The same report notes that former WWE Superstar Ember Moon, now going by the in-ring name of Athena could also possibly sign with AEW. It was also said that there has been at least what are light talks and gauging interest between Athena and AEW. Furthermore it was said that those close to the situation note there was a “feeling out” process between Athena and AEW, going back to not long after WWE released her from her contract last November. She became a free agent in early February after her 90-day non-compete clause expired.
