Stokely Hathaway is in his element as a heel and he welcomes any creative type of heat he’s getting online after turning on Willow Nightingale.
Hathaway and Kris Statlander got sick of supporting Willow Nightingale, especially after she lost the TBS Women’s Championship to Mercedes Mone in one of the three main event matches of AEW Double or Nothing. Nightingale was super over as a babyface while Mone is finally easing into her heel identity and so will Stokely and Statlander.
AEW has advertised that we’ll hear more from Hathaway and Statlander on the forthcoming Dynamite, but Stokely heard quite a bit from fans after he and Statlander did Willow dirty at Double or Nothing.
Stokely took to X to share screenshots of some of the creative negative comments he’s gotten so far, including:
“I hope you got diarrhea for a month you f***ing traitor.”
“Count your days Milk Dud.”
“I know Darby used your head and a magnifying glass to light the flame-thrower.”
Also, some fans kept it simple with “F*** you, man,” “You b****,” and “Big Stoke, more like B**** Stoke.” He also added another one in the replies that said “I hope you done like Darby and hit by a bus.”

This prompted Stokely to take a dig a Darby stating, “Also Darby looks like a dumbass. If I was a MTA bus driver, I’d hit him too. FOH,”
Also Darby looks like a dumbass. If I was a MTA bus driver, I’d hit him too. foh.

Mone is feeling great after winning the TBS Championship in her first AEW match and her first bout in over a year.
“Words can’t describe this feeling. It’s good to be back. And it’s really good to be a champion.”
