Thunder Rosa Announces She’s Cleared to Wrestle on AEW Dynamite Return

Thunder Rosa is officially cleared — and she made sure everyone knows it.

On the February 18, 2026 episode of AEW Dynamite, Rosa appeared during the second hour of the show in a backstage segment with Kris Statlander. The moment marked her first AEW appearance in months, and more importantly, it came with a major update about her status.

During the segment, Rosa revealed that she has been medically cleared to compete as of today. She also stated that she feels better than ever and believes she is currently at her peak physically.

The announcement signals the end of her in-ring absence, which dates back to July 2025. It was also noted on the broadcast that Rosa has not competed in AEW since All In Texas last year, making this clearance a significant milestone in her comeback.

With AEW’s women’s division continuing to evolve, her clearance immediately reshapes the landscape. Rosa previously held major championship gold in AEW, and now that she’s medically approved to compete again, the focus turns to who she targets first.
