Thekla says Mercedes Mone and Toni Storm are the defining tests for her title run

Thekla publicly targeting Mercedes Mone and Timeless Toni Storm creates a direct consequence, her championship direction is now centered on headline-level matchups rather than lower-tier title defenses.

Quotes

Quote from Thekla

"Mercedes [Moné] is obviously somebody who probably thinks of herself as some icon or idol here. I have a lot to say about that. Toni Storm, being the Timeless One. She’s built a platform for herself that is so far away from everything that we’re doing. It’s almost been untouchable for a long time and [she] has held [the AEW Women’s Championship] more times than I can count on this hand. She’s one of the big ones in our company, and I’d love to see who’s got it in the end."
