Update regarding Thunder Rosa’s status after relinquishing the AEW women’s title

As previously noted, Jamie Hayter is officially the AEW women’s champion as Thunder Rosa relinquished her title.

In a video published to her YouTube channel, Rosa addressed her recovery from injury…

“The recovery is going really well. I just, this week, I was just able to do squats with a two-pound dumbbell. I haven’t done any lifting for the last four or five months, which is huge. Two weeks ago, I was able to do a 5K, which I walked half the way, cause I’m not allowed to run. I can jog, that’s pretty much it. Those are big milestones for me. I have not been able to be in the ring yet, so we’re working on that.” (quote courtesy of 411Mania.com)

Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following regarding Rosa’s estimated return date…

“The last word we’d heard was she hoped to be back in February. There were a lot of people who thought she would be Saraya’s mystery partner against Britt Baker & Jamie Hayter on 1/11 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, but the last word on her return was February.”
