Tony Khan has been given 45 days to get rid of one of AEW’s newest signings or else all hell might break loose.

Tony Khan has welcomed several new faces to AEW in recent months, but perhaps none have been more instantly impressive than Thekla.

On the May 28th edition of Dynamite, Jamie Hayter was in a reflective mood when she came to the ring. However, Hayter didn’t have too long to talk before unfamiliar music hit and AEW’s newest star made her presence felt.

The Toxic Spider Thekla laid out Hayter with a vicious punch before posing in the ring. Excalibur noted on commentary that Thekla had been fired with cause from Stardom for striking the promotion’s president.

And it was that firing that held off Thekla receiving the customary “All Elite” graphic to herald her arrival. Tony Khan officially welcomed Thekla with such a graphic, revealing that the manner of her Stardom exit had prompted him to put her on 45-day probation before announcing her signing.

Queen Aminata Sends Tony Khan A Warning

But one AEW star who has had her fair share of the Austrian star is giving Khan another 45 days to get rid of her.

Taking to social media, Queen Aminata told Tony Khan that she was giving him another 45 days to terminate Thekla’s deal:

@TonyKhan I will give you another 45 days before you terminate her contract but violence will continue in the meantime
