Stokely Hathaway And Athena Sign With All Elite Wrestling, Appear At AEW Double Or Nothing
Jade Cargill retained her TBS Championship, but and Athena showed up to make the post-match festivities a bit more interesting.
Jade Cargill ended up beating Anna Jay to retain her title, but she ultimately had some help from Hathaway, who made his presence felt as he walked down the aisle. The former Malcolm Bivens’ appearance was enough of a distraction for Cargill to hit Jaded for the win.
After the match, Hathaway, Jade and the Baddies were about to attack Anna from an attack, but Kris Statlander and Athena, the former Ember Moon, came to the ring and stop things from escalating.
