Per SRS a few weeks ago, the only reason Athena hasn't been moved up is Tony views her as THE draw of ROH and the person carrying the brand It's such a frustrating position. On the one hand, someone as good as Athena seems like she should be front and center and a big part of the biggest show Khan's putting on. On the other hand, someone on that level is arguably more needed just to keep ROH where it is right now.

Thatās crazy. Why canāt she be on AEW every week like Claudio was?

Feature her just enough on television to garner interest in ROH, but not heavily enough to burn out your golden goose. Claudio is an amazing freak of nature that can handle that level of exposure between "promotions."

Claudio also never defended his belt that much, just had it with him while he was involved in other things involving BCC. With the women it's more difficult as they only do one women's match a show and have 2 AEW women's belts already, plus you'd want to protect Athena's win-loss record right now if she was on AEW TV more so you'd end up keeping her away from some of the bigger matches and competing against Stat or Saraya.
Not sure if it's the plan but could see her dropping the ROH Title to Billie eventually and then making the move back to AEW.
More on topic I love these segments between the 3 women, Athena is the standout but Billie is ultra likeable and endearing.

That video has 1800 likes in 2 hours. Which is between 8 to 10 times as much as their average tweets. The only thing close is the new champion graphic for Kingston which has 2000 likes in 24 hours. I also saw that the Athena's Minions shirt is a top seller on AEWShop.com. Pretty impressive stuff by Athena considering she is working exclusively on the smallest platform.

Athena's been absolutely killing it in ROH. Shame it's paywalled from most AEW fans, though.

No way they got through this in one take, all three of them were on the verge of corpsing here. Billie basically could not hold it in by the end.

I'd have no problem with Athena being exclusive to ROH if it applied to the other champs as well.
But we had the ROH world title defended last night, the TV champ wrestled one half of the tag champs in the main, there's a match for tag title contenders on Rampage, the trios belts are being defended on Rampage, and the Pure champ pops up all the time for matches and translator promos. It just really sticks out.
Let the women's champ appear on AEW if you're letting all of the other champs!

I remember when some fans were claiming Athena ālacked personality.ā Oops. Billie and Lexy are great here as well.
We should be seeing this on TV and not hidden behind a paywall.
