Athena on ROH vs. AEW, turning heel, and rediscovering her love of wrestling
Fresh off Supercard of Honor and a screening of Dungeons & Dragons, Athena hits The Sessions for a chat that spans Ring of Honor, AEW, and a WWE run that sounds as chaotic as it looked. From finding out the Ember Moon vignettes were hers after they aired to rediscovering her love of wrestling (with a surprising opponent), the Ring of Honor World Women’s Champion walks Renee through a fascinating few years in the squared circle.

Athena has been KILLING IT as ROH Women's Champion! She looks like she's having hella fun, and I'm so happy for her! And I can wait to see what she does next, hopefully join in on that Outkast/Originals storyline. She'd be perfect for it!

Athena's heel turn is 100% The Outcasts' entire issue with AEW. Athena fits perfectly
Always fun to listen to Athena. She has such lovely energy and she reps nerd culture so well.
Glad Athena decided to stay in wrestling - killing it at the moment 👏👏👏
Loved her NXT title run, but she's doing even better work now. Athena rules.
She's such a badass wrestler and truly a sweetheart it seems like she's a really cool person
I love Athena Palmer. My kids and I went and saw her at Warrior Wrestling here in Grand Rapids, Michigan and it was awesome. She pointed out my daughter who had a sign in support for her. It made their night.
Athena is killing it in RoH
The way you both were just like “trin always gets the short end of the stick” i swear!!! People always made me feel crazy for feeling like trin and also athena got paid dust for all the ability and star power they so naturally have. Ugh! Love this
Give Athena all the belts!
Athena is fucking great. She's doing some of her best work right now and has really emerged as one of the best in the world in the last year.
I love the appreciation and love other female wrestlers have for Trinity. She's truly underrated and has so much untapped potential. I wish her all the best and I'm so excited to see where she goes from here on out. I hope all her stars align and she shows what she's capable of before ( or if) she returns to WWE.....

I always enjoy watching Athena/ Ember Moon in the ring. Her rivalry with Asuka was great. Plus, she's an awesome gamer.

I've always been an Athena fan. She deserves more appreciation and respect. She's really good and she's honestly one of the best things going in ROH. Worth getting Honor Club to see her matches. I'll always support her. Thank you for the interview!
Athena VS Trinity fatu 🔥
I saw that Athena/Willow ROH match live. It was like drinking a red bull.
I LOVE Athena & even love her being the heel! Much love from Henderson Ga
The Fallen Goddess leveled up. Love the comment on Skye and Queen A. Both doing work out there and it was great to see them in an AEW ring together.
Thanks Renee for another top interview 😊
Trinity vs Athena!! Now that would be some pressure😮💨🖤
Forbidden Door really needs to be a 2 night event. I would love to see Athena in Stardom or vs more of the joshi's.
Glad to hear Thunder Rosa getting some love - nice one Athena ❤️

they do a 30 min awesome match in warrior wrestling
Waiting tables is absolutely traumatic. I did it for 3 years. Last time was over 8 years ago now. I still have nightmares. Extremely stressful job. Not only will you Hear about every single mistake you make, but they'll also withhold Tip which is your literal salary. Doing it full time, week after week...its awful. Ya take a server job to make some fast cash, and maybe get "ahead" a little bit, and then move on. Some people act built for it, but generally they all have really cruddy vices like cigarettes, booze, marijuana, FOOD!, loads of vices. Its a real tough gig for sure.
I love both of you ladies. ❤ Its great watching this interview.
I still have my Ember Moon shirt I gotta get me an Athena shirt one day! Love Athena's heel turn & #ROHWomensChampionship reign!
I love your interview with Athena.
I watch ROH regularly now along with 2 Darks, Dynamite, and Rampage. Lots of great stuff.
Never got into the Ember Moon character but I am such a huge fan of Athena and everything she's been doing in RoH, pretty much the main reason I've watched since it started back up.
Athena is the best female wrestler in AEW/RoH and needs more TV time
Athena's match with Willow was fucking sick. If there is to be a round 2, the groundwork for the story is there.
Amber Moon is an awesome name too. i heard so many Ex-wwe say they did better in AEW then there. btw from the Athena debut match i knew you will be awesome and make in far. Respect!!💜💜
We love you both, Renee Paquette and Adrienne Reese 💜💜🙏🙏👏👏
No disrespect to her husband, but she is beautiful and very talented. Her heel turn has been great.
Athena NEEDS to start using Toyota's rolling death cradle. That will be epic!
There's a reason the company was named ATHENA ELITE WRESTLING. Lets go! Hopefully they bring her into Dynamite in the near future. She's gold and one of the best they have. Have her steal a win for the TBS title and have a run with it with her current character for a while. She'll do wonders with the belt and this will prepare her for eventually taking the World Title down the line.
Enjoying Athena's run. Glad to hear she's fulfilling her wish list. Just a lot of fun. Love the manic clutching the belt paranoia.
I would love to see Athena at the AEW UK event!
Athena is gorgeous ❤
best champion run right now
I really became a fan of Athena after seeing a 100 moves compilation of hers while she was in the indies. So much versatility, athleticism, creativity and fluidness. She's been so dope in ROH, and AEW that when she beat Mercedes Martinez, Mercedes didn't even get a rematch if so I didn't know about it. She brings life that ROH women's title, I've seen other women hold that belt, and they were cookie cutter faces, and heels compared to Athena.
AEW/ ROH Is booking her SO GREATLY
Don't forget Miss Jones ❤
Pumpkinhead poster!!! Give her all the belts!
Love love love u athena 💜💜💜
Athena omg please for the love of god, please come to NS! That would be amazing!! If you are ever down please look into Kaizen pro wrestling. I would let you kill me in a match!!
I love Athena aka elder moon she is beautiful and athletic
I love you Rene so much you are my role model
I love Athena from day one. I hope AEW pushes her to the moon.
Athena is so genuine, in a fake cookie cutter place where she used to be, I can see it not working there. Good to see she is in a good place where she can be herself and show off her talent not just in the ring but on a microphone as well.
Renee is 100% correct, you never forget haha
Athena AKA Ember Moon the Fallen Angel AKA War Garden

War Garden?
1:35 So I think the reason people are still calling Athena "Ember" is because a lot of people may not even remember that yeah Ember Moon is no more cause outside of ROH (where she's been kicking butt and taking names btw) I feel like a lot of people don't even realize that Athena is still with AEW.
😊❤
She is soooo fucking good and her heel work on dark is better than the outcast crap that's on the main show. Aew much like wwe need to learn how to properly book their female talent.
We all need to sign a Petition to Tony Khan/AEW and request that they have a Hardcore match between Taya Valkyrie vs. Athena OMG 😱😱😱😱 These 2 have great chemistry look it up on KZread.. Athena and Valkyrie had a Hardcore match where Athena came up with this innovative spot. Where Athena standing on the top rope and suplex Taya Valkyrie through a High Mountain of Chairs on the floor OMG. Tony Khan please put this on Dynamite on live Television. Main Event This match if book right. will steal the show. And be the best female AEW match ever.. My Opinion
I wanted to see Athena vs Himeka in Stardom, but she is retiring this month.
She is probably the hottest thing on ROH and I love it.
So she does own a wrestling promotion here in DFW Texas?
👍
Imagine if she returns to the wwe and being called ember moon again like Emma did
I am exactly the same about pro wrestling.... people tell me the same things
Plz do a sessions with AJ styles the phenomenal
Anyone else think that Athena would be an excellent booker?
She'd be perfect with Outcasts..Athena 3000
It is hard to re-think the wrestler's current names. Its so hard to think of Jon as Jon and not Dean.
They should have put her in the bloodline Naomi is it good
I wanna see Jamie Hayter vs Athena
Take a break from interviews for a bit love them but there coming at me too quick nowadays just take a week off or better yet a month and let us know what we are missing 😊
Ayo RENEE you are the answer to this media. Don’t stop. 6FIGGAWIGGA 😂 BIGGUP TO YOUR FAMILY
I call Renee! Renee moxley good! Comment if you know!! Let's make some noise here!
Athena vs Jade...title vs title.
Of *ALL* the releases WWE did. Releasing Athena (Ember Moon) was the dumbest and to this day the *ONLY* release i feel sad about. Ember Moon should have won the Evolution 2018 Battle Royale to get a title shot against Ronda Rousey back then. Oh Well Athena is at a better place now - i still however hope that someday i will hear the Ember Moon theme and see her again in WWE and get the *MASSIVE* push she deserves.

There is none!
Genuine note for Athena: record yourself talking every once in awhile. There’s many filler words in your speech. Most notably here was “like” (I.E. “and like”, “but like”) It adds a certain rhythm to your speech that sounds closer to “valley girl” than “Warrior goddess”. Can make it tricky to listen to an hour interview.
People really forget trinity/Naomi was supposed to be the Trish to AJ lee’s lita . Go to their fcw days Naomi and AJ were the only good ones there .
Renee your mic keeps being weird in this interview I couldn’t really understand u have the time
GLU
Athena should be aew's women's champ, you dont see her getting hurt or hurting others! That's a massive problem in aew/roh.....less is more! Not, reckless gets pops!
......... "Gamechanger" 😂😂😂
Will athena have kids though we all wanna know
She his been soooo Good and i like ROH but she needs to be featured on Dynamite as a main player she's to good not to be imo
Renee has been hanging out with the Bella’s wayyyy too much 😐 she starts every sentence with “it’s funny because” just like the Bella’s
Is that the new phrase of the week??? At the end of the day??? Damn that's getting annoying as russos "bro"
Wow Athena looks a lot better looking like that instead wearing all that clown make up she wears on tv 😬 I thought makeup was supposed to make you look better not worse
The ROH is joke, they don't even have their own tv show, they only are on dark which sucks, I would 💯 % prefer to see Ember on TV than the overrated jade
Thanks Renee for another top interview 😊
