Thekla Expected to Join AEW – Thekla’s time with Stardom has officially come to an end after more than three years with the promotion, marking the conclusion of a memorable chapter in her career. According to a new report from Fightful Select, Thekla’s contract with the top joshi promotion has expired, and she is now preparing for a move to the United States—a transition that has reportedly been in the works for quite some time.
While the former Stardom standout has yet to publicly confirm her next destination, Fightful notes that several U.S.-based promotions are interested in signing her. WWE reportedly had eyes on Thekla around the same time Giulia was signed, and discussions about her potential were acknowledged internally. In addition to WWE, All Elite Wrestling has shown significant interest, particularly in late 2024, as Thekla’s contract situation with Stardom became more defined.
Independent promotions in the U.S. have also reached out about booking Thekla, underlining her growing reputation as a highly sought-after talent on the international market. However, sources within AEW have expressed confidence that she is ultimately heading to their company. Though nothing has been officially confirmed, AEW is widely believed to be her likely landing spot.
Thekla made a strong impact in Stardom with her charisma, in-ring versatility, and work as a member of Donna del Mondo. Her departure adds to the shifting landscape of women’s wrestling, particularly with major U.S. companies continuing to scout and recruit talent from Japan.
With her time in Japan complete and her next steps drawing widespread attention, Thekla’s move to the U.S. is poised to generate buzz wherever she lands. Whether she signs with AEW, WWE, or works the independent scene, her presence is expected to be felt in a big way.
