Major star claims "everything went wrong" after Mercedes Moné (fka Sasha Banks) joined AEW

A top AEW star spoke about how "everything went wrong" for her following the debut of Mercedes Mone (fka Sasha Banks) in the promotion. The talent in question is Kris Statlander.

Despite turning on her former friend Willow Nightingale at Double or Nothing earlier this year, Statlander's heel alliance with Stokely Hathaway seemingly concluded after the former TBS Champion defeated The Babe with the Power in a Chicago Street Fight at All Out 2024.

The former Best Friends member was interrupted by Kamille and the current TBS Champion Mercedes Mone during her backstage interview on the October 4, 2024, episode of Rampage. The interaction seemingly teased an imminent rivalry between Statlander and The CEO.

After Mone successfully retained her belt against Emi Sakura this week on Dynamite, The Boss, alongside Kamille, was foiled from launching a post-match assault on the 48-year-old veteran by Statlander. The latter declared her intention of regaining her TBS Championship from Mone and reflected on her recent character arc in a video package that aired on the latest episode of Rampage.

"When you make a change, you need to think where you went wrong or how you got there. For me, everything went wrong when Mercedes Mone showed up. My best friend became obsessed with her. I let Stokely get in my ear and I got led down the wrong path. I didn't know who I was, but I did what I needed to do. And on the five-year anniversary of Dynamite, I was reminded of who I am. I became a born-again Kristen. And I am the biggest, baddest, strongest woman in AEW. I'm coming from Mercedes Mone and her TBS Title."

It remains to be seen whether Kris Statlander will succeed at dethroning Mercedes Mone in the near future in AEW.
