Thunder Rosa AEW Status Update

Thunder Rosa has been making appearances for AEW since her on-screen debut on the August 22nd episode of AEW Dynamite. Rosa is currently the NWA World Women’s Champion although she has not worked for the NWA since they went on a break earlier this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Miro, formerly known as Rusev in WWE, made his official debut for AEW on Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite. Miro was revealed by Kip Sabian to be his “Best Man” during his wedding announcement segment on the show. Following the show, AEW announced that they had signed Miro to an official contract.

Dave Meltzer reported in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Miro’s deal with AEW is multi-year in length and is similar to other AEW contracts in regards to allowing him the ability to work outside dates as long as they don’t conflict with AEW’s schedule. Meltzer reported that Miro’s deal includes the ability for him to work for New Japan Pro Wrestling although he likely would be limited to only working for them outside of the US.
