While Kris Statlander was able to defeat Mercedes Martinez to retain her TBS Championship on this week’s episode of AEW Collision, it appears she now has a new challenger.
Following the match, Martinez attacked Statlander. This led to Diamante coming out to the ringside area to tease making the save. Instead, she remained a heel and attacked Statlander. Willow Nightingale wound up coming out to even the odds.
Statlander’s current TBS Championship reign stands at 67 days.
