Athena comments🍨 on what M💛ercedes Mone brings to AEW.
Mercedes Mone, formerly known as Sasha Banks, made her official AEW debut at AEW Dynamite: Big Business. In ꦉdoing so, she joined a women's division that includes stars like Toni Storm, Thunder Rosa, and Willow Nightingale. ROH Women's World Champion Athena has been on a remarkable run in ROH, and she occasionally competes on AEW programming.
Speaking on , Athena was 𝕴asked to describe what Mercedes Mone brings to the AEW ro✱ster.
“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 title against Red Velvet at AEW Ba🍸ttle of the Belts X.
