AEW star Kris Statlander spoke with Renee Paquette on Up Close about several topics, including her time as TBS Champion.
Statlander said, “Part of me feels like when I had the TBS title the last time, it was the last time maybe people saw so much worth in me before things started slowly going bad for me after I lost the title. I’m very well aware of that now reflecting on it. Part of me feels like maybe if I have a championship again, TBS title, Women’s Championship, anything, that maybe I’m not a loser anymore and maybe Willow or the Best Friends will see the value in me to hopefully help me reconcile with the wrongs that I’ve done and with them also.”
On wanting to make amends:
“I do want to make amends but sometimes — what have I done, I’ve just lost a lot since then. Again, probably from their perspective, that’s probably what I deserve. In an ideal world, all three of those things will come true but I feel like the first step might be trying to focus on a title or trying to focus on something to prove that I can be better than what I was.”
