Thunder Rosa has revisited one of the more unexpected viral moments of her career: a 2018 training session with influencer and former adult film star Mia Khalifa that continues to circulate online years after it was filmed.
Speaking with The Normies, as relayed by Wrestling Headlines and Fightful, Rosa explained that the crossover came together while she was running a show in Austin, Texas, where Khalifa was in attendance. According to Rosa, Khalifa started talking trash about professional wrestling, which led to the two of them chopping and training together on camera.
Rosa told the outlet the clip “still blows up regularly,” noting that fans and media continue to bring it up years after it first spread online. Reflecting on the experience itself, Rosa said she had a good time working with Khalifa, adding, “She’s good in my book.”
The video has become a recurring point of internet nostalgia within wrestling circles, periodically resurfacing on social media long after its original release in 2018. Rosa’s comments mark one of her more detailed public reflections on how the moment came together and how she feels about it looking back.
No further wrestling business, angle, or follow-up collaboration between Rosa and Khalifa was addressed in the interview excerpts provided.
