Last week on AEW Dynamite, former TBS Champion Willow issued a challenge to the Toxic Spider, Thekla. But she had never received an answer from her. This week, on AEW Dynamite, Willow was interviewed backstage. During the interview, the former TBS Champion mentioned that she spoke to Tony Khan and revealed that Khan confirmed that the two will wrestle each other on the Thursday Night Special Live telecast of AEW Collision.
“Yeah, I kind of shot my shot, and she just ignored me, and made new friends. Yeah, we all can name shapes Thekla. And I’m the Trapazoid of Grapazoid. And I’m not leaving Chicago without a fight. So, I went over Thekla’s head and I knocked on old TK’s door. And I said, ‘Hey, Tony, what do you think? Tomorrow night. Thursday Collision, our last night here. Let’s do me and Thekla. Something cool.’
“He looked me and said, ‘Damn girl! You want to get all crazy Chi-style?’ [I said] ‘Damn straight, dude.’ Because that is 100% how matches are made here. So, Thekla, it is official. You and I tomorrow night. And we can do whatever you want to do. Upside down, right side up, on the moon, in your web. Doesn’t matter. Because I am going to kick your spider ass and rip off every single one of those eight legs,” Willow said.
Thekla then replied to Willow, stating that she doesn’t hunt for her prey but they come to her, just like how Willow went on to confirm a match between the two.
“A spider doesn’t hunt its prey. A spider spins a beautiful web and waits. And that prey is smiling. And that prey is happy and that prey is skipping along, and before it knows what happened, it’s already too late. Willow, welcome to my web,” Thekla said.
