She lost something by cutting the alien stuff, plain and simple, but she's very talented and "carries herself like a star", to use that old standby. Maybe she felt like she needed to do this to be credible, or maybe she felt she'd plateaued with it, but she's unfortunately a bit duller having lost it. I do hope she finds some room for whimsy again.

I like the gimmick of being an alien, but Statlander was not the person to do it. She did not have the charisma and just didn't seem into it. Being a woman who shows off her strength works better.
Also, I want to see somebody else have a go at being an alien.

Kris has had no storylines since winning the belt in the same way OC had no storylines as International Champion for most of his reign. They may transition into her having angles of some kind but she's alluded to being a fighting, workhorse champion like OC, and doing things like beating Jade and Britt on back to back shows does make it feel like they could be doing the same thing. Basically the title reign is the storyline. That's my interpretation anyway.
I spoke about it in the Jade thread but I think they're doing much better with the women lately, the last two main events have been excellent and have had the crowd invested, theyve started getting the women from the main division involved with the TBS Title, they've been moved away from the spot on the card right before the main event where the crowd are ready to take a breather and obviously the Toni stuff has been great. A non title feud between Britt and Shida would be a plus too, been a long time since they had a singles feud like that without a belt involved (a year, I think) and I did worry if Britt might win the TBS Title so that the feud had a belt. Still work to be done obviously but definitely steps in the right direction.

I think she's going for the opposite of OC, instead of laid back and letting things happen she's going high strung and looking for action.

Only one Alien in this wrestling world that has truly worked and he showed up with GAWD DAMN SPACE NUNCHAKUS! On the serious note Statlander is probably better off not trying to be an Alien because AEW was never gonna be able to take it any further than atleast eluding to it.

Hopefully her new gimmick is "person who wrestles weekly" because dammit we need more of her on TV.
