Watch: Kris Statlander gets into backstage confrontation with male AEW star

Kris Statlander is one of the more popular wrestlers on the AEW roster. It seems she is getting involved in a feud with great potential, in which a team member has turned on his partner and turned heel.

Trent Baretta turned on his partner, Orange Cassidy on the last episode of AEW: Dynamite. Trent and Orange are part of Best Friends, and they locked horns with The Young Bucks in the AEW World Tag Team Championship Tournament semi-final. The intense match saw some high spots until Baretta hit the exposed turnbuckle and was rolled up for the win by Matthew. The Bucks now have a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championship at the pay-per-view Dynasty, later this month.

Best Friends fans were disappointed by the defeat. However, what shocked them was Baretta bringing down Cassidy with a running knee strike, breaking up a potential Best Friends embrace. Best Friends has been a team for around five years, and the move has raised several questions among fans. There will certainly be repercussions, with the original member Chuck Taylor experiencing it all first-hand.

A post-match backstage video shows Trent walking away in a huff while someone in the background asks him the reason for doing what he did. He responds saying he is not talking to them. Soon after, Kris Statlander runs over to Baretta and confronts him asking the same question and he whispers something in her ear before walking off.

"Hey, hey Trent..Trent. What the f**k was that? Thats our best friend, thats your freaking mom! What are you doing?" Statlander asked Baretta.

The stable is one of the most beloved in AEW, with the original partners Trent and Chuck Taylor forming it even before Tony Khan started the Jacksonville-based company. They were active in other wrestling promotions, including NJPW and ROH. In AEW, other wrestlers, including Kris Statlander, Danhausen, and Wheeler Yuta have aligned with Best Friends.

Kris Statlander reveals her hate for a male AEW star

The former TBS Champion has revealed her hate for AEW star Serpentico, who's more active on the ROH roster. Serpentico is also very active X. Recently, the high-flyer reacted to a post by John Silver, and Serpentico took the opportunity to diss Statlander.

The Galaxy's Greatest Alien posted about her dislike for Serpentico in playful banter and ordered Nyla Rose, another female AEW wrestler to "get him".

Serpentico is most commonly used as an enhancement talent and has had several dark matches on AEW. It remains to be seen what's in store for Kris Statlander in AEW, now that the team she's a part of, seemingly has one less member.
