An AEW star has sent a message to Kris Statlander on social media after she refused to join forces with The Death Riders. The drama took place on the most recent episode of Dynamite.
After Kris Statlander became the AEW Women's World Champion at All Out 2025, The Death Riders members are even more interested in adding her to the group than they have been in the past few months. Following her first successful title defense against Mina Shirakawa in the main event of Dynamite, Statlander was confronted by the Jon Moxley-led faction.
Kris finally rejected The Death Riders' offer, as she took out Wheeler Yuta before showing the middle finger to Jon Moxley. Statlander also shared a picture of her showing the middle finger on her Instagram handle after Dynamite. In response, Daniel Garcia, who recently joined forces with the villainous group, replied with a middle finger to The Galaxy's Greatest Alien for her refusal to join the faction.
Nonetheless, Kris Statlander told Daniel Garcia to wipe his tears with Wheeler Yuta's hair in reply to his middle finger emoji comment.
