AEW’s Thekla Captures Stardom Trios Title After Defeating Starlight Kid

AEW Women’s World Champion Thekla continued her rivalry with Japan’s Stardom promotion at the Forbidden Door pay‑per‑view, retaining her AEW title by defeating Starlight Kid and mocking Stardom’s logo. Later, she and her Triangle of Madness stablemates Julia Hart and Skye Blue won the Artist of Stardom (trios) championships, beating Hina, Ami Sohrei and Lady C in the semi‑main event of Stardom’s 5 Star Grand Prix tournament. Thekla pledged to defend the trios belts worldwide and has an upcoming AEW Women’s World Championship defense against Willow Nightingale at the Redemption PPV on July 26. Mercedes Mone also secured a future world‑title match at All In, but the focus remains on Thekla’s dominance across both promotions.
