Former AEW Women's World Champion Mariah May's contract with All Elite Wrestling will reportedly expire in the summer of this year. Furthermore, there are strong rumors that she is WWE-bound. The Glamour is an exceptional in-ring performer and a talented promo cutter. If she signs with the Stamford-based company, it will be a huge loss for Tony Khan. However, this opens the possibility for AEW to recruit a 31-year-old star in her place.
Austrian professional wrestler Thekla recently got done with World Wonder Ring STARDOM. The 31-year-old was one of the biggest names in the Japanese promotion. She has held the Goddess of STARDOM Championship and the Artist of STARDOM Championship once each. The talented star is also a former SWA World Champion (now defunct). Interestingly, according to several sources, she is expected to work in the United States soon.

It looks like there is going to be a bidding war for her between AEW and WWE. However, Tony Khan must do everything to bring her to the Jacksonville-based promotion. Thekla will be a brilliant addition to the All Elite Wrestling roster and is capable of having amazing matches with names such as Mercedes Mone, Toni Storm, Athena, and more. Furthermore, she will represent the country of Austria, the same nation that former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther belongs to.
AEW President Tony Khan thought that the Jon Moxley 'spiked bat' spot was great for business
A few weeks ago, on Dynamite, Adam Copeland Suplexed Jon Moxley on a spiked bat during their Street Fight Match for the World Title. This spot was gruesome and is now quite infamous. Interestingly, in a recent interview with the Way of the Blade podcast, Tony Khan said that the spot was great for business, as it generated immense mainstream attention.
"It made new fans and created interest. It was on TMZ. There are people who weren’t watching AEW that saw it. It brought outside fans in and created casual interest,'' he said.
Despite the gruesome spot, Moxley managed to retain his title. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the reigning world champion.
