Several Stardom Talents Respond to Thekla’s “Death To Stardom” Promo Segment at 6/3 AEW Dynamite Show

As noted before, Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show in Richmond, Virginia featured AEW Women’s World Champion Thekla giving a promo calling out Stardom ahead of this month’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2026 event. During her promo segment, Thekla declared “death to Stardom” and spitted on the company’s logo that was shown on the large video screen on the stage.

Following the show, several Stardom talents responded to Thekla’s comments on Twitter. Among those who responded included IWGP Women’s Champion Syuri, Starlight Kid, and Lady C.

Syuri responded stating “Tekla…”

Starlight Kid responded stating:

“！？！？！？

Lady C responded stating:

“Why would you do something like that…? I’ve clashed with Teca a few times, but not once did I ever understand what was going through her mind. Even after getting fired from Stardom, even after becoming the AEW Women’s World Champion, her obsession with Stardom still— isn’t it because she actually loves Stardom?”

なんでそんなことを、、、

テクラとは何度か戦ってきたけど、一度も彼女の考えてることがわからなかった。

スターダムをクビになっても、AEW女子世界王者になっても、それでもスターダムに執着しているのはスターダムが好きだからじゃないの？ https://t.co/ox21R9Q4Xe

In a follow-up tweet, Lady C stated:

“It’s so frustrating. Even when someone leaves, we’ve kept protecting Stardom. One person’s strength might be small, but we’ve protected it together. Stardom is our pride.”

くやしいな。

誰かがいなくなっても、私たちはスターダムを守り続けてきた。

ひとりの力は小さいかもしれないけど、みんなで守ってきた。

スターダムは誇り。

Former Stardom and current AEW talent Mina Shirakawa also responded to Thekla’s comments and actions stating “Damn… that’s really disrespectful. Man, that’s really harsh, for real.”

Damn… that’s really disrespectful.

いやぁ。酷いわ本当。 https://t.co/kPL9AZpRaz
