Kris Statlander says her ability to play to her strengths while working with Mercedes Mone is why their chemistry and match at AEW Full Gear last month was so good.

In an interview with Comicbook, Statlander spoke on what it's like working with Mone, and the significance of their match at Full Gear.

“I mean, I think we kind of really played to each other’s strengths in a way, and it’s hard to always find someone that you can wrestle that will do that and will compliment that for you," Statlander said. "And I think that’s kind of what made the match so special. That we really showcased who we are against each other. There’s a lot of really great things about that match and I’m so honored to have been the one to put on that performance. But yeah, I think it’s as simple as that.”

Statlander lost her match to Mone at Full Gear. She also lost to Mone at the AEW Worlds End PPV event this weekend. In both instances, the TBS Championship was on the line and successfully defended by Mone.

Statlander is a former TBS Champion and has been a fixture. of the women's division in AEW since it's inception.
