Regarding Thunder Rosa's absence from AEW Dynamite this week, we can confirm that she's sidelined with an illness and was off of the tapings on Wednesday.
Whatculture reported that there was frustration on her side of things, which is something we've also heard ourselves. We're told that completely separate of the situation where she was under the weather, there was no plan for her to appear live on the Los Angeles Dynamite. Instead, she was booked for a backstage segment.
Sources we've spoken to said that they feel like the primary women's title has taken a backseat to two other women's title belts on the show. She is also not scheduled for tonight's AEW Rampage in Ontario, California for the same illness.
We reached out to Thunder Rosa regarding the story about her frustrations and didn't get a response.
