"It was for me; it was an honor to share the locker room with Rey Mysterio. I remember the first time I met him; I didn't know who he was because he didn't have his mask on. He was like, 'Hi, my name is Oscar. Hi, you know, I'm, you know, Mellisa, it's nice to meet you'. And then he passed around, 'Oh, that was Rey Mysterio' (laughs). He was really accessible with all of us. Like if you have a question or you needed feedback, he'd be open to do it. He had tremendous matches with a lot of the talent there. Just to be able to be in the apron and watching him putting matches together with Ricochet, with Pentagon, with Fenix, it was like a dream come true. Who can say that they worked with Rey in a show like Lucha Underground?"

Thunder Rosa is currently the NWA World Women's Champion who also works for AEW as part of an inter-promotional deal between the two companies. During the latest edition of UnSKripted, Rosa also spoke about Dominik's debut, the rise of Becky Lynch, the AEW Women's division, the male stars she would like to face and more.
