Kris Statlander Reflects On Winning AEW Women’s World Title At All Out

Kris Statlander comments on winning the AEW Women’s World Title.

After waiting for years for another shot at the gold, Kris Statlander won the AEW Women’s World Championship at AEW All Out 2025. She defeated Jamie Hayter, Toni Storm, and Thekla to win the gold. Now, she gets to reflect on what it means for her.

Speaking at the media scrum following the event, Statlander told Derrick T. Lewis of the Bleav Network that while the journey had been a roller coaster for her, to be where she is right now means more than she could have imagined.

“It’s been a very up-and-down journey for me. I feel like there were so many opportunities where maybe I had the chance to be the first early on, but I was derailed by my knee injury. I thought, ‘Oh, maybe I’ll come back and be the first person to do this.’ Then, I get injured and time passes by, and other people step up and take that position. It’s very much been, not hurtful, but disheartening, having to be like, ‘Something out of my control stopped me from having that historic moment.’ To now finally have something to my name, ‘I’m the first ever to do this’ it makes all those injuries, all those hard times, all the ups and downs so worth it. I worked unbelievably hard to be in this position that I’m in today. To have that title means more than I could imagine. Wrestling is insane.”
