Stokely Hathaway & Athena Debut At AEW Double Or Nothing 2022!
The wrestlers formerly known as Ember Moon and Malcolm Bivens are #AllElite!
The wrestlers formerly known as Ember Moon and Malcolm Bivens are #AllElite, having debuted for All Elite Wrestling at Double Or Nothing 2022.
Both arrivals came during and after Jade Cargill's successful TBS Championship defence over Anna Jay. Stokely Hathaway (known as Bivens in WWE) appeared towards the end, walking down the ramp ahead of the finish, his appearance causing enough of a rift in the system for Jade to seal the deal and take the win.
The angle appeared to signal Hathaway's allegiance with The Baddies, who were already at ringside. When it looked like the heels were about to take control, however, a vengeful Kris Statlander hit the ring, ready to fight.
She was soon joined by Athena. The former Ember Moon arrived to a tremendous pop from the live crowd, evening the score between babyfaces and heels and ultimately forcing the new, improved Baddies out of the ring, standing, as she did, beside Statlander and Jay.
Hathaway and Athena had both been free agents since their respective WWE releases, with the latter let go in late 2021 and the former departing as part of a round of "budget cuts" earlier in 2022.
