Current AEW Women’s World Champion and member of the Triangle of Madness stable, Thekla, is one of the promotion’s fastest-rising stars. According to Fightful Select, she has signed a new multi-year contract extension well before her original two-year deal was set to expire. The move underscores how much she has impressed Tony Khan. It’s also noted that she used an agent during negotiations, which is a growing trend in pro wrestling that likely helped her secure a deal reflecting her current market value.
“We’re told that Thekla had originally signed a two-year contract with AEW upon making the jump from Japan. However, AEW was so happy with her performance, they made the move to sign her to a new, multi-year deal not even a full year into the original deal. Thekla used representation to complete the deal.” – Fightful Select
