Thunder Rosa is one of the best in-ring female pro wrestlers to have ever stepped inside the squared circle. She used to be well respected and well-loved in the community as well. She also shared some positive news regarding her return.

Rosa was pulled from AEW All Out due to a back injury. In fact, it was said that she couldn’t even walk. In the end, Toni Storm won at AEW All Out and became the Interim AEW Women’s Champion.

While speaking during a recent interview with the Wrestling Perspective Podcast, Thunder Rosa revealed that she recently resumed jogging for the first time in 3 months.

I’m doing really well. This week, we made some good progress. I started running for the first time in almost 3 months. So, the physical activity is getting a little bit bigger and I’m allowed to do a lot more stuff than before. I’m not allowed to lift yet, I’m not allowed to do a lot of stuff. I’m not allowed to wrestle. But we’re making progress and the fact that I can actually jog for seven minutes on and off, for me, it’s huge because I have not been able to do that.

I have spoken to other patients that have had similar injuries that I have at the place that I go to. For a lot of us, you know, everybody’s different, it’s hit and miss when you’re talking about lower back injuries, always. You have to be very careful because you can injure it again. You utilize your back for everything.

So I’m really hopeful that things will continue to progress the way they are,” she said. “We’re taking our time, and we’re taking all the measures that I need to take to stay safe. Like I said, I’m really thankful that I’m allowed to go and do signings still, but I have to, again, be very careful, because my back gets irritated really easily. I don’t want to get a huge setback that is gonna take me from doing the basic stuff, cleaning my house, you know, taking care of like walking my dog, and all that stuff. Because you can really reinjure yourself. But I still don’t have like a set time yet, but again, I’m working really hard to get better, physically and mentally.

“Because mentally, injuries can take a toll,” she added. “I’m really happy that I can do that. I shared that with my family yesterday, and they’re all excited. The fact that I can do more physical activity to me is huge. Because when that is taken away from you, and you are forced to be sitting at home or to be chilling, I’m just cooking like a maniac. It’s hard on any athlete, but I’m really excited that I know when I come back, I’m gonna come back a lot stronger in many aspects than then when I left before.”

Thunder Rosa also hopes to return in January. We will have to wait and see if she will be able to beat Toni Storm once she does return.
