AEW Women’s Title Match Changed, New Match Announced

AEW announced that “due to prior commitments,” Kris Statlander will not wrestle in her scheduled AEW Women’s World Championship match against title-holder Riho this Wednesday on Dynamite.

Instead, Riho will defend the title in a four way match against Nyla Rose, Britt Baker and Hikaru Shida.

The winner of that match will then defend against Kris Statlander on the January 8 episode of Dynamite in Southaven, MS.

However, we are excited to announce that Kris Statlander will face the winner at the #AEW Anniversary edition of Dynamite Wednesday, Jan 8th in Southaven, MS. Tickets for both shows can be found at https://t.co/5WsWwyDkwZ

Rather than force Kris to choose between her title shot or keeping her word on a commitment she made before signing here, we’re allowing her to do both. The champion Riho will defend vs. #2 Britt/#3 Shida/#4 Nyla in a 4 way title match. The winner defends vs. #1 Kris on January 8

Kris Statlander was booked for the Bar Wrestling New Years day show prior to signing with AEW. From what I'm told Bar was completely OK with her missing their show but Kris wanted to keep her word. Says a lot about her as a person. Credit to AEW for putting wrestlers first too. https://t.co/uE2vIikIiR
