Ember Moon To Face AEW Star Thunder Rosa In First Post-WWE Match

In terms of wasted opportunities, they don’t come much more obvious than former WWE star Ember Moon, who was one of the company’s most exciting wrestlers before being released on November 4, 2021.

Now her 90-day non-compete clause is up, Ember, now wrestling as Athena, is free to wrestle where she likes, and against whoever she chooses.

AEW star Thunder Rosa, Athena chooses you!

That’s right, Athena will be facing Thunder Rosa at Warrior Wrestling on February 12, a match announced in the below video posted by Athena on Twitter.
