Kris Statlander Rejects Offer To Join Death Riders On AEW Dynamite

Kris Statlander will not be joining the Death Riders, emphatically turning them down on AEW Dynamite. Wednesday’s episode saw Statlander retain the AEW Women’s Championship against Mina Shirakawa in the main event with the seatbelt pin.

After the match, Wheeler Yuta raised her hand as the Death Riders congratulated her after weeks of trying to recruit her. However, Statlander clotheslined Yuta and flipped off Moxley before escaping with Harley Cameron.

Statlander won the Women’s World Championship at AEW All Out.

.@CallMeKrisStat finally does what we've all wanted to do to @WheelerYuta!
