Thekla handed STARDOM’s Starlight Kid a brutal defeat at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, snatching the AEW Women’s World Title with a striking performance. After the final bell, Thekla ripped off Starlight Kid’s iconic mask, then viciously slammed her before shredding the mask to pieces.
The explosive post-match scuffle led to swift Japanese suspension for Thekla, with Stardom bosses confirming the ban. She also threatened Stardom president Taro Okada during the ruckus, deepening the controversy. Wrestling observers now question trust inside the sport.
