Thekla handed STARDOM’s Starlight Kid a brutal defeat at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, taking the AEW Women’s World Title with a striking performance. As confetti fell, Thekla ripped off Starlight Kid’s iconic mask, then wildly attacked her before shredding the mask to pieces.
The explosive post-match melee led to swift Japanese suspension for Thekla, with Stardom bosses confirming the ban. She also threatened Stardom president Taro Okada during the fallout, deepening the controversy. Wrestling observers now question order inside the sport.
