There are a multitude of pro wrestling companies and promotions that Athena is open to wrestle for.
Since departing WWE in November 2021, Athena, the former ‘Ember Moon’ has made the rounds on the independent scene and became Warrior Wrestling Women’s Champion, took on Swerve Strickland at Pro Wrestling REVOLVER’s ‘Swerve’s House’ event and she had Mia Yim’s first match in almost two years.
The Asylum Wrestling Store hosted a virtual meet-and-greet with Athena and she was asked several times about her in-ring future and the possibility of appearing for All Elite Wrestling. Athena said if an IMPACT Wrestling, STARDOM or AEW reached out to her, she would take the call and be there.
Here’s the thing about that, right? If I knew [I would be going to AEW], I wouldn’t tell you [Athena laughed]. But, I honestly have no clue to be honest with you. If they came a ringing, if IMPACT came a ringing, heck, if STARDOM came a ringing, I would answer the phone and I would be there in a heartbeat.
She touched on the ‘Ember Moon’ character and explained that she did not know what the character was supposed to be. She thinks there was a point when the character could have been a werewolf and recalled getting gear to match that.
I don’t know what Ember [Moon] was supposed to be, and I think a lot of the times, they were like, ‘Well she’s a witch, she’s a vampire, she’s a werewolf, she’s an assassin in the dark,’ you know? There was so many different ideas being thrown out but like, I remember actually planning a whole werewolf outfit at one point in time and it was like, okay, we got the mask, we got this, we had gear to match and we started putting ratty fur and stuff and something happened and then that got changed to something else, I don’t know but at one point in time, I think ‘Ember’ was supposed to be a werewolf if that gives you any consolidation.
When asked to share her favorite match, she listed two from NXT that included Shayna Baszler and Asuka, but one that sticks out in her mind is a Fatal 4-Way during which she shared the ring with Natalya, Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss on the 6/11/18 episode of Monday Night Raw.
So, probably — it’s kind of a tie [her favorite match] because everyone loves the match with me and Asuka and me and Shayna [Baszler] but my all-time favorite match had to be, I believe it was a Fatal 4-Way with myself, Natalya, Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss and it was on Monday Night Raw and it was probably one of the funnest matches I’ve ever been in and it was chaos and pure fun the entire time.
Later this month, Athena will be back in action for Warrior Wrestling when she goes one-on-one with Janai Kai.
