AEW star Kris Statlander was confident she would take down The CEO
Kris Statlander and Mercedes Mone had intense confrontations during the past few weeks, often ending in beatdowns on each other ahead of their Full Gear contest.
While cutting a passionate promo before the pay-per-view, the challenger vowed to stand tall at the Full Gear but failed to do so.
"Mercedes Mone, she is one of the best. She will do anything that she can to win, and she is most dangerous when she has her back against the wall, which is exactly where it is because everything that she has tried hasn't worked. I am still standing and I am gonna be the one standing tall at Full Gear when I become the new TBS Champion," she said.
It will be interesting to see how Kris Statlander is going to redeem herself after the huge loss.
