AEW wrestler Thekla will face Willow Nightingale at All Out on Sept. 26 for a chance to challenge Women's Champion Mercedes Moné. Thekla said she wants to beat Nightingale, who took the title from her at Redemption in July.
Thekla said AEW gives her considerable freedom to shape her TV promos, apart from words that could lead to fines. She draws on what she likes and feels, and thinks audiences may connect with her for being unapologetically herself.
Thekla said she expects to face Moné but was unsure whether it would happen at WrestleDream, noting that injuries can disrupt plans.
