With her victory tonight, Kris Statlender earned the right to challenge for The Women's Title and will get it on January 1st as she faces Riho.
Should be a great match

Probably should tweak the title to hide the spoiler.

Should be a great match and also both Riho and Kris are undefeated in singles competition which makes it unpredictable.

Riho should drop the belt if she can't be frequently on TV, she's been absent for a month now. Not a great look for a title holder. If she's gonna be available more in the new year though then it'll work out.

If she's gonna be available more in the new year though then it'll work out. I feel like Statlander is a bump on the way to Shida - given that Statlander's rise specifically knocked Shida out of the rankings. Statlander seems like she will get more mileage out of non title feuds, whereas Shida is getting over on pure workrate and could play fighting champion well.

I could see that being the case, especially with Brandi and Kong fixating on her. Kris has stuff set up for if she doesn't get the win here. Shida winning it off of Riho would be interesting since she'd have Kris who has defeated her, and they had her reacting to Big Swole's victory over Emi, plus she had match with her already, so there's some history there, too. I like that Nyla's suspension means she's also someone being presented as a problem that currently the women don't have to worry about, but come 2020, I bet there'll be hell to pay, and they've done a good job foreshadowing that without laying it on too thick.

The Walking Pillow vs. The Lady from Space or Something.
Please get the belt off of Riho. Her and the SCU are just choking their respective divisions for different reasons.

Riho has done absolutely nothing for the womens division and I'm not high on the supposed Alien. The Brandy and Kong stuff intrigues me though, can't wait to see how that plays out.

I’m intrigued by Statlander..... I think she is a character that they can build on.

It could be worse, we couldve gotten a Brandi vs Britt feud .

I’m honestly okay with either winning and expect an awesome match.

Personally, I think that Statlander is one of the brightest prospects in the AEW Women's Division and, honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing her as the champion.
I hope I don't come off as an arsehole...but aren't people being a bit too eager to decide that somebody sucks? Statlander hasn't even been on TV for a full month and she's already getting detractors, which is fair enough, if you don't like her, that's your opinion, but maybe wait and see if she can improve or find her footing before writing her off because she wasn't putting on 5 star matches right out of the gate?

Touching people's nose to communicate or whatever just doesn't do it for me personally. If she gets loses some ( not all ) of the Alien shtick she might be a little more enjoyable to watch in the ring.

I feel some Brandi nonsense going down here. Probably too soon for Statlander to be champ, but also too soon for her to lose. I’m not sure what to make of this Riho reign either though. 🤷🏻♂️

I was keen on Riho versus Nyla, too, in their past encounters. Kris versus Bea is frankly one of the best matches the division has had so far, and I say that as someone who is often iffy on Bea.
