Athena is All Elite!
On May 29 at AEW Double or Nothing, Jade Cargill defeated Anna Jay to retain the TBS Championship. She was aided by the appearance of Stokely Hathaway (Malcolm Bivens in WWE), which distracted Anna Jay. After the match, Jade and The Baddies were going to continue attacking Anna but were stopped by Kris Statlander. Still shorthanded, Anna and Kris were joined by a debuting Athena (formerly Ember Moon in WWE). They would send The Baddies packing and stand tall to end the segment.

Athena was released by WWE in November 2021 and has since been performing on the independent circuit where she is the reigning Warrior Wrestling Women's Champion. She successfully defended the belt last night at Warrior Wrestling 22 against Janai Kai.
