2025 has been a monumental year for AEW. Tony Khan has made several impressive signings, and the company appears well-positioned for the future. All Elite Wrestling has hired names such as “Speedball” Mike Bailey, Megan Bayne, Mina Shirakawa, Kevin Knight, and Josh Alexander this year.
A few days back, Thekla's four-year run in World Wonder Ring Stardom ended. The 32-year-old Austrian wrestler is currently one of the best in the world. In the Japanese promotion, she has held the Goddess of Stardom Championship, the Artist of Stardom Championship, and the now-defunct Artist of Stardom Championship once each. Many top promotions across the world wanted the free agent. However, according to recent reports, AEW has won this bidding war.
