Britt Baker challenged to hair vs hair match at All In Texas as Thunder Rosa publicly issued the proposal, hoping to settle their long-running rivalry at AEW’s upcoming pay-per-view. The dramatic invitation was made less than a month before the event scheduled for July 12 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
Thunder Rosa Proposes Major Stipulation for AEW Return
After a lengthy absence from AEW following her last televised win against Penelope Ford in November, Britt Baker remains under contract for the company’s future plans. As anticipation builds around the All In Texas show, Thunder Rosa has stepped forward, using her personal vlog to suggest a bold match stipulation that would put both competitors’ hair on the line.
“I threw a challenge — just a little challenge — hair vs. hair against my nemesis Britt Baker.
“The reason why I’m doing it is, one, I know there is money on the table. Two, she’s bonded by blood with me. She cannot get rid of my name, no matter what happens [laughs]. Ever.
“That gives me a lot of pleasure.”
—Thunder Rosa, AEW wrestler
Enduring Rivalry and Lasting Impact on Women’s Wrestling
The competitive history between Rosa and Baker stretches back nearly three years, notably highlighted by their Unsanctioned Lights Out match during the 2021 St. Patrick’s Slam edition of Dynamite. That encounter proved pivotal, not only intensifying their personal feud but also helping shift perceptions of women’s wrestling in AEW, showing a new level of physicality and storytelling.
Despite suggestions that both athletes have moved beyond their historic conflicts, reports indicate lingering backstage tensions have sometimes fueled their in-ring drama. This persistent rivalry, coupled with their shared status as former AEW Women’s World Champions, raises stakes for any encounter, especially with such a personal stipulation.
Speculation Surrounds the Card for All In Texas
With the All In Texas event upon the horizon, matches compete for a place on what is expected to be a highly competitive card. Whether AEW President Tony Khan will authorize a high-profile Hair vs. Hair match between Baker and Rosa remains unknown, but many believe the personal history and mainstream appeal of this contest could make it a strong candidate for a major pay-per-view spotlight.
As fans and observers debate the merits of Thunder Rosa’s challenge, the wrestling world awaits AEW’s official decision. If sanctioned, the match at Globe Life Field could not only reignite this intense rivalry but also provide a memorable moment for both the competitors and the company.
