Thekla stunned the wrestling world by defeating Kris Statlander to capture the AEW Women's World Championship. The Austrian-born wrestler has developed unshakeable confidence over the past year or two, stating 'I'm that good' and actually believing it.
Having discovered wrestling through punk rock shows at age 19 and developed her craft primarily in Japan, Thekla brings a unique creative approach to AEW, drawing from various influences rather than traditional wrestling history.
