Women’s wrestling star Thunder Rosa has officially signed with All Elite Wrestling. AEW sent out the customary “Thunder Rosa is #AllElite” tweet on Thursday afternoon.
Thunder Rosa has wrestled for AEW since August 2020, but was not formally signed to a longterm contract.
The former MMA fighter turned pro wrestler made her Impact Wrestling debut this past weekend at Slammiversary.
Thunder Rosa issued a statement following the news of her signing. She wrote, “Never in my life doubt that I would be where I want to be! Today one of the biggest accomplishments in my career has been announced!”
