Thunder Rosa would love the chance to step back in the ring with Britt Baker, but is unsure if that will happen at an AEW event. During a recent appearance on Masks, Mats and Mayhem, Rosa was asked about whether she and Baker will ever resume their rivalry.
“Again, it’s not up to me. It’s not up to her. It’s up to the people above us. And that’s [above] my pay grade. I would love to. I think it would be a good idea to close the chapter on our story and do it right… That’s what I’m saying — it’s time to finish the story.”
While Rosa would love the chance to ‘finish the story,’ she was quick to acknowledge that the decision is out of her hands. “It’s not up to me. It’s not up to her.” Rosa added that booking decisions are “above my pay grade” before reflecting on what continuing their feud could mean.
“I think it’s a matter of respect, right? Like, she might feel disrespected. She wants to get the respect back from the locker room.”
Rosa and Baker feuded in 2020 and 2021, and it was Rosa who ended Baker’s reign as the AEW Women’s World Champion. Earlier this year, Rosa challenged Baker to a hair vs. hair match at AEW All In: Texas, though the challenge went unanswered.
Baker hasn’t wrestled for AEW since November 2024, when she defeated Penelope Ford on an episode of AEW Dynamite. That match was just the fifth match of 2024 for Baker. Should Britt Baker make a return to AEW TV, though, Thunder Rosa will be waiting for her.
While Rosa remains an active competitor on AEW programming, Baker’s future is less certain. Baker, still reportedly under contract, has not competed for the promotion in a full year. As AEW heads towards its final pay-per-view of the year, Worlds End in December, there is no indication that Baker will be returning to the ring, or that Rosa will get the chance to “finish the story” anytime soon.
