Talk Is Jericho: Athena Released By WWE
Listen to the full podcast at https://www.webisjericho.com/talk-is-jericho-the-hard-times-hard-hits-of-athena/
On today’s Talk Is Jericho, ROH Women’s Champion Athena explains how her strong style of wrestling earned her the nickname “The American Joshi” on the indie scene and also caused a bit of controversy in a recent AEW Dark match against Jody Threat. Athena talks about her journey to AEW, reinventing the Athena character, and why she let Jade destroy her cool angel wings. She also details her run at WWE, from her multiple tryouts to signing to NXT, her move to the main roster, and her devasting Achilles injury and eventual release. She shares stories about the Ember Moon gimmick, including what inspired the colored contact lenses and what it was like to win the tag team titles with then-partner Shotzi Blackheart. She also speaks about her relationships with Vince McMahon, Triple H, Nattie Neidhart, and Saraya and speculates why things didn’t work out for Ember Moon at WWE.
