establish themselves as competitors. As somebody that can go with anybody.” said Thunder Rosa, “Even then I feel like there’s still a lot of criticism towards it. Everybody’s working really hard to make the division better. We’re definitely getting a lot more veterans into our division.

So it’s making things a lot easier for a lot of the younger talent to learn from them. And that’s the most important part. The talent is willing and wants to learn from veterans. Because we can say ‘Yeah, we’re good’ and etc, etc. But then when it comes down to throwing those punches and performing, we can underperform too. So we have to be mindful and open on that.”

We will have to see how the company will be able to improve the women’s division and make it comparable to the men’s division. For many fans, the introduction of the TBS Title is a step in the right direction but a lot of work still needs to be done.
