Thekla Pins Kross as Triangle of Madness Tops Moné’s Team

Thekla pinned Lena Kross to win a six-woman match against Mercedes Moné’s team on Wednesday, three days before she challenges Moné for the AEW Women’s World Championship at WrestleDream. Thekla teamed with Julia Hart and Skye Blue, her Triangle of Madness partners, with whom she holds the Artist of STARDOM Championship, against Moné and Divine Dominion’s Megan Bayne and Kross on the three-hour Dynamite and Collision special at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland.

Bayne and Kross spent long stretches in control, double-teaming Blue, before the finish turned on Moné’s title. Thekla pulled the belt out of Moné’s hands and celebrated with it in the ring, and while the referee tried to take it back, Hart sprayed black mist into Kross’s face. Hart and Blue followed with kicks and a suplex, and Thekla stomped Kross and pinned her as Moné watched from the outside.
