AEW announces major matches for next Dynamite

AEW has added a high-profile bout to next week’s Dynamite. The announcement came during AEW Collision when Hikaru Shida interrupted Kris Statlander’s promo about her TBS Championship Match against Mercedes Moné at AEW Full Gear.

Shida expressed support for Statlander against Moné, stating she hoped “someone beat Moné’s bony ass.” She then requested to be first in line for a title opportunity if Statlander wins. Statlander responded by proposing an immediate bout for Wednesday, which Shida accepted.

Kris Statlander is prepared for Mercedes Moné to try ANYTHING to keep her TBS title next week at #AEWFUllGear!

But somebody else already has their eyes on getting the next shot…

Kris Statlander Explains Why She Ended Partnership With Stokely Hathaway

Recent developments in Statlander’s career include her split from manager Stokely Hathaway. Speaking to Ring the Belle, she explained their partnership ended after achieving their primary goal of defeating Willow.

The separation became definitive after Hathaway risked her CMLL title opportunity without consent. “He tried to pass a Spanish quiz and put my title shot on the line that I rightfully won,” Statlander revealed, emphasizing the unauthorized decision led to losing the opportunity.
