Thekla stunned the wrestling world by defeating Kris Statlander to claim the AEW Women's World Championship. The 32-year-old champion, who developed her wrestling style in Japan, has gained significant confidence in her abilities.
'Confidence can come and go, that's part of the journey,' Thekla stated. 'But one of my biggest accomplishments is getting to a point where I can say, 'I'm that good,' and actually believe it.' She credits her unique creative background and freedom from traditional wrestling influences for her distinctive style.
