Thunder Rosa successfully defended her AEW Women’s World Championship at AEW Battle of the Belts II, defeating Nyla Rose via pinfall.
In what was the main event of the show, both competitors scored multiple two-counts. But, it was Rosa who would pick up the 1-2-3 after she hooked Rose’s legs following a hurricanrana.
