Tony Khan announced the return of his own top star for Dynamite after 17 months
Apart from bringing back Yuji Nagata, Tony Khan also announced the return of one of his own top stars for this week's edition of their flagship program, Dynamite. Of course, we are talking about Thunder Rosa.
Rosa had been out of action for a long time due to an injury that had forced her to relinquish her AEW Women's World Title as well. After making her return to action at last week's Collision against Queen Aminata, Khan announced that Rosa would be booked to compete on Dynamite after nearly 17 months.
The former champion made an impactful comeback on the show, defeating Red Velvet with a shotgun dropkick, and followed it up with the Tijuana Bomb for the win.
With Thunder Rosa back with a bang, it would be interesting to see her rise back to the top of the mountain in AEW.
Do you think Tony would position Thunder Rosa as one of his top stars again? Sound off in the comments section below!
