Dustin Rhodes has had a major impact on Thunder Rosa's AEW career

Thunder Rosa has credited Dustin Rhodes for her success in the company. For example, she discussed his influence during an appearance on Throwing Down With Renee and Miesha last month.

The Women's World Champion spoke about how the former WWE Intercontinental Champion has helped her. She stated that Rhodes helps her stay humble, and he tells her to calm down and believe in her abilities. She referred to The Natural as her pep talker.

"He’s [Dustin Rhodes] always like, ‘Thunder, you got to calm down. You know you got this.’ He’s like my pep talker. He hugs me all the time. He says, ‘You know you got this. From the moment you came to this company, I knew it.' I remember that moment. He saw me doing something and he’s like, ‘You’re something else.’ He always reminds me how bad a** I am, and I have to believe in myself every single time.” [H/T WrestlingNews.Co]
