Kris Statlander reflects on her match with Mercedes Mone.
At AEW Full Gear, Statlander unsuccessfully challenged Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship. The match was highly praised by fans, with some noting that it was one of the best women's matches in AEW history. Notably, the match was also the longest women's match in company history, clocking in at 19 minutes and 23 seconds.
While chatting with Interstate 70 Sports Media for a new interview, Statlander reflected on the match, saying that she's proud of the performance that she put on and that she hung in there with one of the best wrestlers in the world.
“Definitely one of my most difficult challenges and obviously I did not walk away with the win, so there’s still a lot to learn from that. I don’t even think necessarily the length of a match has anything to do with how good it is. I think we were able to tell a story and we were able to captivate an audience in a way that I guess people are saying has never been done before. I am just genuinely proud to have been able to put on that performance and I’m proud to have hung in there with one of the best in the world. Hopefully next time it happens, I’m able to come out on top and prove that I am also one of the best in the world.”
