AEW releases retrospective video detailing Statlander and Nightingale’s journey from friends to rivals

Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale, once close friends in AEW, are now fierce rivals set to face off in a street fight at the upcoming All Out event. Their friendship soured when Statlander betrayed Nightingale at Double or Nothing, aligning with manager Stokely Hathaway. To provide context for this match, AEW released a lengthy retrospective video on YouTube, showcasing the history of their relationship and eventual falling out.

The video covers various highlights of their time together, including their tag team matches, individual struggles, and key moments that led to their current rivalry. It also features their recent encounter at AEW All In, where Nightingale and Tomohiro Ishii defeated Statlander and Hathaway, allowing Nightingale to choose the street fight stipulation for their upcoming match. The All Out street fight is expected to be a crucial confrontation for both former AEW TBS Champions, as they currently have an even record of two wins each in their previous four singles matches.
