Thekla on Her Signing with AEW & Liked Its “Punk Feel” As A Wrestling Company, Working for Tony Khan, & Her Work with Julia Hart & Skye Blue as Triangle of Madness in AEW

A recent episode of the Talk Is Jericho podcast featured Thekla as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Thekla’s thoughts about her signing with AEW and what about AEW that appears to her.

“I had always told my friends back when AEW first started, I was like, ‘Hey guys, just so you know, this is where I’m going to be at some point. So just heads up.’ So then my cocky attitude kind of led me also to be like, you gotta follow up on that one.

When I first started watching WWE and learning about how things are done over there, I think generally I didn’t love the idea of having to not (do) things my way. Everybody knows that you gotta drop your name and have to do whatever somebody tells you. I’m not great with authority.

When AEW started, I thought, okay, something new. I love a good underdog. And I just liked the melting pot of people who started there. It just had more of a punk feel and more of a fresh feel. I was like, that’s probably a good place for me at some point. I was super green at the time still. It was a far future type of thing. But I just had a good feeling about it.”

Thekla also gave her thoughts about her working for AEW CEO Tony Khan.

“I think Tony’s great. I think he’s a f—ing saint. He’s doing something that hasn’t been done before, and he’s taking care of so many people, and he’s doing it all by himself.”

Thekla also gave her thoughts about her work with Julia Hart and Skye Blue as the Triangle of Madness group in AEW.

“Julia and Skye are phenomenal. Skye is, especially since we’ve worked together, I’ve been watching her stuff more. She’s getting so vicious, just kicking people straight in the face.

And Julia is just crazy when it comes to aura. She knows how to command a room and she’s one of the most creative people I know. Backstage, we’re just vibing.”
