Thekla handed STARDOM’s Starlight Kid a brutal humiliation at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, taking the AEW Women’s World Title with a striking performance. After the final bell, Thekla ripped off Starlight Kid’s iconic mask, then viciously slammed her before shredding the mask to pieces.
The explosive post-match melee led to immediate 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 safety inside the sport.
