Diamante Teases Babyface Turn On AEW Collision, Stays Heel Instead
While Kris Statlander was able to defeat Mercedes Martinez to retain her TBS Championship on this week’s episode of AEW Collision, it appears she now has a new challenger.
Following the match, Martinez attacked Statlander. This led to Diamante coming out to the ringside area to tease making the save. Instead, she remained a heel and attacked Statlander. Willow Nightingale wound up coming out to even the odds.
Statlander’s current TBS Championship reign stands at 67 days.
