“Only time will tell which champion Mina has her eyes on,” replied Excalibur.
Stokely Hathaway was backstage with Kris Statlander!
Stokely: “Willow Nightingale once again you have surrounded yourself with a bunch of deviants. But that is fitting of you because they are your support system, but they suck ass. You are the farthest thing from street. Excuse me is there a problem?”
Stokely called one of the AEW production staff members over to him.
Stokely: “I saw you shaking your head the entire time. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a Willow fan on the crew. Well guess what, you’ll learn someday.”
Kris Statlander knocked out the staff member with her fist that was wrapped in a steel chain!
