Athena (Ember Moon) Hits Out At “Too Much Safety” For Women In WWE

Former WWE Superstar Athena aka Ember Moon has said that officials in the company were often too cautious with the safety of female talent.

Athena was released from WWE last November and has since worked for Warrior Wrestling, where she is the Women’s Champion.

Speaking to Chris Van Vliet, the former WWE Superstar discussed the safety measures, saying:

“There were times where they were like, ‘girls, don’t fall over.’ It was such a fight to do the Eclipse off the ladder. That was a fight. I tried to do it the first year at Money in the Bank and they were like, ‘this is too unsafe, you’re gonna hurt yourself.’ I go, ‘I’ve done this seven times on the Indies with less safety measures! I’m good.’ The next year, there was some stuff that happened, and they’re like, ‘girls don’t fall down and hurt yourselves.’ ‘Who are you talking to? I’ve done dumber stuff…’ WWE is so careful.

“On some level, they have to remember that some of us have done the dumb stuff that got us hurt and we learned from that and made it safer.”

Athena competed in the 2018 and 2019 Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder matches but lost both bouts.
