Athena had been a free agent since 4 November 2021, when WWE released her as part of one of its swooping rounds of pandemic era "budget cuts." Working independent dates for such groups as Warrior Wrestling, Prestige Wrestling, and The Wrestling REVOLVER after that, Double Or Nothing was her first appearance on a mainstream wrestling show since a four-minute loss to Mandy Rose on NXT's 5 October episode.
The former NXT Women's singles and Tag Team Champion debuted following Jade Cargill's successful TBS Championship defence over Anna Jay, which also brought Stokely Hathaway's first appearance for the promotion. Athena joined Kris Statlander in running Cargill, Hathway, Keira Hogan, and Red Velvet out of the ring, hinting at her first storyline.
AEW is yet to announce when Athena will wrestle her first match since signing. She last competed on the 28 May Warrior Wrestling show, the day before Double Or Nothing.
