TheKla’s next move could be even bigger than expected. WWE may be lined up first to sign her.
The Austrian star officially concludes his run with Stardom, leaving Japan behind. After making a major overseas name for herself, TheKla hired a professional representative to guide her next step, and now we are in custody. Sources say some American promotions have already shown interest in her, but WWE may have the strongest shot.
I’ll talk to you Wrestling Observer RadioDave Meltzer confirmed WWE’s long-standing interest. “WWE has been following her for years and years.” Meltzer said WWE also explained that he had previously tried to sign another top Japanese star. “They tried to get Iyo, Kairi and Mayu Iwatani years ago.” Meltzer also pointed out that Iyo Sky’s recent success in WWE may have overturned the scale. “Iyo was doing very well and probably encouraged her to go.”
The Kla exit from Stardom was a surprise to many fans as she was part of the promotional international roster. Now, time in Japan has passed, she is making clear that she is ready for the next major chapter of her career. And that seems to be what the US calls it.
This is not the first time Thekla has hinted at a move to the US. She spoke in November 2024 Grapsody’s Reg of Justice and Phil Lindsay immediately teased a trip to the US.
“Of course, yeah. I don’t know why I’m not there yet.” She said when asked about wrestling in the US. “I didn’t play a single match in America and I’ve been to America many times. I lived in America as a teenager, so it’s not easy to do anything there.” thekla has been added “There are a lot of girls and women across all the companies who want to wrestletter in America. So wait a little longer. I think something is coming. I don’t want to say it anymore. There are many opportunities. I’m already looking at someone else. But who knows?
As WWE is updating its international talent and push for a new signing to TheKLA, it may be only a matter of time before she appears under the WWE banner.
