Kris Statlander Gives Medical Update Following Women’s Blood & Guts, Addresses Landing On A Bed Of Nails

AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander recently opened up about being at the receiving end of a gruesome spot in the first-ever Women’s Blood & Guts Match last Wednesday.

The inaugural Blood & Guts Match saw Triangle of Madness, Marina Shafir, Megan Bayne, and Mercedes Mone defeat Harley Cameron, Willow Nightingale, Kris Statlander, ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm, Jamie Hayter, and Mina Shirakawa.

At one point during the match, Marina Shafir kicked Kris Statlander onto a bed of nails near the commentary table. In a recent appearance on The Masked Man Show, Statlander revealed that landing on the bed of nails is her lasting memory from the match.

She gave an insight into her thought process after landing on them while also providing an update on his health status in its aftermath.

“I would say, I guess, probably taking the bed of nails (is my lasting memory from Blood & Guts). I don’t have any bandages. I do have a bunch of scabs and cuts and stuff right now that are healing, but I’ve come out pretty okay. Honestly, it was kind of shocking [landing on the bed of nails]. It was just kind of like, ‘Oh, I’m on a bed of nails at this point,’ and I remember I rested my head for a second, and I was like, ‘Well, there’s a nail in the back of my head. Let me pick my head up,’ and then I was like, ‘Oh no, here comes Marina [Shafir],’ and then she walked away, and then I tried to relax for a second again, and then I felt a nail in the back of my head, and I was like, ‘No, what are you doing? There’s a nail in your head right now,'” Kris said.

She continued:

“So it wasn’t the most comfortable thing I’ve ever laid down on. But I remember I saw some people talking about it online, and they were being like, ‘Oh, when the nails are that close together, it doesn’t actually puncture the skin.’ I was like, ‘The nails are not that close together.’ These nails are in my back right now, and that’s why I posted a picture of what my back looked like online because I was like, ‘Yes, there is a physics way to make that happen. If it’s really dense, sure, it won’t puncture you as much.’ But this is not that. Those nails were in my back. They were in my head. I am scarred up right now from it.” [H/T: Fightful]

Statlander is set to defend the AEW Women’s World Title against Mercedes Mone at Full Gear on November 22.
