Despite reports that Mercedes Monè was willing to put Athena over, Wrestling Observer Newsletter confirms that a match between the two was never planned for AEW All In: Texas.
The report clarifies that AEW President Tony Khan had long envisioned Toni Storm vs. Monè as the centerpiece women's match for the show—an idea he's been committed to for over a year. This direction remained in place regardless of whether Mariah May had signed with the company or not.
While Monè’s openness to work with Athena was legitimate, the match was simply not in the cards for the All In event, as Khan had already been building toward the eventual Storm-Monè showdown.
