AEW: Thunder Rosa retains women’s title

CHICAGO — AEW World Women’s Champion Thunder Rosa is remaining as champion after a successful defense Sunday night in Chicago.

The match started in a rather technical manner early. That was until challenger Toni Storm nailed Rosa with an aggressive slap.

Rosa caught Storm with a leaping cutter and some diving dropkicks against the ropes. Rosa got a near fall with a Northern Lights suplex. Storm countered a Fire Thunder Driver with a roll-up, but Rosa rolled through and caught Storm with a double stomp.

Storm tried a spinning DDT on the floor, but Rosa blocked it and hit a Northern Lights suplex. She caught Rosa with a German suplex on the apron, then hit the spinning DDT on the floor. Storm slammed Rosa with the hip attack and got a near fall with a DDT inside the ring.

Rosa hit a running knee strike and a Death Valley Driver. Rosa planted Storm with the Fire Thunder Driver but it only got a two count. Rosa went for a kick, but Storm caught her with a German suplex instead. But Storm’s left shoulder was hurting and Storm couldn’t hit the stuff piledriver.

Rosa hit Dustin Rhodes’ finisher, the Final Reckoning, and got the pinfall. Rosa remains the AEW World Women’s Champion.

Winner: Thunder Rosa via pinfall (10:40)
