Jeff Jarrett, WWE Hall of Famer and current Director of Business Development for All Elite Wrestling (AEW), recently appeared on his podcast, My World with Jeff Jarrett, where he spoke about ROH Women’s World Champion Athena. Jarrett, reflecting on her journey, emphasized her charisma and dedication within the wrestling industry.
Discussing Athena’s impact, Jarrett said,
“She’s got an aura and a charisma about her. And I am definitely not late to the party on jumping on the bandwagon. But Conrad, we did the kickoff party for All In. Gosh, that seemed like a lifetime ago in a lot of ways. But she was a part of that.. And you know, I was the MC of it. Brought talent out, back and forth and all that. But we chatted that night as well. And I didn’t want to get too deep in the weeds there. But you know, she came into the organization — what, well over a year at Ring of Honor? And I just was observing that in a lot of ways, in that she’s really put in the time and the effort — and in a lot of ways, the emotional investment. And so I hate to say it, but it’s about time [she got a push].”
