In her recent conversation with the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, professional wrestler Thunder Rosa expressed skepticism regarding fellow wrestler Ridge Holland’s readiness for the NXT World Championship.
Thunder Rosa shares on the podcast that while she acknowledges Holland’s efforts towards growth and improvement, she is not yet entirely convinced about his readiness for the big leagues.
She expressed her thoughts saying, “I’m not entirely persuaded as of now, though I realize he is diligently working towards his goals.”
She also shared her reaction to the verbal jabbing Holland directed towards Bully Ray and Dave LaGreca at the NXT Halloween Havoc event.
She recalled, “When I was watching Ridge Holland’s promo, I found myself instinctively reacting and my son asked me, ‘Why are you cursing at that man?’ I replied, ‘Because he disrespected my best friend, Dave LaGreca.'”
In the same conversation, Thunder Rosa also praised a scene from the recent WWE NXT episode where Shawn Spears interacts with NXT North American Champion Tony D’Angelo at a restaurant. She compared the intensity and drama of that moment to a high-stakes soap opera.
Sharing her experience, she commented, “As I watched the interaction between Shawn Spears and the NXT champion on ‘WWE NXT,’ it felt like I was engrossed in a soap opera due to the impeccable acting.”
The former AEW Women’s World Champion further added, “If a newcomer tunes in, it’s a perfect segment to understand the personalities involved. The reveal of Niko Vance was excellently done. The entire segment was flawlessly executed in a duration spanning 45 seconds to a little more than a minute.”
