AEW star Athena has set her sights on the arrival of Mercedes Mone, hoping for a dream match at AEW Dynamite: Big Business.
Tony Khan’s recent big announcement was for AEW Dynamite: Big Business on March 13, 2024, widely expected to feature the debut of Mone, the former Sasha Banks in WWE.
Athena, formerly WWE’s Ember Moon, may have shared the ring with Mone during their time in WWE, but a one-on-one remains a dream match.
Speaking on Saturday Night’s Main Event podcast, the ROH Women’s Champion said:
“When it comes to Big Business, I am immensely curious, as you all are, because that is the most closed-lip thing in this entire locker room.
“If what I think is going to happen, and what we all think…we’re hoping. I might finally get one of my dream matches.
“That is one of the coolest things because I’ve shared the ring with this person for many times, and whether we were on the same tag team at live events in WWE, to us getting to briefly touch at Money in the Bank, to us briefly touching in this awesome fatal four-way we had on Raw, I just wish the world for this person because she is someone that I think is one of the absolute best wrestlers in the world.
“Though I love to be immensely humble about myself, because I do have those self-esteem issues, I would love to see what I could really stack up against this person if she does come here.
“I would like to see if I am better than her. I would like to see what we could create because I’m a firm believer of, when you have two dedicated women to the cause, it’s going to be money and it’s going to be magic.
“This woman has had some of the best matches in women’s wrestling history. I just have to (have a match). I don’t care if I have to go to Japan for it. I just have to get it one time.”
Athena is a former NXT Women’s Champion and NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion.
She was released in November 2021 and made her first appearance in AEW at the May 2022 Double or Nothing.
Mone is also a former NXT Women’s Champion and also held the WWE Raw & Smackdown Women’s Championship, along with the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship on three separate occasions.
