Not since Mariah May has a girl walked into AEW and risen up the ranks like Thekla has. Still lower than a yr into her AEW tenure, “The Toxic Spider” is already among the many top stars in AEW’s women’s division, forming the Triangle of Madness with Julia Hart and Skye Blue, winning the AEW Women’s World Championship from Kris Statlander in February, and even signing a brand latest extension with AEW just a number of weeks ago.
In an interview with TMZ Sports’ “Contained in the Ring,” Thekla talked about life in AEW, from becoming close backstage with Hart, Blue, and Megan Bayne to her quick adjustment to AEW when she first joined last yr. When she was later asked about re-signing with AEW and what helped her make the choice, Thekla stated that the vibe of the promotion, from her boss Tony Khan to the remaining of the ladies’s locker room, just made it the natural place for her to ply her craft.
“I feel AEW is the proper fit for me,” Thekla said. “So when bossman asked me, it’s like ‘Hey, would you mind staying with us for a little bit longer than we originally said?’, I used to be like ‘Yeah! If the circumstances are right and permit it for me to, you realize, feel lucrative enough, I definitely pondering that may very well be a really cute idea.’
“It’s great, truthfully, a no brainer. I really like TK, I really like working with him, and I really like his energy backstage. And all the ladies are nice, the locker room is quiet and peaceful, and I really like my job. It’s cute. I needn’t…I do not think the grass is greener anywhere else, because I’m sitting within the f*****g garden, you realize?”
