    A former WWE champion has been absent from AEW TV for a few months. She has now addressed her absence.

    Athena has been signed to AEW for the past couple of years. However, she has spent most of her time in Ring of Honor. In fact, the former WWE star has been the ROH Women’s World Champion for the past 1222 days. During her dominant reign, she has defended the title against some of the best female wrestlers in ROH. Athena has also made appearances on Dynamite and Collision over the years. Her last match in Tony Khan’s promotion took place at Worlds End 2025 when she and Mercedes Mone lost to Babes of Wrath in an AEW Women’s Tag Team Championship match. Since then, she has not competed in the Jacksonville-based promotion.

    A user on X recently pointed out that Athena has not competed in a singles match on Dynamite for the past year. Her previous singles match on Dynamite took place on the 16th April 2025 episode, when she lost to Mercedes Mone in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament semi-finals. The former WWE star responded to the user and asked if they were craving more of her.

    “Are we craving more #AthenaEliteWrestling ??”

    Former WWE star Athena wants to break Bruno Sammartino’s record

    Athena won the ROH Women’s World Championship when she defeated Mercedes Martinez at Final Battle 2022. Since then, she has defeated a long list of challengers during her impressive title reign. Currently, her title reign is at 1222 days and counting. This makes her one of the most dominant women’s champions in recent memory. However, she has much bigger plans and ambitions.

    Speaking on Black Rasslin’ podcast, Athena said that she wants to break Bruno Sammartino’s record of 2803 days of being a champion.

    “My goal is to be Bruno Sammartino. That is the ultimate goal. And we are starting year 4. We’ve finished year 3. We’re on year 4. I think I want to do more. I think that’s always going to be my thing. I want to do more,” she said.

    It remains to be seen if she will achieve her goal.
