From her tweet, it sounds as bad as the injury she had on the other knee that took her out for several months. What horrible luck and timing for Kris. She was just getting going with the big gimmick change and now she's out.

If Statlander's going to be out for awhile then just have Athena beat Jade instead of dragging this interminable reign out even longer. If you protect Jade enough then Statlander also beating her eventually can be a big deal in its own right, maybe could beat her en route to beating Athena.

Emi is the sweetest, seriously. Love that she can do it in a pseudo-kayfabe kind of fashion, too, being nice without it being a betrayal of her character.

Look out for the return of the Bionic Alien when Star joins the 2 knee brace club. Best of luck to her. She deserves to be champ when she gets back

You know what, f*** the slow burn shit, when Kris is ready to return, have her win the TBS title in her first match back regardless of who the champion is then. This girl should've been the face of the divison six months ago.

I feel really bad for Statlander, and I will say, the injuries are showing why Khan might need to pick and choose slow burn storylines. You gotta strike while it's hot and just sometimes waiting for a PPV isn't worth it.
Just have Athena win it I'd say.

I feel like they were hedging their bets for either Athena or Kris to get the match at All Out. And *knocks on wood*, hopefully Athena stays healthy and wins the belt. If she wins and is still champ by the time Kris is ready to get back, they should have a good ol' fashioned "face vs face friends giving it their all in the ring" match for the title.
I don't know if Kris has said anything about the specifics of her knee injury, but seeing her work out on it that soon after the injury is hopefully a good sign. Less post-op muscle atrophy hopefully means less physical therapy, too.

It’s often the simplest moves that cause the most problems ironically.
And yeah just have Athena beat Jade now. Salvage this in SOME way.

So Tony held off too long on making Stat the champion and now she's injured and it's been delayed even longer.
When she returns, he needs to make her champion of either belt immediately. You might even say, stat.

May be in the minority here, but I really really dislike Athena.
I wish Jade had gone over her, and then lost to Stat.

Per WOL the original plan was for Statlander to win the belt at the Grand Slam show since she is from Staten Island

So Jades reign was supposed to end next month, she was going to beat Athena at All Out then drop the title to Kris at GS.
Now they should have Athena win otherwise who is left with momentum? Shida?

It's a great idea and a good plan for the big hometown pop, just... injuries happen I think Athena needs to win now, either that or you need to build someone else up for the Grand Slam show. Maybe Statlander sponsors someone to help them with the crowd? I think Jade's reign has to end in that window regardless.

Athena should win at All Out. I don't know when the next time AEW will be in the DFW region where Athena is from, but the Jade reign's run its course and you shouldn't hold off further delaying it just for a hometown pop.
