Ahead of their highly-anticipated bout, Mone appeared in an interview on the Toucher & Hardy show, and heaped praises on Athena. Calling her “one of the greatest women’s wrestlers”, the TBS Champion claimed,
“I’m going to be performing and wrestling against Athena, who is the longest reigning Ring Of Honor champion of all time, she’s held this title for over 800 days. Insane. She is one of the greatest women’s wrestlers of all time, so I have goosebumps for tomorrow, it’s been one of my dream matches. Before I even made it to WWE, I had my eyes on Athena, so this is something I’m really excited for.”

Recently, speaking in a digital exclusive after defeating Harley Cameron, Athena sent out a warning to Mercedes Mone.
“This is my year. This is my moment. First round of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, done. Now on to the semi-final to face y’all’s CEO, Mercedes Mone. As much as you’ve been running AEW, I’ve been running Ring of Honor. Now it’s time for both of us to clash in your hometown. But here’s the spoiler alert Mercedes, I’m going to beat you. I’m going to embarrass you in front of your friends and your family.
After that, I’m going to go on to win the entire Owen Hart Foundation tournament. After that, I am going to be at All In in my hometown as I beat whoever is the AEW Women’s World Champion. You made a mistake, Mercedes, and that was picking a fight with me. Because hell hath no fury like Athena’s scorn. See you in Boston, bitch.”
