Former WWE wrestler Dakota Kai, now competing under the name Charlie, has shared her thoughts ahead of her upcoming match against an AEW star scheduled for March. After a hiatus from wrestling since March and her release from WWE in May, Charlie is set to make her return at Pro Wrestling’s EVE Wrestle Queendom event. She will face AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander in a match promoted by Will Ospreay.
In a recent Twitch stream, Charlie expressed excitement about wrestling Statlander, calling her a long-time target on her “bucket list.” She said, “Yes, I’m excited to wrestle her. She’s been on my bucket list forever and I’m excited to go to London and hang out with the sassy Nandos. I know, she’s great, I’m excited.”
Statlander claimed the AEW Women’s World Championship by winning a four-way match at the AEW All Out pay-per-view, defeating Toni Storm, Jamie Hayter, and Thekla. Jamie Hayter will also participate in the Wrestle Queendom event, where she will take on Miyu Yamashita.
Fan Take: This matchup is significant for AEW fans as it brings fresh cross-promotional intrigue, showcasing emerging talent like Charlie against a reigning champion like Statlander. It could elevate the women’s division and add exciting new storylines, benefiting the broader wrestling landscape.
