Athena: Mercedes Mone Adds Star Power And Confidence To AEW, But I’m Tiers Above The CEO

Athena believes she is the best in the world and rightfully so.

At AEW Dynamite: Big Business, Mercedes Mone (FKA Sasha Banks in the WWE) made her official debut for the promotion and proclaimed that she was going to be doing big business things for them.

During a conversation with Good Karma Wrestling, this is what ROH World Women’s Champion Athena had to say about Mone joining AEW.

“She adds star power. She adds confidence, right? Like I think for so long, like we as a women’s division, especially in AEW, we’re having these great matches and we had stars, right? But we were trying to breach the ceiling of star power and I think Mercedes Mone brings that to the table. From her being in the Mandalorian to her being a multi-time world champion to just the charisma and aura that she brings into every moment that she’s on TV. I really feel like that is what’s going to set this women’s division over the edge in AEW. On top of that, it’s not that she’s doing it by herself. She’s bringing these women up with her, right? Like your Willow, Kris Statlander, Julia, Skye Blue, right? They’re all in the same scene as her. I think that’s really cool that we’re doing that. Now, with that being said, your Minion Overlord is just tiers above her. Tiers above her, like she’s doing great over there, we’re doing the Minion Overlord’s work over here,” Athena said.

Athena successfully defended her championship at AEW Battle of the Belts X against Red Velvet.
