Even though they don’t like each other in real life, Britt Baker and Thunder Rosa are still very proud of their Lights Out match from an episode of “AEW Dynamite” in March 2021. They both feel that it put their names on the map.

Rosa recently talked about the match on “Busted Open Radio,” where she said that it was full of firsts for her.

“It was my first time bleeding ever on a match,” Rosa said. “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.”

Rosa said that the success of the match was due not only to her and Baker’s work but also to how the two had been fighting for several months and even had a singles match in February.

“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,” Rosa said. “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.” H/T-WrestlingInc.
