Former AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa has officially announced she is stepping away from in-ring action for a much-needed break following AEW’s All In: Texas event in July 2025. While she did not explicitly confirm an injury in her announcement, multiple industry reports and insider sources indicate she is currently sidelined due to an undisclosed injury sustained during a grueling stretch of matches [2][4].

During her recent vlog update posted shortly after the All In weekend, Rosa emotionally reflected on the demanding schedule and her performance. She said, “The weekend was long. Today was All In. I didn’t get the results that I wanted… and I got some time off. To be continued… Now I deserve a well, well, well-earned resting time. Yeah, resting. Time off. Who knows?” Her candid tone revealed a wrestler grappling with physical and mental exhaustion while appreciating the support of her fans, known as the Thunder Army [2].

Intense Schedule Culminates at AEW All In: Texas

According to industry veteran Dave Meltzer’s report in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Thunder Rosa’s recent time off is rooted in an injury whose nature remains undisclosed. Meltzer confirmed that Rosa is out of action for the foreseeable future, with no specific return timetable provided [1][3]. The injury reportedly surfaced around the highly demanding All In weekend on July 10-12, which saw Rosa compete three consecutive nights:

• July 10: AEW Collision in an All Star 8-Woman Tag Team match
• July 11: ROH Supercard of Honor 2025 in a ROH Women’s World Championship match
• July 12: Women’s Casino Gauntlet match at AEW All In: Texas in Arlington

This packed schedule undoubtedly took a toll on Rosa’s body, fueling speculation that the injury forced her to re-evaluate her health priorities [1][3].

Industry Reactions and Future Uncertainty

Sources close to Thunder Rosa reveal that the decision to take time off was mutual between her and AEW management, emphasizing the importance of her long-term health and in-ring longevity. “Thunder Rosa has been pushing her limits like few others in the women’s division. This break is well deserved and necessary,” an AEW insider told Fightful Wrestling. “They want her back at full strength, not risking further injury by rushing things” [4].

Despite the uncertainty surrounding her temporary absence, fans and peers alike have expressed their unwavering support for Rosa’s recovery. WWE.com and various wrestling podcasts have highlighted the importance of mental and physical health in pro wrestling, often citing Thunder Rosa as a role model for resilience and authenticity in the business [5].

What This Means for the Women’s Wrestling Landscape

Thunder Rosa’s hiatus leaves a notable void in the AEW women’s division, which has thrived with her dynamic presence and hard-hitting style. With All In being one of AEW’s biggest events, her absence will shift booking plans and storylines in the coming months. However, industry experts are optimistic that allowing Rosa to heal now will lead to an even stronger return in the near future [4].

The wrestling community also views this as part of a broader conversation about wrestler welfare in today’s demanding schedules. As WWE and AEW continue to elevate women’s wrestling to unprecedented heights, ensuring stars like Thunder Rosa have proper recovery periods is increasingly crucial.

Closing Thoughts: A Well-Earned Rest for a Warrior

Thunder Rosa has carved an indelible mark in pro wrestling history, blending technical skill and emotional storytelling inside the ring. Her candid announcement and the subsequent reports of injury highlight the physical sacrifices elite wrestlers endure. While fans eagerly await her eventual return, the consensus is clear: this break is not just deserved but vital.

As she steps away to recover, the Thunder Army remains steadfast in support, echoing her own words from the vlog — this is merely a “to be continued” chapter in a career still very much alive and inspiring [2][4].
