Major AEW star refuses to join Death Riders; but there is a twist

One of AEW's most popular names from its women's division once again turned down an offer to join The Death Riders. Her refusal, however, brought the star in question - Kris Statlander - face to face with the leader of the group, All Elite World Champion Jon Moxley himself.

Born Again Kristen has not been in action since she defeated her former friend Willow Nightingale last month, with an unexpected assist from The Death Riders. Although her attempts to earn back the former TBS Champion's trust and friendship did not pan out, she did cross paths with her old Best Friends stable-mate Wheeler Yuta earlier this month, who seemingly tried to offer Stat a place in the Jon Moxley-led faction.

Even though she turned down the offer at Summer Blockbuster, Yuta approached Statlander once again this week at AEW Collision, interrupting the 29-year-old's rant against Nightingale and her comments regarding her recent in-ring absence. Once again, Kris turned Wheeler down, and even physically shoved him away, but as she turned to leave she ran into AEW World Champion Jon Moxley himself.

The One True King shared a few words of advice with Statlander, urging her to not let others determine her worth.

Although Statlander did not respond to Mox, it is possible that his remarks could change her mind with respect to joining the ranks of The Death Riders.
