Overview
- Athena told local and wrestling outlets that she intends to pursue AEW’s Women’s Championship, the TBS Championship, and AEW tag gold as she expands beyond Ring of Honor.
- She remains the ROH Women’s World Champion with a run of more than 1,300 days and has announced plans to defend that title internationally, citing a pending trip to Paris.
- Athena set a near-term legacy target to exceed Hulk Hogan’s longest world-title reign by Christmas and called that goal her immediate focus.
- She expressed respect for current AEW Women’s Champion Mercedes Moné and said she may wait a short time before mounting a direct challenge, a stance that follows her absence from the recent All In Wembley card.
- What to watch next is Tony Khan’s booking: a move onto AEW’s main roster or staggered cross-promotion could change matchups, create new title shots, and raise Athena’s international profile.
