Thekla handed STARDOM’s Starlight Kid a brutal humiliation at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, claiming the AEW Women’s World Title with a striking performance. Once the ropes hit, Thekla ripped off Starlight Kid’s iconic mask, then wildly attacked her before shredding the mask to pieces.
The explosive post-match scuffle led to instant Japanese suspension for Thekla, with Stardom bosses confirming the ban. She also went after Stardom president Taro Okada during the fallout, deepening the controversy. Wrestling observers now question order inside the sport.
