Tony Khan AEW No Holds Barred fans will see a heated rivalry reach a breaking point when Queen Aminata faces Thekla in a newly announced No Holds Barred match at the upcoming AEW September to Remember event. This change comes after increasing animosity and multiple confrontations between these two competitors in All Elite Wrestling, setting the stage for an intense and unpredictable showdown.
Bitter Enemies Meet in a High-Stakes Clash
The rivalry between Queen Aminata and Thekla has become one of the most intense stories in All Elite Wrestling since Thekla, also called The Toxic Spider, burst onto the scene after Double or Nothing 2025. Making an unforgettable debut by attacking Jamie Hayter, Thekla quickly found herself clashing with Aminata, who has matched her aggression both inside and outside the ring. Over recent months, the two stars have collided in singles, tag team, and larger multi-competitor matches, with their battles often spilling into wild post-match and backstage altercations.
The recent escalation in their conflict prompted Tony Khan to step in, and earlier today he made it official on X (formerly Twitter) that the upcoming bout between Aminata and Thekla would upgrade to a No Holds Barred match, reflecting just how out of control their rivalry has become.
“#SeptemberToRemember Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite No Holds Barred @amisylle vs @toxic_thekla With the violent animosity between Queen Aminata/Thekla, it’s likely to be a chaotic brawl with little emphasis on rope breaks or rules, so I’ve made it No Holds Barred THIS WEDNESDAY!” – wrote Khan.
This move not only raises anticipation for the next episode of AEW Dynamite but also signals Khan’s intent to let the competitors settle their feud without the usual restrictions. Both Queen Aminata and Thekla have something to prove, with each looking to establish dominance as two of the division’s fiercest rivals.
History of Confrontation Between Aminata and Thekla
The upcoming No Holds Barred match is not the first intense encounter for these two athletes. Aminata and Thekla previously collided in a high-stakes singles match at Collision: Summer Blockbuster in June, where Thekla managed to secure victory. Their feud has only escalated since, with neither wrestler backing down and each seeking retribution and supremacy in the women’s division.
Thekla’s Bid for Championship Glory Looms
While preparing for her brutal rematch with Aminata, Thekla is also in the spotlight for another major opportunity. She is scheduled to compete for the AEW Women’s World Title in a four-way match at All Out: Toronto. On the September 6 edition of AEW Collision, Thekla teamed up with Skye Blue, Julia Hart, and Megan Bayne for a high-profile eight-woman tag team match. Although her side was defeated by Toni Storm, Mina Shirakawa, Harley Cameron, and Kris Statlander, the drama continued post-match as Thekla and her Triangle of Madness teammates launched a vicious attack. Their assault was halted by the unexpected return of Jamie Hayter, creating further intrigue for the division.
Following this altercation, The Timeless One issued the challenge for the Women’s World Title, making Thekla, Statlander, and Hayter her targets in the next major championship clash. The outcome of this four-way match could mark a career milestone for Thekla, who is pursuing her first championship gold in All Elite Wrestling.
Anticipation Builds for AEW Fans
With Tony Khan’s latest announcement, the ongoing feud between Queen Aminata and Thekla is set to reach new levels of violence and suspense, perfectly aligning with the promotion’s intense storylines. Fans of Tony Khan AEW No Holds Barred matches will be watching closely as these two determined athletes put everything on the line, not just for personal pride, but to demonstrate their place among wrestling’s elite.
The outcome of this No Holds Barred contest will surely influence the women’s division and could propel the winner into an even greater spotlight, especially as major events like All Out: Toronto draw near. The wrestling world, including figures such as Tony Khan, Jamie Hayter, and Jamie Hayter’s past rivals, will be observing what promises to be a chaotic and emotional affair.
