AEW Women’s World Champion Thekla Attacks Taro Okada at STARDOM THE CONVERSION, Thwarted by Starlight Kid

By Noah Leatherland

With Forbidden Door on the horizon, the AEW Women’s World Champion Thekla made an unexpected appearance at STARDOM THE CONVERSION in the Yoyogi National Gymnasium. The Toxic Spider attacked STARDOM President Taro Okada, but was ran off by her upcoming challenger, Starlight Kid.

Thekla snuck up on Okada at ringside, and went for him with a set of electric hair clippers. Okada managed to evade the initial attack, but once Thekla stood tall and addressed the STARDOM crowd, he soon felt her wrath.

Having spit on the STARDOM logo on AEW Dynamite, Thekla looked to do the same on the logo printed on the ring mat. Okada covered it with his body, hoping to preserve the dignity of his promotion. That only drew more punishment from Thekla. Luckily, Starlight Kid soon hit the ring to fight off the chaotic Austrian.

As Thekla was being dragged away, Starlight Kid had a message for the AEW Women’s World Champion:

Hey! This is our ring! Don’t make a mess of it any further. We will never forgive you for tarnishing STARDOM and the STARDOM logo. Go home!

Then, the masked joshi star noticed that Thekla’s championship belt had been left in the ring. Starlight Kid raised the belt high and addressed the Yoyogi crowd:

It looks pretty cool, doesn’t it! The next time I have this belt in my hands, I’ll be coming back to Japan as the champion! I’ll show you that I can protect everyone’s STARDOM from Thekla! So everyone, please watch me. Please cheer for me from Japan!

Having been kicked out of STARDOM before, Thekla was dragged out of the building by security.

Thekla and Starlight Kid are set to collide for the AEW Women’s World Championship at AEW Forbidden Door on June 28th.
