Kris Statlander: Stokely Hathaway Is Not The Type To Deny Being Credited For Something

Kris Statlander says Stokely Hathaway wouldnā€™t turn down getting his flowers.

StatlanderĀ spoke with WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill PritchardĀ ahead of AEW All Out, where she will face Willow Nightingale in a street fight. Statlander will have Big Stoke in her corner, as the pair have continued their working relationship after turning on Nightingale.

Kris StatlanderĀ was asked if there was something she has learned from Stokely Hathaway that he would not want to take credit for. Statlander said Stokely is not one to pass up credit.

ā€œI donā€™t think heā€™s the type of person to deny being credited for something. I think heā€™s very much a, ā€˜Yeah. No. This is me. I did this.ā€™ [type of person],ā€ she explained. ā€œAnd thereā€™s a level of respect to be had with someone who owns up and is not afraid to be like, ā€˜Yeah. No. That was on me. I did that.ā€™ Soā€¦ Not everyone needs to be humble.ā€

Kris Statlander says thereā€™s no backstage uppies

Hathaway and Statlander also have a comedic element to their partnership. This includes Stokely asking for uppies as he gets in the ring.

Statlander was asked how much he asks for the assist. She said it all happens in the ring, and she canā€™t say no to the request.

ā€œYou see them all on TV. Thereā€™s noneā€¦ Thereā€™s no backstage uppies happening,ā€ Statlander said. ā€œWe donā€™t hang out outside of work, so you see them all. Trust me. Itā€™s in front of a crowd. I have to. I have no choice, I canā€™t upset him in front of everyone.ā€

AEW All Out takes place on Saturday, September 7. Watch our full interview with Kris Statlander below:
