Thekla Says The Reception Has Been Amazing Since She Joined AEW
Thekla discusses joining AEW and her thoughts on working regularly in the United States.
Prior to joining AEW, she was making a name for herself in Japan as part of the STARDOM promotion. Speaking to Kate Elizabeth at WrestleCon in August 2025, Thekla said that the support she has received from fans who have followed her career since moving to America has been humbling, and she never could have expected such a response.
“It’s been pretty good, I think. I was not expecting anything coming to the States after living in Japan for five years. I had never been really working in the States except for two times before I joined AEW. The reception has been so amazing. I’m super happy about how many people are actually supporting me and have been since my STARDOM days. So thank you all for being around for that long. It’s really cool. It’s a humbling experience.”
