Thunder Rosa’s Current Finishers

Fire Thunder Rosa ( Scoop slam piledriver) :

Thunder Rosa's finishing move is the Fire Thunder Rosa, also known as the scoop slam piledriver. To execute this technique, Rosa confronts her opponent, inserting her right arm between their legs and wrapping her left arm around their neck from the same side. Next, she hoists the opponent up and rotates them so they are inverted, resembling a scoop slam. At last, Rosa drops to her knees and throws her opponent to the ground with such force that it catches their neck and shoulder on the mat.

La Rosa ( Reverse Piledriver) :

Thunder Rosa also employs a modified version of the reverse pile driver known as La Rosa. In this manoeuvre, Rosa initially stands facing an opponent, seizing the opponent's waist and turning them upside-down, clasping them against their torso. Rosa then launches herself into the air, squatting down to a seated position and shoving the opponent's head between his and her thighs onto the mat.
