Kris Statlander Sends A Message To Mercedes Mone On AEW Collision

Kris Statlander doesn’t think Mercedes Mone can take the AEW Women’s World Title off her.
On the 11/8 edition of AEW Collision, Kris Statlander sent a message to her Full Gear opponent, Mercedes, in a backstage segment.
Statlander says Mercedes lost in the quarter final of the Women’s World Tag Team Title tournament, because she wasn’t focused on her. She further stated that at Full Gear, Mercedes still won’t manage to win the AEW Women’s World Title.
“Mercedes, you have a lot that I will never have. More success, more accolades, more confidence, and more legacy than any woman in wrestling history. But there is one thing… well, maybe two… that I have and you don’t. Focus.
I have complete and total focus on being the AEW Women’s World Champion, and you don’t. If you think this is just some other side piece you can scribble on a cake or have a nameless male bimbo carry behind you, well then, you would be wrong in the most extraordinary of ways.
You were eliminated from the tag tournament because you were not focused on me. And now I will follow you into Blood and Guts, and I will go through whoever I have to until you are focused on me. Then at Full Gear, one year after we fought for the very first time in a completely different world, your focus will be full, your vision will be clear, and it still won’t make a difference.”
The #AEW Women’s World Champion @callmekrisstat didn’t mince words… she says @MercedesVarnado is missing one thing, focus. 🔥
