Thekla remains to be AEW Women’s World Champion after successfully defeating Thunder Rosa on “AEW Dynamite” in Rosa’s home state of Texas after weeks of the ladies battling on the microphone in promos and backstage segments. Additionally they competed with no assistance on the skin, as Julia Hart and Skye Blue, in addition to former AEW Women’s Champion Kris Statlander remained within the back.
Thekla gave Rosa the primary shot and Rosa bounced her face-first off three of the turnbuckles. Rosa took the battle to the skin of the ring and got on the barricade to take the champion out with a cross body. She got her back within the ring and put her up on the ropes and hit her with a kick to the back of the top, but Thekla quickly regained momentum and booted Rosa back out of the ring.
The ladies went back-and-forth and Rosa looked to have momentum going with a low running dropkick to Thekla. She followed it up with a suplex, but Thekla kicked out. The champion hit her spider pose taunt within the corner and connected with a spear to Rosa, but as an alternative of pinning her, Thekla lifted her opponent’s shoulders off the mat. Rosa then dodged a stomp and hit the Thunder Fire driver, but Thekla kicked out.
Thekla dodged a clothesline and rocked Rosa with a second spear, followed by the stomp for the victory. After the match, Statlander got here out to run off the Triangle of Madness and stop Thekla from further beating up Rosa.
