“My interactions with Tony Khan have been insanely different than that of my former boss” – Athena reveals the real difference between WWE and AEW

Athena, an AEW star, has opened up about her time with WWE, describing how drastically different her new home is from her previous one.  Even though Athena joined AEW less than a month ago at AEW “Double or Nothing,” her time there has already been memorable.

She discussed working for Tony Khan, CEO of AEW, as opposed to her previous WWE superiors, in a recent interview. She is always excited, according to the former NXT Women’s Champion. She also commended Tony Khan’s participation and availability.

She said, “Tony is extremely busy, but my interactions with him have been insanely different than that of my former boss. Because he’s just excited, he’s pumped, he wants to get everyone pumped up as he is. It’s the first time I think I had a show … He’s just going up to every match like, ‘Let’s go! Let’s get this!’ I’ve never had that.”

Athena continued, “And it’s just energy on cloud nine, every step of the way. Sometimes, the couple of days I’ve been there, we’re there for like fourteen hours and his energy doesn’t drop. He’s so motivating, he’s so pumped about everything that’s on the TV product, which I’m not used to on any level.”

How is Athena faring at the AEW?

Once she joined AEW, Athena had seemed destined to eventually come into conflict with Jade Cargill, the TBS Champion. One of Cargill’s toughest tests to date will undoubtedly be a match against the former WWE Superstar. The AEW newbie just confronted Cargill and already defeated Kiera Hogan. In a recent episode of AEW Rampage, however, Jade Cargill triumphed.

Athena launched a surprise attack on Cargill and The Baddies after defeating Willow Nightingale, and this time she successfully knocked Hogan out. Despite this, the Jade managed to knock the former NXT Women’s Champion out with a powerful boot. This contest will undoubtedly be one of the must-see contests in women’s wrestling this year when it eventually takes place.
