Thekla knows her shot at STARDOM got people talking in Japan, but she is not backing down at all.
During an appearance on Highspots’ Virtual Gimmick Table, Thekla addressed the fallout from her AEW Dynamite segment where she spat on the STARDOM logo. The moment already got a furious response from STARDOM President Taro Okada, who called it “vulgar, cowardly, and shameful” before saying it was unforgivable.
Thekla made it clear that she does not care who was upset by it. She ripped into STARDOM’s roster, admitted she may be going after the company that once gave her a platform, and said her issues with the promotion are nothing new.
“Well, I mean, they’re all dumb btches obviously, and I think I’m biting the hand that used to feed me also. But at the same time, it’s like, yeah, yeah, fck that. They know. I’ve told it straight to their face that I don’t like a lot of the sh*t they do.”*
Thekla then took direct aim at Okada. With Forbidden Door coming up, she said the STARDOM president is still going to get what is coming to him.
“Taro Okada, he’s still gonna get his beating sooner or f*cking later. Probably sooner since we’ve got Forbidden Door coming up.”*
The AEW Women’s Champion also acknowledged that the Dynamite segment may have caused a bigger issue than expected. She said Japan has been all over the situation, and she claimed AEW may now be apologizing to STARDOM over what happened. That still did not change her attitude.
“This time, I may have f*cked it up a little bit because all of Japan is tweeting about me. I just looked at a message and I saw that AEW might be apologizing to STARDOM for the things I done did but, f*ck em.”
“I’m gonna go over there and kick every single person’s ass who dares to talk sht back at me.”*
This all started on the June 3 episode of AEW Dynamite, when Thekla turned her attention to Forbidden Door and took a direct shot at STARDOM. She reminded fans that she was called “The Idol Killer” during her time with the company, then climbed a ladder in front of the big screen and spat on the STARDOM logo.
AEW commentary apologized after the moment aired, but Thekla’s latest comments make it clear she is not looking to smooth things over. With Forbidden Door featuring talent from AEW, CMLL, NJPW, and STARDOM, she has now made her issue with the promotion even more personal.
