Thekla Says Father’s Of Children Who Were Present During ‘Dumb Bitches’ Promo Thought It Was Fine

Thekla recalls a promo where she used her now signature ‘dumb bitches’ line where children were nearby in the crowd.

On the April 15th edition of AEW Dynamite, the AEW Women’s World Champion would make her way through the crowd, cutting a promo on her fellow AEW women’s roster members, noting that they were ‘dumb bitches’. The timing of the promo came as she made her way past several kids in the crowd, who notably reacted to the promo.

While speaking to the Close-Up with Renee Paquette, Thekla spoke about the moment, noting that the father’s of the kids tagged her to let her know they held no ill will against her for the swearing.

“I did see that. As I was walking down, I didn’t see the kids there, obviously. But I watched it back. I was like, man, I’m a dumb bitch for choosing that spot. But I also got tagged by the dads of the kids. There’s a little boy and a little girl who look at me like, (confused look) but they both tagged me in content because people are like, well, she’s terrible for talking like that next to little kids, and the dads were like, ‘no, it’s fine.’ They’re both like- they’re both Thekla fans. Then like with photos, you know, of the kids just being like, ‘yay.’ So yeah, little kids love me for some reason. I don’t know. So it’s like, we’ll be fine.”

Elsewhere in another recent interview, Thekla spoke about speaking without cursing on AEW programming. You can read more about that here.
