Mercedes Mone wants to see Athena on AEW TV more

After their match in the Owen Hart Foundation tournament, Mercedes Mone wants to see more of Athena on AEW television.

Mone defeated Athena in the semifinals of the tournament last month at the Spring BreakThru edition of Dynamite in Boston. It was a dream match for Mone, who believes Athena is already an all-time great. The former Ember Moon has gotten a chance to shine in ROH with the longest title reign in the history of the promotion, but Mone is hoping that Athena will now be featured in AEW more often.

“That match, it was so f*cking cool,” Mone told Undisputed. “Athena gave me hell. I’ve never experienced anyone like her in the ring.

“Athena has been doing it for so long. I was watching her before I was even signed to WWE. I want to see her on AEW television more. She’s too good not to be seen. She’s explosive — one of the best, innovative wrestlers in the world. She is that f*cking good.”

Athena debuted for AEW in 2022 but has mostly been a star on ROH during her time with the company. She has held the ROH Women’s World Championship for nearly 900 days since winning it in December 2022.

The Mone vs. Athena match was their first time ever wrestling each other one-on-one in either AEW or WWE.

In what is another first-time matchup, Mone will meet Jamie Hayter in the finals of the Owen Hart Foundation tournament at Double or Nothing this Sunday. The winner earns a shot at AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm at All In 2025.

“I’ve never wrestled Jamie. I’m so excited,” Mone said in her interview with Undisputed. “First Athena, now Jamie — the Owen Cup is going to be one of the best tournaments in the world.

“And I’ve never got to wrestle Toni Storm before, except for a little three-way. Wrestling Toni Storm, that’s a match I’ve been waiting to wrestle for a very, very long time.”

Mone is already the TBS Champion in AEW in addition to holding the Undisputed British Women’s Championship for Revolution Pro Wrestling.
