Speaking to Dallas News ahead of tonight’s Dynamite in Allen, Texas, ROH Women’s champion Athena, who is from the area, told the outlet that she would like to eventually move from ROH to AEW proper.

Athena has been champion for a whopping 1,362 days and counting, and said that she’s given “the world” to Ring of Honor and years of her career to be the “forever” champ.

“I’ve given so much to be the longest reigning champion in the modern day era, the most violent champion of the era,” she said. “But when it comes to me, I want to do more with AEW. So this means more.”

Athena does occasionally wrestle on AEW television, mostly on Collision, but she works more for the ROH promotion. Her involvement there kinda limited her work in AEW.

“I want to be AEW women’s champion. I want to be AEW TBS champion. I want to be an AEW tag champion to show the world that everything that I’ve done, holding a whole company on my back, climbing to the top of the mountain with it, was all worth it,” she continued.

AEW holds a double Dynamite and Collision tapings tonight.

Athena has been with the company since 2022 following a six-year stint in WWE as Ember Moon.
