She reflected on the bout against Statlander.
AEW’s 2024 All Out pay-per-view took place in September. One of the matches on the bill was a Chicago Street Fight that saw Kris Statlander clash with Willow Nightingale.
The match before the Street Fight was Will Ospreay versus PAC for the International Championship. While Nightingale was on the Battleground Podcast, she spoke about following the International Title match.
She does not want to say they one-upped Ospreay versus PAC, but feels herself and Statlander made the crowd care about their bout.
I had that Street Fight (at AEW All Out) with (Kris) Statlander and you look at the lineup and you see PAC versus Will Ospreay and then you think to yourself, I have to go after that, before you even see that match, right? You hear it and you’re like, oh, that’s gonna be good. But then you see it unfold in front of you and the people are going nuts and you’re standing backstage, you’re stretching, you’re getting ready, you’re getting yourself like, I’m gonna kick this girl’s butt and then you hear the crowd out there going, ‘Ahhh!!!’ And you’re like, I gotta make these people care about me kicking this girl’s butt. I don’t wanna say we one-upped them or anything but I think we really made people care and that is something that’s so special about AEW is every single match, match after match, doesn’t matter who’s in front of you. You’re gonna go out there and leave it all out…
Statlander is currently engaged in a program with TBS Champion Mercedes Moné. She was ambushed by Moné on the 10/30 Dynamite.
The latest on Nightingale is that she is out of action after suffering a concussion at a CMLL show.
