Kris Statlander out with knee injury

[markymark]

Is the women division cursed or something?

Wishing Kris the best of recovery. 

[A Platypus Rave]

What makes this worse is she's gotta find a doctor that's comfortable working on space aliens >_>

[Steveweiser]

Kris Statlander injured her knee on a dive during Wednesday's tag team match on Dynamite - it's a high grade ACL tear, and she's going to be out for quite a while, perhaps six months.

This leaves AEW at the moment with just Big Swole behind Hikaru Shida in the female babyface depth chart, I think they'll have to look to make signings wherever possible.

Crap...

[Cyno]

OOF. She's going to be out for quite some time. ACL tears are no joke.

[sfvega]

Does anyone even know how long it takes an alien to recover from an ACL tear? Did anyone even know aliens had ACLs?

[Mozenrath]

That sucks. She's pretty young, so I am optimistic about her recovery process, but that's a pain, for sure.

I am guessing we're going to be seeing that much more of Big Swole to fill in the empty face spot, but I wonder if someone else gets bumped up, too.

[Zone Was Wrong]

.... Damnit! Finally get Kris back from isolation

Hopefully she takes it easy. She'll come back better than ever. Maybe this'll get them to sign Kelly and Abadon. Possibly get Anna Jay and Allie in the ring as well.

[Facetious]

Goddammit that sucks. Big loss for the division

[chrom]

That's the last thing the division needs right now.

She's young and has a very high ceiling but that really sucks especially coupled with Britt's injury

They can't wait to sign girls anymore. Get Abadon, Diamante, and Priscilla, and get them as soon as you can...

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Big blow. ACL tears are no joke so a good chance won't see her again until next year

Add that to Britt injury as well and you lost two of your top five women in the company for a few months with Britt probably not back until end of Summer

[Malibu Albino]

Jeez these women's tag team matches are becoming snake bitten. They should probably sign some new women if they have the opportunity.

This might be why Christi Jaynes got a win recently, they mighta signed her under the radar. They need to do the same with some others as I mentioned above.

Their roster has more depth than it looks right now, but there is no end in sight for the UK/Japan travel bans as far as I've seen which means Priestley, Yuka, Riho, Shanna, among others simply can't be on the shows and that sucks. But AEW has to adapt and they have to do it soon. 

[Zone Was Wrong]

Maybe once the 90 days are up they pick up Sarah Logan as well.

[Cyno]

If she's interested in signing, now would be a good time to bring in Priscilla Kelly.

Well make that 3 of their top women because I forgot Riho can't travel

Right now they got Shida and Nyla as their top stars with Swole a distant 3rd behind them and then you got others like Penelope way behind her. They got to fill what they lost at the top of the card with only one person really close to the level of doing it. Got to make the best of a situation where they are behind

It is going to be up to Kenny to get these women more wrestling time and more focus because they need it.

Logan's way better than what WWE was doing with her so that'd be cool, but there's like a month to go on those, they need signings like... the next time they're live, to debut.

[Deleted]

That is unfortunate for her and ACL injuries are no f***ing joke and like tear anything else it needs time to heal properly or it could be even longer and worse for her.

Anyways AEW's women division is snake bitten and with such strong divisions such as Impacts and WWE's those probably look alot more appealing with the talent amassed between both so that IMO isn't making this any easier for AEW to get any momentum going with it.

I would have said they should have picked up Kelly Klien already but I forget that whatshisname works for them I think.

She seems to be. I think her main thing was wanting opportunities to wrestle in a bunch of places, but she enjoyed her AEW work. Also, would probably enjoy the work schedule, given Darby's is MUCH easier than hers.

Still, she just turned 23 on the 5th, so I imagine that plays into it, too, her taking her time.
