Athena, the current Ring of Honor Women's Champion, expresses her eagerness to appear more on AEW programming, stating she has had conversations with Tony Khan about it. She acknowledges the fan anticipation and her desire to make a bigger impact on AEW's main shows. While enjoying her reign in ROH, Athena believes her time on AEW's bigger stage is approaching.
