The former AEW Women's World Champion, Thunder Rosa, wanted to have Shayna Baszler in Tony Khan's promotion. Shayna was one of the many stars recently released by the Stamford-based promotion. She had an eight-year run with the company and became a multi-time NXT Women's and tag team champion during her tenure as well.

Meanwhile, Thunder Rosa was asked on the Busted Open Radio about who among the recently released stars she would like to see in AEW. Rosa instantly named Shayna as the one she wanted to see go All Elite, citing her promo work and experience on TV.
