Let’s keep our fingers crossed

AEW star Thekla recently discussed a former WWE Champion potentially joining the Jacksonville-based promotion.

The star with four WWE championships is Kairi Sane. The Pirate Princess has not been seen in the ring since the TKO-led company released her in April. A report last month said her representatives had been in talks with All Elite Wrestling; however, they made it clear that Sane had not signed any contract.

Amid major speculation regarding her future, Thekla spoke about Kairi Sane in a recent interview with TV Insider. The Toxic Spider acknowledged that Sane had been the talk of the town; however, she made it clear that she would believe the rumors once she sees Sane in AEW.

“I always like new faces coming in. I still consider myself a new face somehow. It has only been a little bit over a year for me. I’m a huge fan of people just going from one territory to the other, like in the old days. I’m very excited to see who’s gonna step up, you know? Kairi has been the talk of the town. I’m only going to believe it once I see it. For the fans, it’s always cool to see a new matchup. We’ll see. Let’s keep our fingers crossed. Let us see if we can pice it up a little bit.” – H/T WrestlePurists

AEW star Thekla on freedom to cut promos on live television

In the same interview, Thekla was asked how much freedom she has when cutting promos on live TV. The former AEW Women’s World Champion said that while it is hard for her not to say banned words that led to fines, she pretty much says what she wants during her promos.

“Apart from the usual stuff they try to make sure I don’t say on TV? It’s very hard for me not to say on TV that whole list of words that we get fined for. Other than that, I get to say pretty much what I want. I take a lot of inspiration from what I really like, and what I really feel, and what I think about people and myself. “

Furthermore, the Toxic Spider is set to face Willow Nightingale at All Out 2026 with a future AEW Women’s World title opportunity hanging in the balance. So, it remains to be seen if she will defeat her and move on to WrestleDream PPV to challenge the reigning champion, Mercedes Mone.
