News regarding Kris Statlander being out of action due to an injury
During the August 10th 2022 edition of AEW Dynamite, it was announced that Kris Statlander has been injured and Toni Storm is now the #1 contender for the AEW women’s title. According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, Statlander was backstage at the event but was on crutches and it’s believed that she suffered a bad knee injury. It’s unknown how long Statlander will be out of action but Johnson did write the following regarding her situation…
“The fear, obviously, is that she will require surgery. We are told this knee injury is not the same knee that previously required surgery and rehab.”
Johnson also noted that the company was reportedly planning a major push for Statlander.
Statlander issued the following statement via Twitter…
”Welp. One knee fixed, one to go. After the first knee injury I came back stronger and better than ever so it’s all over for you all when I come back from this one. I’m sorry to let you all done once again. I’ll be back bigger, more powerful, and more than a woman.”
Welp. One knee fixed, one to go. After the first knee injury I came back stronger and better than ever so it’s all over for you all when I come back from this one. I’m sorry to let you all done once again. I’ll be back bigger, more powerful, and more than a woman.
