[12]

Cervantes worked through the October 2018 tapings on Women of Wrestling under her Kobra Moon ring name. Her first televised matched aired on March 1, 2019, where she was managed by Sophia Lopez as she defeated Azteca. [13] With WOW renewed for a second season, Moon's name changed to Serpentine.

Tokyo Joshi Pro (2019–2020)

On April 29, 2019, Rosa made her Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling debut, teaming with Yuki Aino against Mizuki and Yuka Sakazaki. In winning the International Princess Championship on January 5, 2020 from Maki Itoh, Rosa became the first gaijin titleholder in Tokyo Joshi Pro history. [15] On October 7, Rosa announced she had relinquished the championship as COVID-19 restrictions precluded her from traveling to Japan. [16]

National Wrestling Alliance (2019–2021)

Rosa made her National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) TV debut on the October 29, 2019 episode of NWA Power . After Marti Belle lost to Ashley Vox, Rosa entered the ring and extended her hand to Belle, which Belle declined as she left the ring. [17] On the following episode, Thunder Rosa had her in-ring debut, defeating Ashley Vox and attacking her post-match. Rosa later attacked NWA World Women's Champion Allysin Kay, with Belle also attacking Kay and aligning with Rosa. [18] On the November 19 episode of NWA Power, Belle and Rosa defeated Kay and Vox, after Melina distracted Kay, and aligning herself with Belle and Rosa.

[20] She would lose the title against Serena Deeb on October 27, 2020 at UWN Primetime Live. [21] Fightful Select reported on July 22, 2021 that her contract in NWA was bought out by All Elite Wrestling, allowing her to sign with AEW full time. [22] NWA wished her well via their Twitter account. [23]

All Elite Wrestling (2020–present)

Rosa made her All Elite Wrestling (AEW) debut on the August 22, 2020, episode of Dynamite , where she cut a promo on then-AEW Women's World Champion Hikaru Shida, and challenged her to a title match at the All Out pay-per-view show. [24] On the September 2 episode of Dynamite, Rosa made her AEW in-ring debut, where she defeated Serena Deeb. [25] At All Out, Rosa unsuccessfully challenged Shida for the AEW Women's World Championship. [26] On the September 16 episode of Dynamite, Rosa successfully defended her NWA World Women's Championship against Ivelisse. After the match, Rosa was attacked by Diamante and Ivelisse, and was later saved by Shida, turning Rosa face in the process. [27] Week later on Dynamite, Rosa teamed with Shida when they defeated Diamante and Ivelisse in a tag team match. [28] On the November 17, 2020 episode of AEW Dark , Rosa defeated challenger Lindsay Snow. [29] On the November 18 episode of Dynamite, Rosa fought Deeb in a rematch for the NWA Women's Championship, but would lose following outside interference from Dr. Britt Baker. [30] [31] [32] After the match, Rosa brawled with Baker. [32]

On the March 17, 2021, episode of Dynamite, Thunder Rosa and Britt Baker became the first women to main event Dynamite; Rosa defeated Baker in an intense Unsanctioned Lights Out match that was highly praised by critics, and widely viewed as breaking down sexist assumptions that women wrestlers couldn't wrestle a "hardcore" style match. [33] [34] [35] Eleven months after her debut, on her 35th birthday July 22, 2021, it was announced that Rosa had officially signed a full-time deal with AEW. [36] On the November 24 special episode of Dynamite being AEW Thanksgiving EVE, Rosa competed in the AEW TBS women's championship tournament where she faced Jamie Hayter and beat her. [37] On the December 29 special episode of Dynamite being AEW New Year's Smash Rosa faced Jade Cargill in the semi finals of the TBS tournament which Rosa lost due to interference by Mercedes Martinez. [38]

Impact Wrestling (2021)

Thunder Rosa made her Impact debut on July 17, 2021 at its annual Slammiversary PPV as the mystery opponent for Impact Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo.

Professional wrestling style and persona

In keeping with her training (by North Carolina's Matt Carlos and Dylan Drake), Cervantes/Thunder Rosa "wrestles stiff". [39] Her wrestling style is an aggressive, energetic and explosive blend of harsh striking, intense submissions, lucha libre, technical skills and impressive feats of strength. Thunder Rosa has been popular with fans whether presented as a "face" (hero) or a "heel" (villain). Her persona is intentionally nonconformist: fearless; aggressive; supremely self-confident; recalcitrant; outspoken.

Cervantes' "Thunder Rosa" ring name is a tribute to Thunder Road, a rehabilitation center for teenagers Cervantes worked at for over 2 years, which overlapped with the training and launch phases of her wrestling career. It was a collaboration between Cervantes, her husband and a Thunder Road coworker on a car ride home after attending a wrestling show. Cervantes wanted a name that appealed to both Latinos and non-Latino Americans, would honor her work with teens, and be easy for fans to chant during her matches. [40]

Cervantes’ Day of the Dead face paint represents many things at once: rebirth; triumph over personal and family tragedy; and to honor, celebrate and fight for the memory of people’s dead loved ones. The face paint was suggested to Cervantes by a Latino wrestling booker of an indie show she was working in California; he said her face would distract the crowd from her character because it was “too pretty.” Cervantes did not use the Day of the Dead face paint elsewhere, for fear of being typecast by non-Latin promoters/bookers as a “Mexican wrestler” caricature/stereotype.

When Cervantes’ uncle attended one of her matches (at a Lucha Underground taping), he told her it was the first time he had attended a wrestling show in years. Cervantes’ grandfather died of a heart attack at a Tijuana wrestling show; her uncle, then a child who watched wrestling weekly, was sitting on her grandfather’s lap at the time. Due to the close, painful association of wrestling with his father’s death, Cervantes’ uncle had hated wrestling ever since. However, watching Cervantes wrestle rekindled his childhood love of wrestling, and convinced him she had been destined to become a wrestler. The paint also symbolizes the rebirth of Cervantes’ career, after a concussion in Japan put her out of work for a month. Cervantes’ husband suggested that when she resumed performing, she also resume the face paint to stand out from other wrestlers. [40]

Personal life

Cervantes became a US citizen on February 21, 2019. [47] [48]

Cervantes graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 2010 with a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology. [49]

Before wrestling and during the early years of her wrestling career, Cervantes was a professional social worker, doing case work with at-risk young adults struggling with mental illness, homelessness, substance abuse and other life issues. When she realized that season three of Lucha Underground would pay enough to surpass her income as a social worker, Cervantes' husband encouraged her to focus 100% of her time and effort on wrestling. [40]

Lucha Underground Lawsuit

On February 6, 2019 it was reported that Cervantes, Ivelisse Vélez, Joey Ryan, and Jorge Luis Alcantar (aka, El Hijo del Fantasma/King Cuerno) had filed a class-action lawsuit in California against Lucha Underground's coproducers: the El Rey Network and the Baba-G production company. The performers alleged that their Lucha Underground contracts were illegal under California law because they unfairly restricted their ability to work in their chosen profession. [50] [51] In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Cervantes said that she joined Lucha Underground for season 2 under a 5-year contract. However, production of the series ended after less than 4 full seasons' worth of episodes were made. This left Cervantes, et al. -- who, as professional wrestlers in the U.S., work as independent contractors—trapped in a situation where they were effectively fired yet also contractually blocked from working for any other wrestling companies until their Lucha Underground contracts expired (i.e., at least 1–2 years later), or they each paid a $5,000 (USD) escape clause fee. [40] By March 26, 2019, all lawsuits had been settled in the wrestlers' favor, and they were freed from their LU contracts. [52]
