Thekla & Mercedes Mone won their respective matches at AEW Forbidden Door last night, which presumably means they’ll be facing off for the AEW Women’s World Championship at All In in London, England on August 30. Mercedes had some words for Thekla during the post-show media scrum, basically wondering if the Toxic Spider was ready for her.

To no one’s surprise, Thekla had a response for Mercedes when she appeared some time afterward. She also spoke on her interaction with STARDOM President Toro Okada at the event, expressing her desire to end his company.

On Her Thoughts on Mercedes Mone’s Words Towards Her:

“Did she win? I didn’t watch. Honestly, I had other s*** to do. Honestly, I don’t know what’s going on. Is is it Maya uh Planet World or is it uh what did Mercedes win? Good. Good for Good for her. Good for her. Round of applause for Mercedes first of all. So, what is it going to be? Uh Mercedes versus the champ. The best champ that’s ever been that’s ever going to be. Yeah. Uh great. Cool. Good for her. Good. Good for me, I guess, because I’m going to retain. I don’t care. This baby is glued to me unless I take it off myself, babies. I don’t care what you think. Beautiful. I don’t care what’s what you think is going to happen. This is mine. I got it after eight months. I’m going to have it for 16 at least. It’s my favorite accessory at this point. Round of applause for me!”

On Attacking STARDOM President Toro Okada at Forbidden Door:

“Oh, every time I get to face him, every time I see his dumb face, it’s a blast. I love it. I love that he got he got my money. I’m not sure if he used it, I put it in his poor ass account. I love any chance I get to whoop his ass. So Tony, is he going to be there on Wednesday? Yeah! it’s going to be a field day! I’m not done burning STARDOM to the ground until that company is done!”
