Thunder Rosa's first singles match after her return was on AEW Collison

After being out for over a year, the former Women's Champion made her triumphant comeback on the December 16, 2023, edition of Collison. During the show, she saved Abadon, who was‌ attacked by TNT Champion Julia Hart and Skye Blue.

In addition, she returned to the singles competition this month. On the January 20, 2024 edition of Collision, she defeated Queen Aminata. She is set to wrestle her first Dynamite singles match on the January 24 episode of Dynamite.

It remains to be seen how she will perform following her injury. It will also be interesting to see whether the star will get a renewed push for either the women's title or the TNT Championship on AEW programming.
