AEW Women’s Champion Kris Statlander was a recent guest on the “Bleav in Pro Wrestling” podcast to discuss Athena’s recent move to Ring of Honor and her heel turn.
Prior to Athena turning heel, she was aligned with Statlander before the latter was taken off television due to an injury.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Athena’s change in attitude: “I mean, you got to do what you got to do, and whatever she did got her some gold. I’m proud of her for that as much as it’s not the same silly person. I mean, she’s still very silly but very intimidating, more so now than ever, and that’s just a very frightening dynamic for a person to have. But you know what, she won gold that way, and good for her for doing that. I’m very proud of her for getting to the top. Even if she had to not be as nice as she once was. We all go through it. I get it.”
On a possible match with Athena: “I would hope so. I do hope that we get the chance to eventually face each other. I know it’s kind of a difficult position now with us both being champions of different brands. So it’s hard to make that happen, but I do hope that, at some point down the line, we can test that opponent-rivalry chemistry as well as our friendship.”
