Kris Statlander has a message for the ex-WWE NXT Champion, Athena (fka Ember Moon). This past Wednesday on Dynamite, Statlander got into a brawl with the TBS Champion Mercedes Mone. Statlander is slated to defend her AEW Women's World title against Mercedes at the Full Gear 2025 pay-per-view on November 22.

Ex-WWE star on Tony Khan's potential plans for a special AEW event

Ex-WWE star Athena was recently asked about a potential women's-only event in AEW during an interview with WFAA 8. Athena revealed that Tony Khan has considered one, but it's all about the timing:

“Absolutely. I know TK has absolutely thought about that; it’s just about timing when it comes to those things. We have the best roster in the world. I know everybody says it, but we actually do have the best roster in the world. I do know that is on his brain, it’s been on his brain since I have been in AEW at least. It’s just about timing.”

Only time will tell whether a women's-only event similar to WWE Evolution will take place in AEW.
