Latest On Thekla's All In Status (AEW News)
What's going on with the former AEW Women's Champion? Will she even be in London for All In?!
Fightful Select is reporting that Thekla's status for AEW All In 2026 this weekend remains unclear. During a Q&A session, the website noted that the former Women's Champion "absolutely deserves to be on the card in a substantial way", but nothing is certain at time of writing.
A fan had asked if Thekla was being saved for incoming ex-WWE star Kairi Sane, but Fightful noted that Sane "isn't signed to any company, and there's still work to be done on that". The former Damage CTRL and Kabuki Warriors member departed WWE this past April - she'd been with the company since 2023, following an initial stint between 2016-2021.
Currently, the only 2 women's matches on the slate for All In are Mercedes Mone vs. Willow Nightingale for the Women's Title and a Women's Tag-Team Title clash pitting Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) vs. The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor).
Thus far, nothing has been pencilled in for Thekla, but there are some fans who still believe/hope that Kairi will be in attendance for London this weekend. That'd certainly be a neat surprise, but the pay-per-view probably doesn't need to be overstuffed.
Will Ospreay challenging Kenny Omega for the AEW World Title, Adam Copeland and Christian Cage vs. The Young Bucks for the tag straps and a Continental Challenge Cup finale pitting Jon Moxley vs. Nigel McGuinness are all huge matches for Tony Khan's league.
Fightful clearly believes that Thekla belongs on one of the biggest AEW shows of the year. It's hard to argue that. Will she be? The jury's out.
