Lately, AEW have not been renewing contracts with talent due to one reason or another.
Kris Statlander has turned a corner with her gimmick as of late being more aggressive and now she will replace Hikaru Shida in the the Owen Hart Tournament, facing Red Velvet in the opening round matchup.
While speaking on K & S WrestleFest virtual signing, Kris Statlander talked about AEW not renewing the contracts of the aforementioned stars. Statlander stated that nobody is guaranteed a job in pro wrestling.
“My thoughts on this situation [AEW talents’ contracts not being renewed] is that, you know, life happens. Sometimes, that’s just the way wrestling is. Nobody’s guaranteed a job forever in wrestling or in any position really. It sucks, but you have to learn to not dwell on situations that you don’t have control over and you just make the most of what you can do and keep moving forward.”
