AEW TBS Champion Kris Statlander recently made an appearance on the Bleav in Pro Wrestling program to talk about a variety of topics such as how you got to do what you got to do to make it into wrestling and that is exactly what ROH Women's World Champion Athena did as it led her to winning gold and Kris Statlander is proud of Athena for that.
Kris Statlander said:
“I mean, you got to do what you got to do, and whatever she did got her some gold. I’m proud of her for that as much as it’s not the same silly person. I mean, she’s still very silly but very intimidating, more so now than ever, and that’s just a very frightening dynamic for a person to have. But you know what, she won gold that way, and good for her for doing that. I’m very proud of her for getting to the top. Even if she had to not be as nice as she once was. We all go through it. I get it.”
Kris Statlander also talked about possibly facing Athena in a one-on-one match down the line.
Kris Statlander said:
“I would hope so. I do hope that we get the chance to eventually face each other. I know it’s kind of a difficult position now with us both being champions of different brands. So it’s hard to make that happen, but I do hope that, at some point down the line, we can test that opponent-rivalry chemistry as well as our friendship.”
