Former WWE star isn't ruling out a blockbuster AEW All In 2025 appearance

A former WWE star recently took to social media to reaffirm her interest in appearing at AEW All In: Texas. The star is a record-breaking champion in AEW's sister company, Ring of Honor.

This Saturday, All Elite Wrestling will host its biggest pay-per-view of the year, All In, in Arlington, Texas, at Globe Life Field stadium. The PLE is already stacked with marquee matches, including Jon Moxley vs. Hangman Page for the AEW World Title, Toni Storm vs. Mercedes Mone for the Women's World Title, and the men's and women's Casino Gauntlet matches. One name missing so far among the various stars who will be present on the show is former WWE star Athena (known as Ember Moon in WWE).

The ROH Women's World Champion doesn't have a program at the pay-per-view yet, but has publicly stated her desire to be part of the show. The Fallen Goddess, who has held her title for over 900 days, recently took to X to reaffirm her desire to make an appearance at All In.

"There is still time... I have to be there!" wrote Athena.
