Athena recalls pitching Minion Graduation.
On the November 30, 2023 episode of ROH on HonorClub, Athena held a minion graduation for Billie Starkz and Lexy Nair. The graduation was supposed to celebrate the success of Lexy and Billie after the grueling minion in training sessions.
In the end, Lexy graduated, and Starkz was left upset, attacking Athena to set up their match at ROH Final Battle.
Speaking to Lyric Swinton on Sunday Night's Main Event, Athena recalled pitching the segment to Tony Khan.
"None of this would happen without TK. It was really awesome to be able to be given the ball and the faith is given to me each and every week when I go to work. Tony and I work hand in hand with creating minion stuff. I remember telling him, 'We need a minion graduation.' He's like, 'I'm sorry, what?' I go, 'Yeah, we need a minion graduation.' He's like, 'Tell me how this is going to go. I am immensely intrigued.' He loved the idea. I had my first promo in a very long time out there. I remember sweating. I was like, 'I've been doing one takes backstage. I got this in the bag.' It's just an honor to be me," she said about her run in Ring of Honor.
Athena has been ROH Women's Champion for over a year and has taken to calling herself the forever champion.
