Kris Statlander comments on her split with Stokely Hathaway.
Over the course of the past year, Kris Statlander and Stokely Hathaway had been paired up as allies, briefly also being allies with Willow Nightingale. However, that relationship would turn sour, leading to a lengthy rivalry between Nightingale and Statlander. Recently, Stokely and Kris would split as an act, and a billing statement was posted to explain the breakup.
While speaking to Ring The Belle in a recent interview, Statlander spoke at length about the split, noting that the pair became allies to take down Willow.
“I mean, well, for the most part, the billing statement was kind of the big, that’s mostly what happened. We had a common goal in destroying Willow and I think we accomplished that. I think we just didn’t have any sort of, we didn’t have any goals after that. The goal was to take care of her. After that, I think we just kind of decided, you know what, the job is done. It’s kind of like a handshake, you helped me, I helped you, we’ll see if our paths cross again in the future or something. Then, he tried to pass a Spanish quiz and put my [CMLL] title shot on the line that I rightfully won. He put that on the line without me knowing, lost it. So, not my fault.”
