A highly anticipated clash between Mercedes Mone and Athena appears to be on the horizon.
Fightful Select’s recent report indicated that the match was in AEW’s plans for 2025, with AEW Dynasty being considered as a possible venue. This speculation gained further momentum when the two competitors engaged in an in-ring face-off on television.
While many assumed the match was destined for AEW All In: Texas, given Athena’s regional ties, sources suggest alternative creative directions are being explored for that event. Mone and Athena’s placement in the same Owen Hart Foundation tournament was not coincidental, hinting at a deliberate build-up to their match. Although AEW Dynasty’s status as the match’s location remains unconfirmed, it’s widely expected that the two will collide within the next few months.
