On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Thunder Rosa reflected on her unsanctioned “Lights Out Anything Goes Match” with Britt Baker on AEW Dynamite.
The match, which saw Rosa emerge victorious over Baker, was the most important women’s match in years and changed the game in AEW.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the match being a first for her in many ways: “It was my first time bleeding ever on a match. It was my first time in a lot of things. I’ve never, ever done a match like that. I remember we were planning the stuff, and in my head, I’m like, ‘Man, I can’t mess up. I just can’t. This is very important for the future of women’s wrestling.’ And I honestly didn’t know how much was going to impact my career. But, to me, that was very, very important.”
On how her storyline with Britt Baker developed: “I think what made it even more impactful was, one, how they developed the story between Britt and I because it wasn’t like a week [long] buildup. I think it was October 2020, after my match with Serena Deeb for the NWA Championship that I lost. She got involved, and I lost the match. So it was a development. It grew into March, and I wasn’t signed either. So the fact that I wasn’t signed, that I won the match … I mean it didn’t count, but I still won the match, everything else, it just built up to that.”
