#4. AEW star Kris Statlander is looking to make it big in the company

At All Out 2021, Kris Statlander challenged and failed to win against Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. for the AEW Women’s Championship. But has continued to impress fans with her in-ring work in the company.

Statlander was signed by AEW in December 2019 - a month after she competed in her first match for the promotion and has quite a bit of success. What many fans may not know is that Statlander once competed, unsuccessful, in WWE.

She teamed up with Karissa Rivera to challenge Billie Kay and Peyton Royce (The IIconics) for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships in April 2019.
