Athena is ready for the 2023 Owen Hart Cup.
Ahead of her first round match in the tournament at Sunday’s AEW & NJPW: The Forbidden Door 2 show in Toronto, the women’s star appeared on Busted Open Radio for an interview to promote the show.
Featured below are some of the highlights.
On her opponent Billie Starkz in the Owen Hart Cup: “I will say this, I’m not super familiar with Billie (Starkz) other than she’s the indie sensation that everyone loves and honestly going through, looking at a lot of her matches that I’ve seen online, we’ll see what she has. At the end of the day, I don’t care if she just graduated from high school. She’s standing across the ring from a grown-ass woman that is ready to hurt her and I don’t think that she’s ready for that smoke.”
On being ready for Starkz after studying her: “That’s it, right? I’ve watched a ton of film on Billie and I’m like, ‘Mhm, meh, okay. Let’s see what you got kid. Let’s see what all this hype is about.’ I hope that she proves me wrong. I hope she goes in that ring and tries her best, gives me everything she has but I think she’s gonna realize very quickly that she’s out of her league.”
