Mina Shirakawa jokes about learning new English words from AEW Women’s World Champion Thekla.
After AEW Dynamite: Beach Break, Shirakawa took to X to joke that she had expanded her English vocabulary thanks to Thekla’s commentary during the Women’s Casino Gauntlet Match.
“What I learned in English today, courtesy of Thekla: Blow-up doll, Motorboating,” Shirakawa posted.
Thekla was on commentary throughout the Women’s Casino Gauntlet and didn’t hold back. At one point, she compared wrestling Shirakawa to wrestling a “blow-up doll” and also let a few expletives slip during the commercial break. While discussing casinos, Thekla made another memorable remark, saying, “The last time I went to a casino I won 10K and ended up with a stripper on my lap. It was great.”
Shirakawa was one of several competitors in the Casino Gauntlet but came up short. The match marked the return of Willow Nightingale, who outlasted the field to earn a future shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship.
Following the match, Thekla attacked Nightingale to send a message ahead of their title match at AEW Redemption later this month. However, Mercedes Moné interrupted the assault before laying out both Thekla and Nightingale, further escalating the tensions in AEW’s women’s division.
