More on AEW signing Thunder Rosa -- buyouts, release requests, more
Added 2021-07-22 21:19:44 +0000 UTCThunder Rosa has officially signed with AEW this week, in a surprise move. It's not shocking in that All Elite Wrestling signed her, but that she could sign, considering her NWA contract ran through the year. However, a buyout of the deal was orchestrated, though we aren't sure of the specifics. We were informed by NWA sources that Thunder Rosa had requested her release from the NWA as far back as 2020, but that was rejected.
We've also been told AEW, and Tony Khan in particular are very careful about not contract tampering, and wanted to play by the book on the situation. We've noted in the past that Tony Khan and Billy Corgan often work together directly.

I don't like her character as much as Brit but she's night and day a better wrestler. Brit's matches lose me most of the time.

2021-07-22 22:46:35 +0000 UTCI'm happy for Thunder Rosa & AEW. My only question now is whether she was tapped to participate in the NWA Empowerrr women's tourney.
