In the first <em><strong>AEW Dynamite<\/strong><\/em><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>after <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2022\/03\/16\/thunder-rosa-aew-womens-championship\/\" target=\"_self\">Rosa won her crowning achievement<\/a>, she was unceremoniously interrupted and assaulted by the <strong>Vicious Vixens<\/strong>. Undeterred, Thunder Rosa would come out, time and time again, to address her loyal fans.<\/p>\n<p>However, the result always ends up being the same; Rose and Guerrero interrupt and steal the spotlight off of Rosa. For Thunder Rosa, the disrespect ends here. Rosa believes she earned every bit of her time in the limelight, as the reigning and defending AEW Women&#8217;s World Champion.<\/p>\n<p>These antics will not go unpunished. This Saturday night, &#8220;The Native Beast&#8221; better be on her toes. As Thunder Rosa will give her all she can handle. Will Thunder Rosa be successful in her first title defense or will Nyla Rose regain the AEW Women&#8217;s World Championship and start her second reign?<\/p>\n<h3>Undisputed<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Dalton<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Castle<\/strong> and <strong>The Boys<\/strong> make their way to\u00a0AEW at\u00a0<em>Battle of the Belts<\/em>.

Two weeks after going to hell and back with <strong>Bandido <\/strong>at <em><strong>Supercard of Honor XV<\/strong><\/em>, Gresham defends the ROH World Championship this Saturday night fight night.<\/p>\n<p>Not to be outdone, Castle picked up a massive win on the same night opposite\u00a0<strong>Joe Hendry<\/strong>. Dalton Castle once held the ROH World Title for over six months. Suffice it to say, he wouldn&#8217;t mind another run with the gold. However, standing in his way is one of the best, if not, <em>the<\/em> best technical wrestlers the professional wrestling business has to offer. Something&#8217;s got to give this Saturday night at\u00a0<em>Battle of the Belts<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Will Dalton Castle win his second ROH World Championship? Or will Jonathan Gresham add another top-notch performer to his list of victims?
