Heading into Dynamite for May 31, 2023, there was only one official match on the card. That meant the Bookerman of the Year had some booking to do. One addition to the lineup will be Kris Statlander’s first defense of the TBS Championship.
Statlander made quick work of Jade Cargill in a surprise return to win the title at Double or Nothing. Statlander toiled long and hard to recover from a serious injury. Her next opponent will definitely be a test of durability on the surgically repaired knee.
Nyla Rose is coming.
