Thunder Rosa believes AEW’s characters stand apart from the rest of the wrestling industry because of how edgy they are allowed to be. Speaking to The Rockin’ Ride Home, the AEW star was asked what separates the company from other promotions and pointed directly to the tone of its storytelling.
“I just think the characters are completely edgy in comparison to other places,” Rosa said, according to the interview cited by Fightful, NoDQ and Wrestling News.
AEW has carried a TV-14 rating since its launch in 2019, a distinction that has given the promotion more latitude for adult-oriented storylines than some of its competitors. Rosa’s comments frame that creative freedom as a defining trait of the product, alongside what she described as the in-ring quality on offer.
Rosa did not elaborate on specific characters or storylines in the excerpts made available from the interview, and none of the reporting outlets provided additional detail beyond her general assessment of AEW’s tone compared to the rest of the wrestling landscape.
