The first defense in Thekla’s inaugural AEW Women’s World title reign will be on next Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite as she will face former champion Thunder Rosa.
The first time ever singles match will be held in El Paso, Texas — Rosa’s home state.
Rosa made a surprise return last Wednesday after being out since last July’s All In Texas with an injury. She aligned with Kris Statlander against Thekla and the Sisters of Sin, defeating Julia Hart on Saturday’s Collision in her first match back.
Thekla will appear on this Saturday’s Collision as Rosa teams with Statlander against Hart and Skye Blue. Thekla defeated Statlander for the title in an surprise win earlier this month.
Rosa is looking for her second title run and first since August 2022 when she was stripped of the title due to a back injury that kept her out of action for well over a year.
