Thunder Rosa reached the top of the mountain after defeating Britt Baker to become the AEW Women’s Champion back in March 2022. While she eventually had to relinquish it due to injury, Rosa has now revealed that some of her friends turned on her after she became the champion.
While speaking with Tim Rivera, Thunder Rosa talked about the ups and downs of winning the AEW Women’s Championship. She said she wasn’t fully ready for everything that came with it. On the positive side, she was proud to make history, have a bigger platform, and be seen as one of the best.
However, there were also negatives, like dealing with jealousy, envy, and seeing the worst in people. She felt hurt when friends turned on her and realized she couldn’t trust some people anymore. Despite the difficulties, she stated it’s important to stay strong.
“When I won the title, I don’t think mentally I was ready for it because so much came with it—good and bad at the same time. The good was, like, you create history, you get a bigger platform, and you’re at another level now. People see you with different eyes, they see you as, like, the s***, right?
But then on the downside, you see the worst in people—insecurities, envy, jealousy. It’s heartbreaking when friends turn on you, or when people you thought you could trust prove you can’t. You have to stay strong through it all.”
Even though she faced betrayal from friends and more hardships, Rosa’s experience definitely inspired others to keep going and become stronger. As Rosa continues her wrestling career, she is committed to being a role model for other wrestlers, no matter what.
