Rose, who will face Riho to crown the first-ever AEW Women's Champion on the October 2 AEW Dynamite premiere, was immediately blasted by fans for making a joke about rape and pedophilia. Rose responded to the criticism today and apologized.

"I would like to apologize for my comment yesterday. I have always tried to take the high road and rise above/ ignore the hateful/ hurtful insults I receive daily. Unfortunately, I let some hateful comments get in the way of my better judgment. I believe that sometimes people forget that real people are on the other end of the screen. I replied in frustration and anger and didn't consider the people that it could affect and hurt. For that I am truly sorry," Rose wrote on Twitter.

Rose captioned the post with, "My constant goal is to be better than I was the day before. Today is no exception."
