At AEW Revolution 2022, Thunder Rosa failed to dethrone Britt Baker. After interference from Jamie Hayter and Rebel, Baker defeated her arch-rival to retain the AEW Women's World Championship.

However, Rosa earned another opportunity after beating Leyla Hirsch on Dynamite to become the #1 contender. Hirsch herself was victorious over Statlander at Revolution 2022.
Thunder Rosa's win at St. Patrick's Day Slam means Britt Baker's reign has ended after 290 days. The now-former champion defeated Hikaru Shida at Double or Nothing 2021 to win the title. Baker is the second longest-reigning women's champion in AEW history.
