Former WWE star teases blockbuster clash against Mercedes Mone (fka Sasha Banks): "I might have met my match"

A former WWE Superstar teased a dream match against the AEW TBS Champion, Mercedes Mone. The star also declared Mone as her ultimate rival.

The former WWE star in question is Athena (fka Ember Moon). Athena has been the ROH Women's World Champion for more than two years now. However, fans have been longing for her return to AEW television. The former WWE Superstar was last seen at the WrestleDream 2023 Pay-Per-View, where she competed in a mixed tag team match.

Meanwhile, Athena has shifted her attention to the current TBS Champion, Mercedes Mone. During an interview with Denise Salcedo, the ROH Women's World Champion, deemed The CEO as her ultimate rival, as she was intrigued by a potential match with Mone.

"That's someone I watch very, very closely. Like every match that she has ... I think when the bar stacks up, like, that is my ultimate rival. That is the person that I don't know how that match is going to pan out when I look [at] every scenario in my head because she's so innovative, I'm very innovative, I'm very creative."

Athena further revealed her past conversations with Mercedes:

"I know that she loves wrestling just as much as I love wrestling, like we've had conversations about watching old stuff, like all Japan and old TNA stuff and I feel like I might have met my match as far as creativity goes in the ring." [H/T: WrestlingINC]
