Details Behind Title Change On AEW Double Or Nothing
Added 2023-05-29 02:31:33 +0000 UTCAEW Double Or Nothing saw a shocking title challenge.
Kris Statlander is back, and we have many details around the situation after she won the AEW TBS Championship
Statlander has been planned as the person to take the TBS Title from Jade Cargill for quite some time – dating back at least several weeks, we’ve learned, and there’s more than meets the eye.
Fightful has learned that Jade Cargill is slated to take some time off soon, if not immediately, before returning to the ring with a personality shift down the road.
Statlander has been on the road with AEW often during her recovery and was actually working out in the ring ahead of a recent AEW Dynamite.
Fightful Select had noted recently that there looked to be a “major shift” in the AEW Women’s division and American Women’s Wrestling in general. Between the title changes at Double or Nothing, the return of Statlander, and the injury to Jamie Hayter, it looks to be shaping up. This, in addition to the Asuka-Bianca Belair title change, and Zoey Stark’s big push.

It was a fun moment. My kid was cheering when she came out then lost it when she won.

2023-05-30 12:59:24 +0000 UTCGot to protect Jade if she’s gonna get a world title push I guess. But I think i think it’s symptomatic of these mid title open challenge things. They don’t really work unless its OC. Feuds are always sub par and short or non existent

2023-05-29 05:24:05 +0000 UTCThanks for this - any similar news to what went down with Bianca & Asuka? e.g Was it planned for a while? Long term booking or last minute hotshot booking? etc..

2023-05-29 04:38:27 +0000 UTCStatllander’s return is a WM9-level squash on a weakened Jade Cargill? Not a good look.

2023-05-29 02:42:16 +0000 UTCI just wish Statlander and Jade could have had a good long feud for that belt. I didn't wanna see a Squash after a pay per view match ya know? Love them both just wish the creative and timing was a bit better. Glad she's back.
