AEW star Kris Statlander spoke with ComicBook.com on a number of topics, including her Full Gear match with Mercedes Monรฉ.
Statlander said, โI mean, I think we kind of really played to each otherโs strengths in a way, and itโs hard to always find someone that you can wrestle that will do that and will compliment that for you. And I think thatโs kind of what made the match so special, is that we really showcased who we are against each other. Thereโs a lot of really great things about that match and Iโm so honored to have been the one to put on that performance. But yeah, I think itโs as simple as that.โ
On her dream scenario for AEW All In: Texas:
โOh, a type of match. I would probably do some sort of like street fight hardcore thing because thereโs just so much more fun things that you can do where thereโs extra weapons involved. I guess even making it, screw it, make it a Blood and Guts type deal. I could not pick opponents because thereโs so many girls that, you know, bring it when we do hardcore stuff. That would probably be dream scenario. And for a band, I donโt want to say because there may potentially be something in the works with a band Iโm very fond of in the future. Smaller band, but one of my favorites and I donโt want to spoil it in case it comes true.โ
On a potential AEW Womenโs Continental Classic tournament:
โWhy would I not want more opportunities as a woman on the womenโs roster? I would love anything, anything really. The Continental Classic is something, we have something we havenโt had before. We havenโt had a Battle Royal in quite a long time. More tournaments, more Gauntlets, anything. Anytime the women get a chance to really step up and show out, we always exceed expectations, and I just want to be a part of everything that you could possibly be a part of.โ
