A month after Britt Baker suffered an injury, another one of AEW’s top talents have been put on the shelf. Kris Statlander tore her ACL during her tag match with Hikaru Shida on Wednesday.
PWInsider made the initial report earlier today, believing that Statlander’s injury took place when she dove onto Kip Sabian. She later confirmed this with a recent tweet.

It’s still unknown how long Statlander will be out of action. However, with surgery a necessity, this injury could very well keep her out through the rest of 2020.
