Thunder Rosa Shares Enthusiasm for Persephone’s AEW and CMLL Contract
Persephone, who signed a dual contract with AEW and Mexico’s Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) this past January, is receiving promising support from fellow wrestler Thunder Rosa. In a recent interview with ABC 7 KVIA, Rosa expressed excitement about Persephone’s rising profile in the AEW promotion and her growing reputation in Mexico.
“Off the air, we mentioned Persephone who is signed with CMLL and AEW. [She is] a local here from El Paso, someone who was going with the name of Black Widow. She actually wrestled for me a couple years ago when I had Mission Pro Wrestling. I just see her grow and see how loved she is in Mexico and now here with some of the pay-per-views that she’s done to show her talent. She’s so talented. This is just the tip of the iceberg, I’m excited to see where she’s going.”
