AEW is gearing up for a massive edition of its annual All In event. The promotion has already advertised several big-time matches for its show at Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX, on July 12. New info has now been shared on Thunder Rosa's All In challenge to Britt Baker.
Thunder Rosa and Britt Baker have a sordid history. The two were rivals—both on-screen and behind the scenes—throughout AEW's first couple of years, and their bloody Unsanctioned Lights Out match in March 2021 is still fondly remembered by fans.
The two reportedly had real-life issues, and Thunder Rosa is looking to capitalize on them. The former AEW Women's World Champion recently called Baker out for a Hair vs. Hair match at All In: Texas. She made the challenge on her personal vlog, and Sean Ross Sapp has now revealed that All Elite Wrestling's creative team had no input in the challenge.

Speaking on Fightful Select, Sapp claimed that, while Rosa didn't exactly go rogue, she definitely laid the challenge of her own volition:
"I wouldn’t say going rogue, but certainly cutting her own angle. But she understands that she and Britt Baker have been money together and they have a very special thing and a very real thing." [H/T: Ringside News]
AEW's Thunder Rosa claims she and Britt Baker are bonded by blood
Thunder Rosa and Britt Baker have shared the ring several times, and the intensity of their matches seemingly increased as their backstage issues worsened. The two have made each other bleed, and Rosa believes their shared blood has bonded them together.
On a recent edition of her vlog, La Mera Mera challenged her "nemesis" to a Hair vs. Hair match, citing their bond and the drawing potential of the match as her reasons:
"I throw a challenge. Just a little challenge. Hair versus hair, you know, um, against my, uh, my nemesis Britt Baker for All In. And the reason why I’m doing it is, one, well, because I know there’s money on the table. But two, she’s bonded by blood with me. She cannot get rid of my name no matter what happens—ever. And that gives me a lot of pleasure, too," Rosa said.
The two haven't faced off since August 2022. Britt Baker has been absent from television for months, but recent reports have indicated that she still has plenty of time on her contract.
