Kris Statlander, true baller.
At AEW All Out, Statlander faced off with rival Willow Nightingale in a Chicago Street Fight. The match was filled with a ton of insane spots, including one moment where Statlander missed a scissor kick on Nightingale and landed into a pile of thumbtacks while doing a split.
The spot has lived on as one of more gruesome moments from the year, with many fans praising Statlander for going to great lengths to entertain the fans.
While chatting with DS Shin of Ring The Belle for a new interview, Statlander joked that she was happy to create the moment by sacrificing her loin.
“I didn’t feel good about it. It wasn’t what I wanted to happen. It also wasn’t the best plan to be like, ‘Let me go for a scissor kick’, because I was gonna have to land on it in some degree anyway. I wasn’t planning on her moving out of the way. That wasn’t my goal but on the bright side, it got one of the craziest reactions I’ve ever heard and I am happy I was able to create that moment by sacrificing my loin.”
Statlander is set to challenge Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at AEW Full Gear. Check out the updated lineup for the show here.
