Folks, let me tell you a story about a showdown that had the wrestling world buzzing like a bee on a hot summer day. It all went down on “AEW Dynamite,” where Thunder Rosa, a dynamo of the ring, squared off against Mariah May, the protégée of none other than the AEW Women’s Champion, “Timeless” Toni Storm.
Now, Mariah, she’s no slouch, having told Toni Storm on “AEW Collision” that she’d handle Rosa. But folks, sometimes the best-laid plans go awry, just like when you’re trying to eat ice cream on a hot day and it starts to melt before you can take a bite.
During the match, which was more back-and-forth than a pendulum in a grandfather clock, Rosa and May went toe-to-toe, with Storm watching like a hawk from the commentary booth. Just when May thought she had Rosa on the ropes, Rosa pulled a fast one with a Backstabber followed by a Tijuana Bomb, securing the win faster than you can say “jackrabbit.”
But hold your horses; the action didn’t stop there. After her victory, Rosa, fired up and ready for more, laid down the challenge to Storm, eager to go from the frying pan into the fire. The refs had to step in before things got too heated, but the message was loud and clear: Rosa’s gunning for that championship at AEW Dynasty on April 21.
Now, Thunder Rosa’s been on a tear, stacking up wins like pancakes at a breakfast buffet. From beating Lady Frost on “Collision” to taking down Red Velvet on “Dynamite,” she’s been as unstoppable as a train on the tracks.
Toni Storm, on the other hand, is no easy target. She’s been champion three times over, holding onto that belt for over 137 days like it’s a treasured family heirloom. Her win over Hikaru Shida at Full Gear wasn’t just a match; it was a statement.
So, as we gear up for AEW Dynasty in St. Louis, the air’s electric with anticipation. Will Rosa’s momentum carry her to victory, or will Storm’s reign continue to weather the storm? One thing’s for sure: in the world of AEW, it’s always an adventure, and folks, we’re just along for the ride.
