The wrestling industry not only pertains to talent having diversified wrestling skills, but a flair for promos as well. Recently, former AEW Women's Champion Thunder Rosa cited how she was taking acting classes to enhance her promo skills.
The 36-year-old debuted in All Elite Wrestling in August 2020 wherein she challenged Hikaru Shida for the title. Britt Baker and Rosa garnered much acclaim from the wrestling fraternity for their hellacious Unsanctioned Lights Out match. A few months later she defeated Baker in a steel cage match to win her first reign as Women's Champion.
In the months that followed, Rosa was set to defend her title against Jamie Hayter, but the match had to be postponed owing to an injury she suffered. Later she was accused of faking an injury to avoid the match. Shortly after, she was stripped of the title and an interim champion was crowned in the meantime.
Recently, during an interaction on Steven's Wrestling Journey the AEW star cited that she was looking forward to her return and was working on bettering her skills.

"I wanna get better at promos, so I can be on TV more," Rosa said. "I'm taking some acting classes, singing classes, and I wanna show the world that I'm multitalented. I wanna do radio, I wanna do TV, I wanna do music. I wanna use all of that into my character."
Thunder Rosa claims she will return to AEW but most probably not in a wrestling capacity
During her absence, there were reports of an alleged backstage altercation between Thunder Rosa and Jamie Hayter. Thus, resulting in tensions and dislike brewing among the women's division. And the former Women's Champion has been off television ever since,
On a recent edition of the Busted Open Radio podcast, Thunder Rosa talked about her return to the promotion but not in a wrestling capacity:
"Since we're talking about AEW, I'm probably going to be coming back on the road pretty soon. Not to wrestle, but we're going to be out at AEW and showing face and being around all this stuff. It's going to be nice to be around everyone and see how things unfold."
Jamie Hayter defeated interim champion Toni Storm at Full Gear to win her first reign as the Women's Champion.
