Kris Statlander breaks silence after Tony Khan makes a huge AEW announcement 

Kris Statlander had a game-changing night at the AEW All Out 2025, as she ascended to the top of the women's division. With CEO and President Tony Khan making a huge announcement regarding her immediate future, Statlander herself had a few words to say.

The rising talent of the All Elite landscape has been a part of the promotion since the very beginning, back in 2019. However, it took her six years to break the glass ceiling and win the top championship in the company. It came at the recent All Out 2025 event, when she dethroned Toni Storm in a four-way match to win her first AEW Women's World Championship.

This made her the first woman in All Elite Wrestling to win both Women's titles in the company. Furthermore, Tony Khan wasted no time in announcing her first challenger. The Jacksonville-based promotion's head honcho revealed that Kris Statlander would defend her title against Mina Shirakawa on the upcoming edition of Dynamite.

The reigning champion wasted no time in breaking her silence. She took to her Instagram to drop photos with her title while boasting confidence heading into the match against Toni Storm's ally.

"Stat Daddy ready to defend and conquer this Wednesday on #aewdynamite💥."
