Summary

Thekla retained the AEW Women’s Title at AEW Revolution in a two-out-of-three falls match with Kris Statlander.

Thekla won the first fall with a bridge pin while using the ropes. Statlander answered by taking the second fall after a running maneuver that broke Thekla's spider submission hold, then hit Saturday Night Fever.

Late in the match, the referee was knocked out and Thekla temporarily lost control of the belt before the Sisters of Sun, Julia Hart and Skye Blue, entered the mix. As Statlander moved on the belt again, the referee retrieved it, and Thekla finished with a spear and two stomps to claim the decisive fall.

Winner

Thekla won after a three-fall sequence. She secured the match victory in the final stretch with a spear followed by two stomps, following the moment the referee and title belt dispute was resolved.

What the AEW Women’s title defense means for AEW

Thekla’s second title defense at AEW Revolution keeps the women’s championship stable heading into the weeks after the pay-per-view, and the chaos around the stolen belt gives her next defense a clear continuation point against Kris Statlander.

She first captured the title from Statlander in a strap match on the February 11 episode of AEW Dynamite, so this follow-up at Revolution reinforces that the rivalry still has unresolved momentum from that pairing, even as both women were involved in active intervention and interference.

Fans looking for the wider arc around Thekla and her AEW rise can review her reflections on the Sisters of Sun.
