Taro Okada condemns AEW champion after logo-spitting segment
Summary
– Thekla angered STARDOM officials after spitting on the company’s logo during AEW Dynamite
– STARDOM President Taro Okada called the act vulgar, cowardly, shameful, and unforgivable
– The segment added more tension before Forbidden Door with AEW, STARDOM, CMLL, and NJPW involved
Thekla created one of the most heated moments on AEW Dynamite after taking direct aim at STARDOM.
During the June 3 episode, the AEW Women’s Champion shifted her focus toward Forbidden Door. The event will bring together talent from AEW, STARDOM, CMLL, and NJPW, giving Thekla a major platform to send a message.
She reminded fans of her STARDOM past, where she was known as The Idol Killer. Thekla said she earned that name by taking out fan favorites, and she made it clear that her issue with the company was far from finished.
The segment became more controversial when Thekla climbed a ladder near the big screen. She then spat on the STARDOM logo, turning the promo into a much sharper insult toward her former promotion.
AEW commentary apologized after the moment aired, but the response quickly moved beyond the broadcast. STARDOM President Taro Okada reacted on social media, making his anger clear.
Okada called Thekla’s actions vulgar, cowardly, shameful, and unforgivable. His response showed that STARDOM was not treating the moment as simple pre-show hype.
The timing matters because Forbidden Door is being built as a major crossover event. STARDOM’s presence adds another international layer to AEW, and Thekla’s actions immediately added real tension to that partnership.
Thekla wanted attention, and she got it. The bigger question now is whether STARDOM answers her directly once Forbidden Door gets closer.
