Olympus (2018 - present)[]

Rossi signed with Philadelphia-based Omega Wrestling Alliance in May 2018. It was later revealed that the main roster would be undergoing a brand split the following month, and Rossi would be assigned as the backstage interviewer on the promotion's new Los Angeles-based weekly show, Olympus.
