A newly arrived AEW star has officially been added to the Jacksonville-based promotion's roster page. The talent in question, Thekla, made her in-ring debut for the company just a day after former All Elite name Mariah May made her shocking WWE debut.

The Toxic Spider made her first All Elite Wrestling appearance on the May 28 edition of Dynamite, where she interrupted Jamie Hayter's interview and laid out the former Women's World Champion. She competed in an AEW ring for the very first time this week at Fyter Fest, where she swiftly defeated the formidable Lady Frost. Thekla continued to punish her opponent post-match but was forced to back down after the intervention of Queen Aminata.

With her first win in the Tony Khan-led company now secured, it seems that the former SWA World Champion has been officially added to the All Elite roster; her profile is now visible on the promotion's official website.

Thekla's AEW in-ring debut comes on the heels of Mariah May's surprising first-ever NXT appearance, which left the WWE Universe in shock this past Tuesday. The Glamour's former tag partner, rival, and ally, Mina Shirakawa, recently joined the All Elite Wrestling roster and could soon cross paths with her old foe in the recently signed "Idol Killer".


Thekla's next AEW match has been set

After fending off Thekla's post-bout ambush on Lady Frost, Queen Aminata sent a message calling out AEW's latest acquisition and challenged her to a match next week to resolve their conflict. The showdown has since been made official for the June 11 TV special Summer Blockbuster.

It remains to be seen whether Aminata will be able to stop Thekla in her tracks, or if the 32-year-old Austrian will continue to build on her win streak next week.
