Thunder Rosa Comments
Thunder Rosa, one of AEW’s most prominent Latina wrestlers, shared her excitement in an exclusive interview with Fox Sports, saying, “This is something fans have been asking about for years. There’s no better time than now for AEW’s first Grand Slam in Mexico.”
She emphasized the cultural and professional significance of the event, calling it a major opportunity for AEW’s Mexican talent to perform on home soil. “There’s so much Mexican representation in AEW, it was our time—and what better place than Arena México.”
While the match card will be revealed in the coming weeks, Thunder Rosa mentioned several names she’d like to see participate, including Kenny Omega, Swerve Strickland, Willow Nightingale, and Taya Valkyrie. She also suggested that the success of this event could open the door for future AEW shows in other Mexican cities like Monterrey.
