AEW star Kris Statlander suffered a torn ACL during this past Wednesday’s edition of Dynamite that will require surgery. Statlander tagged with Hikaru Shida in a losing effort against Nyla Rose and Penelope Ford.
Statlander confirmed the news on social media:
“Since the news is out. I told you I’d dive on Kip again and dammit I did. But in doing so, I ended up with a high grade tear in my ACL. Yes I need surgery. Yes I’ll be out of the ring for a while. I’ll do my best to still show up on your TVs as much as I can.”
Footage of the injury can be seen below:
It pays to have friends like @TheKipSabian and @NylaRoseBeast when you're @thePenelopeFord! #AEWDynamite #AEWonTNT pic.twitter.com/vJOY8dmtaW
