Athena may be the unquestionable top woman in Ring of Honor, but Booker T feels so much more could be done with the Women\'s World Champion. On his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker, who trained Athena, argued that the ex-WWE Superstar should be a regular on AEW\'s televised programs.
\"Athena would fit right into the AEW women’s roster. She’s just as good, if not better... instead, they stick her in a box and put her in Ring of Honor.\
Though a regular in Ring of Honor, Athena rarely appears on AEW programming, with her most recent match for the brand coming back in April. That match is also Athena\'s only AEW match of the past year, something that Booker would like to see change.
On the podcast, Booker also addressed AEW\'s ratings, which have taken a slump in recent years. The days of Tony Khan boasting about over a million fans tuning into Dynamite are a distant memory and Booker shared what he\'d be doing if he was in Khan\'s shoes.
\"If I saw the ratings drop that low, I’d be thinking about getting some help or shutting it down—one of the two.\
Athena recently passed 700 days as ROH Women\'s World Champion, more than any other champion and more days than all other champions combined. Nevertheless, Booker believes there\'s a lot more that can be done with his pupil, and has been underwhelmed by Athena being \'boxed in\' as part of Ring of Honor.
