Thunder Rosa couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
The All Elite Wrestling women’s world champion was speaking to a class of fifth graders in Las Vegas and telling them schools are safe on May 24. An hour later, 19 children and two adults were killed in a shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas just 45 minutes from her home in San Antonio. She felt compelled to do what she could to help.
“I don’t feel comfortable not doing something for my community,” Rosa said in a Zoom interview.
To aid the victims and families affected by the tragedy, Rosa is auctioning off the full ring gear — with the help Gold & Silver Pawn shop made famous by the show “Pawn Stars” — that she wore for her successful title defense against Serena Deeb at AEW’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view. The winner will get her headpiece, robe, boots and everything else along with an 8×10 photo signed by Rosa, Deeb and referee Aubrey Edwards. The current bid is $5,000 with all proceeds going to the families through Victims First. Bidding closes Friday at 11:59 p.m.
