Kris Statlander shares what she’s thankful for.

All Elite Wrestling‘s Kris Statlander recently sat down with WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard. In honor of Thanksgiving, Statlander was asked what she’s most thankful for.

“I am thankful for all the issues and the troubles and everything that didn’t go my way in my life. That made me a better person and got me to the point that I’m at today,” Statlander said.

“I don’t think I would’ve been half the champion that I am had I not gone through things like both my knee injuries,” she added. “I don’t think I’d be half the wrestler I am if it wasn’t for joining Best Friends. Yeah, there’s a lot of things that I’m thankful for.”

Statlander also spoke about what Orange Cassidy’s reign as AEW All-Atlantic Champion has taught her. Read more here or check out the full interview below:
