There’s strength in numbers in AEW, as one star has found out after some surprising friends helped them to victory on Dynamite.

All Elite Wrestling has been a land of factions since the company’s inception. The Elite, Inner Circle, House of Black, The Patriarchy, The Paragon, Best Friends, The Conglomeration, Dark Order, the Nightmare Family, and the Death Riders are just some of the groups that have made their mark in the company to varying degrees of success.

Now it looks like it’s time for the women in the company to form a group after newcomer Thekla got some help on the July 16th edition of AEW Dynamite.

Thekla Joins AEW Faction

Thekla has made a splash in AEW since debuting earlier in the summer of 2025 and found an almost immediate rival in Queen Aminata. Both women were part of a $100,000 four-way match on Dynamite also involving Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale.

During that match, Skye Blue and Julia Hart made their presence felt with Blue distracting the referee, which allowed Hart to spit poison mist in Aminata’s face. Thekla then picked up the win and the $100,000 that went with it. After the match, all three women posed together, indicating that they will be working as a unit moving forward.
