What's the consensus on Kris Statlander? I personally love her wrestling style and think she's absolutely one of the women that will carve out a future in the AEW Women's Division and will go on to multiple title reigns. I think she's gotten better since returning from her injury earlier this spring.

However: I think one of the weak points of the AEW women's division is the lack of strong heels. I think Kris Statlander could step into this role with a repackage. Get her away from the Best Friends, have her leave TV for 90 days or so and come back with a repackage. My idea would have her step more fully into the "alien" role and issue her new ring attire, and face paint or at least some strong makeup. Give her better theme music. Spend the money to give her an entrance with darkness and effects such as they do for Malakai Black and Sting. Give her some pre-taped promos where she's inside some kind of "ship" or an otherworldly environment and use "glitch" and tracking effects and some distortion intermittently, to create the illusion that she's "broadcasting" her promos from "space" and that the signal breaks and "dips" sometimes. She wouldn't do backstage segments or in ring promos. She'd be treated as a kayfabe character.

Anyone else see the need for a repackage? If so, what route would you take?

I think they'd have to try really hard to make "real" alien stuff not seem hokey tbh if they ever go a heel route with Stat I think they'd drop the alien gimmick entirely

As far as what I personally would do, def not turn her heel yet but once whoever beats Britt is champ and they need heel challengers then maybe

I was never a big fan but after her absence, she came back better than ever. She looks like she worked out a lot and she even wrestles with more passion.
