Thunder Rosa thinks it's time for someone selfless to lead the AEW Women's Division.
The AEW women's division is currently lead by the AEW Women's World Champion Mariah May, who captured the title from Toni Storm at AEW All In 2024 back in August. Now, it seems that former champion Thunder Rosa is up next for Mariah May.
While speaking to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp at the AEW All In 2025 Tickets On Sale event, Thunder Rosa addressed possibly wrestling close to home at the Texas pay-per-view.
"It's very special. I am like really putting this in the air that I get an opportunity next year in July to have, possibly, a championship match with whoever is the champion at the time. Let's remember one of the most iconic moments in AEW, in the women's division, was when they came to San Antonio and I was crowned the AEW Women's World Champion. I think that moment was very, very, very special. But now, Thunder Rosa is a little different. She's Thunder Rosa 3.0 and I'm a little extra. Extra, extra."
Thunder continued, bringing up the Winter Is Coming Women's World Title match between Mariah May and Mina Shirakawa, also noting that it is time someone not selfish lead the division.
"All the time, and as a matter of fact, there's something really special happening at Winter’s Coming, which is this Wednesday, and where Mariah May and Mina Shirakawa are gonna be wrestling, and I'm paying really close attention to both of them. I think it is time, Sean, that someone who is not selfish finally takes care of the division, because it really bothers me when people say that the division is dead and buried, because somebody's carrying a shovel. I don't think so, Mariah, and I'm talking to you. If you win the match, I already know it's gonna be you, but if Mina, I like Mina. But in terms of Mariah, I just feel like she's been extremely selfish. She's shown definitely that there is no loyalty to anyone, that she will stab anyone and anybody to be where she wants to be at and that shows. She did it twice already. Twice! I don't feel like that should be someone who represents the women's division at this moment. We need to unify it. We need someone who has been there, done that, and who cares for everybody else and that is me."
Mariah May would go on to defeat Mina Shirakawa to retain her championship at AEW Dynamite: Winter Is Coming. Toni Storm would return following the match as her original self, seeingly dropping the 'Timeless' character.
