Wrestling Career

Statlander began her professional wrestling journey by training at the Create A Pro Wrestling Academy, based in Hicksville, New York. Under the guidance of Pat Buck, Brian Myers (formerly known as Curt Hawkins in WWE), and other experienced trainers, she honed her skills and prepared herself for the demanding world of wrestling.

Independent Circuit

After completing her training, Statlander made her debut on the independent wrestling circuit in 2017. She competed for various promotions, including Women Superstars Uncensored (WSU), Beyond Wrestling, and Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW). During this time, Statlander gained experience and showcased her unique wrestling style, combining athleticism, acrobatics, and a touch of her alien-inspired persona.

All Elite Wrestling(AEW)

Statlander’s talent and distinctive character caught the attention of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), a newly formed professional wrestling promotion that debuted in 2019. She made her first appearance for AEW on the January 1, 2020 episode of AEW Dynamite, instantly capturing the audience’s attention with her otherworldly persona and impressive in-ring abilities.

Her early matches in AEW showcased her athleticism, agility, and innovative moves, leading fans and critics alike to take notice of her potential. Statlander’s charisma, combined with her unique character, “The Galaxy’s Greatest Alien,” made her stand out from the roster.

Notable Feuds and Matches:
Throughout her time in AEW, Statlander has been involved in several notable feuds and matches. One of her most memorable feuds was with Britt Baker, a prominent competitor in the women’s division. Their rivalry culminated in a match at AEW Revolution 2020, where Statlander faced Baker in a hard-fought battle.

In addition to her feud with Baker, Statlander has also crossed paths with other renowned AEW wrestlers such as Nyla Rose and Hikaru Shida. These matchups provided Statlander with opportunities to showcase her skills against top-level competition, earning her respect from both fans and fellow wrestlers.

Injury and Return

Unfortunately, in June 2020, Statlander suffered a knee injury during a match, which required surgery and a significant amount of rehabilitation. This injury put her on the sidelines for several months, but she remained determined to return to the ring.

After months of hard work and recovery, Statlander made her long-awaited comeback to AEW on the March 10, 2021, episode of AEW Dynamite. Her return was met with enthusiasm from fans who were eager to see her back in action.

During a bout on AEW Dark in August 2022, Statlander sustained a totally torn ACL and lateral meniscus in her right leg. She declared she would require an unknown length of time to recuperate.

After Taya Valkyrie defeated Jade Cargill for the TBS Championship on May 28, 2023, Statlander made a comeback during AEW’s Double or Nothing tournament. She accepted Cargill’s open challenge and won that impromptu bout, ending Cargill’s 60-match winning streak and establishing herself as the new TBS Champion.
