The women's wrestling free agent market is intense, with some globally exposed talent available.
We can confirm that there have at least been light talks and gauging interest between Athena, formerly Ember Moon, and AEW. Those with knowledge of the situation said that there was a "feeling out" process between Ember Moon and All Elite Wrestling, going back to early when she was first released. We haven't heard as of yet if she'll be signed or brought in, and people in All Elite Wrestling we spoke to claimed there didn't seem to be a sense of urgency to lock her down.
Nixon Newell, the former Tegan Nox, is another top free agent in the wrestling world. Nixon hasn't wrestled since her WWE release, leaving her out of the ring since October. When Fightful inquired about her status, we were told that she'd been kept very busy trying to sort out visa situations, which have been an uphill battle for many wrestlers who suddenly find themselves as wrestling free agents.
