Kris Statlander finally addresses breakup with on-screen partner in AEW
Kris Statlander recently broke up with her on-screen partner in AEW. The former TBS Champion has now given the actual reason for their breakup.
Kris Statlander and Stokely Hathaway formed a partnership several months ago. For a few months, Hathaway managed both Statlander and Willow Nightingale. However, after Statlander betrayed her best friend, Hathaway was in her corner.
This culminated in a match between Willow Nightingale and Kris Statlander at All Out. Statlander wasn't seen for a while after the match, and when she returned, she confirmed that her partnership with Stokely Hathaway had come to en end.
In recent weeks, Statlander has been feuding with Mercedes Mone and even defeated Kamille in a singles match. During a recent interview on Ring the Belle, Statlander was asked the reason behind her breakup with Hathaway. The former TBS Champion replied that they came together due to their mutual goal of taking down Nightingale and, since that was achieved, they had no further objectives. She also said that Hathaway put her title shot on the line and lost it, so she had to let him go.
“We had a common goal in destroying Willow, and I think we accomplished that. But I think we just didn’t have any other goals after that. The goal was to take care of her, and after that, we just kind of decided, you know, the job’s done. It was kind of like a handshake—’you helped me, I helped you, and maybe we’ll see if our paths cross in the future or something.’ Then, you know, he tried to pass a Spanish quiz and put my title shot on the line, the one I rightfully won, without me knowing, and lost it. So, not my fault. I just had to give him the boot for that because how dare you take my opportunities away from me.” [H/T Ringside News]
Kris Statlander was nearly run over on AEW Dynamite

This week on Dynamite, Statlander was interviewed backstage by Renee Paquette. Following the interview, the former TBS Champion was nearly run over by a black car. Kamille was the one driving the car and Mercedes was riding by her side. The TBS Champion was upset with Kamille for missing and ordered her to finish the job.
