Absent AEW Star Reacts to Kris Statlander’s Shocking Title Win

Published:

Kris Statlander captured the AEW Women’s World Championship in a surprising victory at the All Out 2025 event, marking a historic moment for the wrestler and the promotion. This win stands out not only as Statlander’s first Women’s World title but also as a milestone, making her the first woman in AEW history to hold both the World and TBS championships. The dramatic outcomes at All Out have drawn reactions from prominent AEW figures, including the currently absent Nyla Rose.

Kris Statlander’s Stunning Victory at All Out 2025

The Women’s World Championship match at All Out featured a high-stakes four-way contest with Toni Storm defending her title against Thekla, Jamie Hayter, and Kris Statlander. The match was one of the event’s most anticipated bouts, with the reigning champion Storm aiming to retain against three formidable challengers. However, it was Statlander who upended expectations by winning the title for the first time, securing a landmark achievement in her career.

Known as the “Galaxy’s Greatest Alien,” Statlander’s triumph was particularly notable given that she also held the TBS Championship prior to this win. By claiming the Women’s World Championship, she became the first woman in AEW to hold both prestigious titles, highlighting her rapid rise within the promotion’s competitive landscape.

Nyla Rose Acknowledges Statlander’s Achievement Despite Absence

Nyla Rose, a key AEW star who has not appeared on recent programming, expressed support for Statlander’s win through social media shortly after the event. AEW posted a highlight clip of Statlander’s victory on X (formerly Twitter), prompting Rose—known as the “Native Beast”—to respond with a popular congratulatory GIF. This public acknowledgment demonstrated Rose’s recognition of Statlander’s accomplishment despite her current distance from AEW storylines.

Mercedes Mone Signals Intent to Challenge for the Title

Mercedes Mone, the current TBS Champion and AEW CEO figure within the storylines, also reacted to Statlander’s championship success. After defending her TBS title against Riho at All Out, Mone responded on social media to AEW’s video of Statlander’s win using an eye emoji. This gesture suggested Mone’s intention to pursue Statlander’s Women’s World title in the near future.

Mone’s previous challenge for the Women’s World Championship occurred at the All In: Texas event in July, where she suffered her only singles defeat in AEW so far. The possibility of Mone stepping up as the immediate challenger introduces compelling potential for fresh rivalries and matches in the division.

Implications for AEW’s Women’s Division and Future Storylines

Statlander’s victory represents a crucial turning point in AEW’s women’s division, raising the stakes for upcoming matches and rivalries. Her achievement of holding both the World and TBS titles positions her as a dominant figure poised for high-profile defenses and challenges. The response from Nyla Rose and Mercedes Mone indicates a focus on strengthening competition around Statlander’s reign.

With Tony Khan’s creative direction under close watch, fans are eager to see whether Mone or other contenders will immediately step forward to challenge Statlander, maintaining momentum in the division and elevating the women’s championship scene. Statlander’s win at All Out could fuel a wave of intense competition that energizes AEW fans and performers alike.
