New AEW star recently teased facing Mercedes Mone

New AEW star Thekla hinted at a potential match with the TBS Champion Mercedes Mone more than a month before her All Elite debut on Dynamite this week.

During her interview with Pro Wrestling Illustrated, Thekla shared her views on Mercedes Mone holding multiple belts. She also said that she would love to step into the ring with The CEO.

“I saw her at the Tokyo Dome. She had a bit of a thing with Mina Shirakawa. Now, she’s got four belts. I think that’s a little much. Seeing her walking around with four belts? I’m a little concerned for her well-being. It looks a little heavy. I think somebody outta help her out with carrying those, if you know what I mean. I’d love to step in the ring with her for sure.”

Moreover, Thekla has finally arrived in AEW, and only time will tell what Tony Khan has in store for her in the coming weeks.
