Kris Statlander Confirms Injury & Reveals She Will Be Undergoing Knee Surgery


-- Updating an earlier news report, AEW's Kris Statlander confirmed her recent injury, actually revealing that she suffered a torn ACL and will be sidelined for "a while" according to her Tweet:

Since the news is out. I told you I’d dive on Kip again and dammit I did. But in doing so, I ended up with a high grade tear in my ACL. Yes I need surgery. Yes I’ll be out of the ring for a while. I’ll do my best to still show up on your TVs as much as I can."

-- The injury occurred on last week’s Dynamite, where Statlander went for a suicide dive on Kip Sabian, who was at ringside, and landed on her knees. Her absence along with Britt Baker also being sidelined puts the AEW Women's division relatively shorthanded for the immediate future.
