Ricochet Backs Jon Moxley Over Hangman Page Win, Athena Hypes Her Women’s Wrestling Show

In June, ROH Women’s World Champion Athena announced her independent all-women’s wrestling show, “Who Runs The World,” scheduled for August 9.

During the AEW All In: Texas 2025 media scrum, Athena spoke about Metroplex Wrestling and the upcoming show. She said,

“Right before I started with AEW, I ended up purchasing a local indie promotion that was going out of business because the owner wanted to be with his kids and live a life with them other than running an indie promotion called Metroplex Wrestling. We run every Saturday so it’s a little difficult because my priority is AEW and Ring of Honor, so I’m double tasking 90% of my week. For over a year and a half now, we’ve been trying to plan an all-women’s wrestling show down to production, referees, announcers. It’s been a really big passion project of mine. When I started wrestling in Texas, there were only three girls in the state. I didn’t really have a lot of guidance. Their names with Jessica James and Claudia, who passed away a few years ago. They took me under their wing and we made towns. They helped me out so much and I look at such a young generation now and the gap of experience level from those of us that have traveled the world on the indies and those of us that are just getting started and there’s not a lot of crossover with that. I wanted to provide a platform where these women can learn how to work TV style, learn how to wrestle with some of the best in the world and learn from them as I’ve had that opportunity by traveling around the world, but make it in Texas and provide a platform to show who they are an tell their stories. Our first show is August 9th. It’s paying it forward and leaving the business better than when you got in.”

“Hangman” Adam Page defeated Jon Moxley to win the AEW World Championship at Saturday’s AEW All In: Texas 2025 pay-per-view event.

Taking to Twitter, Ricochet opined that Moxley should have won at AEW All In: Texas 2025, in contrast to the fan-favored victory of Page. Ricochet tweeted,

“Mox should have won.”

Mox should have won.
