Kris Statlander: People May Hate Orange Cassidy, But I’ll Always Adore Him As A Person, I Owe Him So Much

Kris Statlander reflects on Freshly Squeezed.

When they were part of the Best Friends, Kris Statlander, alongside Orange Cassidy, Trent Barretta, and Chuck Taylor battled everyone who stood in their way of making it to the top for the greater good.

However, Statlander and Trent turned their backs on OC this past year, and despite that, Statlander has regrets and says she owes a lot to Cassidy for how much he has done for her since they both arrived in AEW.

“I will forever, when you asked me before [about] people that inspire me, I owe so much to Orange Cassidy. I know it’s not great for me to say that after I kind of turned on him and I punched him in the face, but I have a lot of regrets for doing that. He’s someone that so many people rely on. People may hate him, but I will always adore him as a person, as a wrestler. My experience with wrestling would be nowhere near as great as it was if Orange Cassidy wasn’t part of it,”  – Statlander said to Good Karma Wrestling.

Statlander recently defeated Kamille on the Halloween Eve edition of AEW Dynamite to bring herself one more step closer to challenging Mercedes Mone for the AEW TBS Championship.
