Kris Statlander Is Looking Forward To Travelling To The UK For The First Time For All In

Kris Statlander is looking forward to travelling to the UK later this year with All Elite Wrestling.

In a new interview of Nick Hausman, Statlander commented on the show and noted that it will be her first time going to the United Kingdom when AEW head to London for All In in August.

“I think it’s very, very exciting. One thing that’s very exciting for me, I was like, I really, really hope that my recovery has made good to go before the show because it’s going to be my first time ever going to the UK. I was supposed to go a few years ago, before I got signed with AEW, and then the day I was supposed to fly there, the Thomas Cook Airlines shut down completely. It was such a nightmare and I wasn’t able to go.”

“So it’s really like a full circle moment for me to finally be able to go.I just don’t understand how people see any of this as a negative. Any sort of wrestling having a big show and doing well with it is just a win for the business on all accounts. I think sometimes people take things too seriously when it comes to defending certain things. Either way, what I’m just saying is I think it’s a very exciting thing and I just hope a lot of people are able to see the positive aspects of pulling something like this off.”

Statlander would go on to discuss the possibility of a match at the event with member of The Outcasts, Saraya.

“But yeah, if I get the chance to wrestle Saraya at Wembley, I think that would be an amazing thing. I would love to absolutely do that. That’s a lot of pressure, you know. She’s the hometown hero, but I’m the champion. So it’s like, ‘Oh, no,’ but I think it would be so much fun. I’d be willing to wrestle anybody at that show, but yeah, I never even thought of that as a possibility. I think that would be so so cool, though.”

Statlander looks poised to feud with Taya Valkyrie as her first program as TBS Champion. She has also defended the title twice on Dynamite in the last two weeks.

We will have to wait and see if Kris gets her wish for a match with Saraya at All In this August.
