There was one time on the independents, I took a power bomb that was supposed to be onto the apron, but the person lost their balance and I kind of went headfirst onto the hardwood floor. That one was very painful, and then I had to do like 15 more minutes of wrestling after that.”
Statlander also confirmed in the interview that she has had zero diagnosed concussions, but admitted that there have been multiple times where she has landed badly on her head.
