Athena on AEW women’s division: ‘We actually do have the best roster in the world’

Posted on by Joseph Currier

While other promotions claim to have the best women’s division in the world, Athena does not believe anyone can match up to AEW/ROH.

In an interview with WFAA News in Texas, Athena was asked about the possibility of AEW holding an all-women’s event in the future. She said Tony Khan has absolutely thought about the idea, and it’s just a matter of getting the timing right. Talent is not an issue, Athena believes, with her saying AEW/ROH has a stacked roster with eager women.

“I know TK has absolutely thought about that. I think it’s just about timing when it comes to those things,” she said about the potential all-women’s event. “And he’s been very open about it. We have the best roster in the world. I know everyone says it, but we actually do have the best roster in the world. We have Mercedes Mone, Toni Storm, myself — the Minion Overlord and Forever ROH Champion.

“But we have a very stacked roster and we have a lot of eager women. I like to say Ring of Honor is the girl show, because we have women’s wrestling across the board. From Leila Grey to Billy Starkz to that hussy Sareee who showed up out of nowhere when I was on vacation. Don’t know what’s up with that, don’t want to know. We have Alex Windsor. We have a beautiful platform where we get to see these women grow on Ring of Honor and then see them progress through AEW.

“So, yes, absolutely. I know it’s something that TK has in mind, especially with the tag team tournament. I just think we have to have baby steps and establish people more to get there. But, yes, I do know that that is on his brain, and it has been on his brain since I have been in AEW. So I know it’s just about timing.”

Athena has been ROH Women’s World Champion for nearly three years now. She is partnering with Mercedes Mone in the tournament to crown the first-ever AEW Women’s Tag Team Champions.

Outside of AEW/ROH, Athena’s indie promotion Metroplex Wrestling is presenting its second all-women’s event — titled “Who Runs The World? 2” — in Irving, Texas this Saturday. She told WFAA that her goal with this passion project is to showcase the power of women’s wrestling.

AEW & ROH wrestler reveals possible knee injury

AEW & Ring of Honor wrestler Queen Aminata is dealing with a possible knee injury, revealed on her latest vlog.

During the part of the vlog shot last Wednesday in Jacksonville, Florida, when Collision was being taped, Aminata said that she was rolling around in the ring and “I hurt my knee a little,” visibly limping as she was filming. She mentioned going to do a pre-tape segment, but nothing made air.

After the show when she was heading to the airport at 4 AM Eastern, she said, “I’m so tired. My knee is so friggin’ sore.” After she got home, she again said she was tired and then “my knee is super sore and swollen.”

No footage was shown of how she suffered the injury or any other details. She was not seen wearing a brace during the video.

The 29-year-old hasn’t wrestled since the Tailgate Brawl show prior to AEW All Out on September 20. As of this writing, she has yet to be announced for her next match.

    • It was the best [match] of my career so far, and the result of the match was the dream of my life.
    • I’m proud because it wasn’t just a match for the most important championship, it was against one of the best in the world, Iyo Sky, someone I’ve admired for many years.

With nine lives to spare (and consequences for losing them all), players must master every jump, uncover mysterious lore, and survive a journey that’s as emotional as it is demanding.
    • Drawing inspiration from titles like Only Up and Getting Over It, Curiosity offers a modern evolution of the genre: combining the viral tension of vertical climbing games with a rich story;  a hand-crafted world, and traditional platforming elements like secrets, collectibles, checkpoints, and even potential skips for the most daring players.

    • One of the last questions before the 24-hour notice was given, [Kross] asked where I stood in all these contract negotiations. And they said, ‘We’ll get to her once we’re done with you,’ which I took as them using me as leverage against him. I do feel like if he agreed within the 24 hours that they would have offered me something, would it have been the same amount as it was before? Would it have been less? I don’t know. But all in all, it felt like a massive, massive red flag, and I did feel like it did come off a bit misogynistic, because originally I was hired before [Kross], and the idea that I have no value without him, and it’s only determined by whether or not he signs, that came off as very misogynistic to me.

ROH World title match set for Friday’s CMLL event

Posted on by Bryan Rose

The next ROH World title defense is in a matter of days.

CMLL has revealed the card for their upcoming show in Mexico City this Friday in Arena Mexico. In the semifinal, Bandido will defend the ROH World Championship against Hechicero. This will be a rematch from Death Before Dishonor in August that saw Bandido retain the championship in a match of the year contender.

Since returning from injury, Bandido has kept a busy schedule, wrestling not only for AEW and ROH but also CMLL, where he has become a regular. Alongside Brody King, Brodido successfully defended the AEW Tag Team titles against Difunto and Zandokan Jr. on September 12. A few days later, they also successfully defended the titles in a four-way ladder match at All Out.

This Friday’s Arena Mexico show will be headlined by a women’s trios match that will see Olympia team up with India Sioux and La Catalina to take on Lluvia, Princesa Sugehit, and Candela.

January 9, 2008 Observer Newsletter: ROH Final Battle tapings, Triumph & Tragedy of WCCW DVD review

Posted on by Dave Meltzer

Ring of Honor taped its fifth PPV, scheduled for March, as the first of two weekend “Final Battle” shows at the Manhattan Center. But from most accounts, the spectacular show was the Sunday card that wasn’t taped, even with the company getting the injury bug the night before.

Champion Nigel McGuiness had his face jammed into the guard rail when hit with a tope by Austin Aries. He needed 14 stitches, suffered a broken nose and had a mild concussion which resulted in him not defending the title as scheduled the second night. Partially due to not having the singles title match advertised, the decision was made to do a previously unplanned tag team title change with Tyler Black & Jimmy Jacobs of the Age of the Fall beating Mark & Jay Briscoe.

McGuiness did a promo the next night causing a weird reaction. I’d been led to believe it was the kind of reaction John Cena would get, but it really wasn’t. It appeared to be about 15-20% or so booing him, and chanting “Drop the belt,” while the vast majority were behind him. Still, you could see that was enough that it unnerved him.

Second semifinalist set in ROH Women’s Pure title tournament

Posted on by Ethan Renner

A second wrestler has advanced to the semifinals round in the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament.

Billie Starkz defeated Olympia on Thursday’s Ring of Honor TV episode to advance to the semifinals. She joins Queen Aminata in filling two of the four spots in the semifinal round.

Aminata defeated Taya Valkyrie at Death Before Dishonor last month to secure the first semifinals berth, and will face the winner of a Trish Adora vs. Deonna Purrazzo quarterfinals matchup in the semis.

Starkz now awaits the winner of a Yuka Sakazaki vs. Serena Deeb quarterfinals matchup that will determine her semifinals opponent.

The eventual tournament winner will be crowned the first-ever Ring of Honor Women’s Pure Champion. The Women’s Pure title was originally introduced in April with a tournament originally planned to end at Supercard of Honor in July, but the initial tournament was postponed and instead began in August.

No date has been announced for the tournament finals to this point.

Our full report from Thursday’s Ring of Honor TV episode is available here.

Former Ring of Honor champion set to return from injury, date & match announced

Posted on by Josh Nason

After suffering a knee injury earlier this summer, former Ring of Honor TV Champion Komander has been advertised for his return.

Noted on X Sunday, the luchador is set to return for a Mexican indie promotion in his hometown of Reynosa on October 19. He will team with AEW’s Hologram against The Beast Mortos & Halloween NG.

He has been out of action since early-June when he injured his knee on a Mexican indie show. He was last seen on TV on the June 4 AEW Collision, teaming with JetSpeed. He was later written off in storyline in a backstage attack by The Hurt Syndicate.

Komander was pulled from AEW Summer Blockbuster that same month in addition to a high-profile match as part of the AEW x CMLL Fantastica Mania event where he was going to team with Bandido and Hologram against Mistico, Neon, and Mascara Dorada.

At the time, it was believed he suffered a significant knee injury but it’s still unknown what the severity or specific injury was.

Whether he returns to AEW or ROH before that October date remains to be seen.

Former WWE & NXT Tag Team Champion makes Ring of Honor debut

Posted on by Josh Nason

Another WWE and NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion has made their recent debut in a Tony Khan-owned company.

Lacey Lane — the former Kayden Carter in WWE and NXT — was part of the pre-AEW Dynamite Ring of Honor taping at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia Wednesday. Her opponent and the result was not identified on social media as of this writing. It’s likely the match will air on ROH TV this week.

After having been in the WWE system since 2018, Lane and longtime partner Katana Chance (Kacy Catanzaro) were both released in May as part of a round of cuts. Lane recently did an interview where she said she felt held back in WWE and was ready to show off her “lucha strong style.”

Wednesday’s match was her first anywhere since April in WWE.

Lane and Catanzaro held the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles for 39 days from December 2023 through January 2024 and the NXT Women’s Tag Team titles for 186 days from August 2022 through February 2023.

Lane joins fellow former WWE & NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion Isla Dawn who made her debut last month on AEW Collision from Glasgow, Scotland. She hasn’t been on AEW or ROH TV since.

Tony Khan says Taz’s Hardcore Hall of Fame ceremony delayed to next week

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Taz’s 2300 Arena tribute is being pushed back slightly.

During Friday’s ROH Death Before Dishonor media scrum, Tony Khan said that Taz had asked if they could move the Hardcore Hall of Fame ceremony to this coming Wednesday’s Dynamite instead of Collision so more of his family could attend. 

“He asked for more time to get his family and everybody lined up,” Khan explained. “It’s for him. It’s the least we can do for Taz….it’s a real honor for us to do that for him here in this building. Taz is an indespensible part of the team. ”

Khan surprised Taz on Wednesday by announcing that he would be the latest to be inducted into the 2300 Arena’s Hardcore Hall of Fame. The arena is better known to longtime fans as the ECW Arena, where Taz was a major star in the 1990s.

Here are notes from Saturday’s press conference with Paul Walter Hauser, Shane Taylor Promotions, ROH Champion Bandido, ROH Women’s Champion Athena, and Khan all took questions from the media.

Paul Walter Hauser

  • He took time to praise Khan, saying he provided so many jobs to people. To see Tony create these jobs and this world, he is indebted as a fan. Tony Khan said with his performance tonight Paul Walter Hauser proved that he is a wrestler.
  • He said that he felt more equipped for this match than previous matches, saying AEW cares a lot about performer safety.
  • Hauser said he wanted to pay tribute to people like Mick Foley and Dustin Rhodes by doing a rolling senton.
  • He said he didn’t even feel the tacks connect to the back of his head, he felt the powerbomb and had the wind knocked out of him and as a result didn’t have to sell much.
  • Khan during this segment put over QT Marshall, saying he’s one of the most intelligent people in wrestling.

Shane Taylor Promotions

  • Taylor said our goal was to do our best and win titles and we proved that tonight.
  • The Infantry said that the gear they wore tonight was a tribute to New Jack. Shane Taylor thanked the city of Philadelphia, saying they recognize real rather than “bull****.”
  • Taylor said out of all of his accomplishments, this was the most important title win of his 18 year career because of the people he’s involved with now. They are the most complete unit in pro wrestling. 

ROH World Champion Bandido

  • Bandido says after two years out, since he came back to AEW and ROH, it’s been like a dream. He’s excited to be part of AEW and ROH.
  • He said being ROH Champion now feels incredible. He said he would be back to wrestle during the residency and wanted a Philly cheesesteak.

ROH Women’s Champion Athena

  • Regarding her match with Mina Shirakawa, Athena said it was tough, it was hard, but she is the ROH Women’s Champion. She considered Mina a great opponent but wished she did less dancing.
  • They pushed Athena was nearing 1000 days as champion. 
  • Athena said that ROH was the be all growing up, bringing up names like Samoa Joe and Bryan Danielson. She said now not only is she working with them, she’s proven she is better than them, this platform is where the best wrestle. AEW is where the best wrestle but ROH is where people grind and become the workhorses.
  • Athena says she’s prepared for Mercedes Mone if she is looking to collect a tenth belt. She said she is also changing her mentality for a future Toni Storm rematch.

Tony Khan

  • First question asked if we’ll see AEW Dark, Elevation, and ROH content on HBO Max. Khan talked about the success of AEW on HBO Max. More content would be great and they are trying to put up more free content as well, mentioning recent ROH content being put up on YouTube.
  • He mentioned that he made the decision mid-show to make the show free due to streaming issues on some browsers. All current Honor Club subscribers will get a month free as a result of the error. He said that will cost a lot of money, up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. But it’s okay, because they made new fans tonight.
  • Asked if they’ll return to the 2300 Arena. Fans have been excellent, the environment is awesome. He wants to do more shows here and loves Philadelphia.
  • Tony Khan said he was figuring out who was cleared before booking more matches for tomorrow’s Collision.
  • Someone asked if we could see more of Adam Priest. Khan said he was a big fan and scouted him at a recent show, saying he was impressive in the British J Cup. Great competitor. 
  • He mentioned that Anthony Henry asked for the night off and that’s why the Workhorsemen weren’t on the show. 
  • Tony Khan suggested we could see ROH Women’s Pure title tournament matches on Collision, since ROH is taped during these shows. 

New ROH champions crowned at Death Before Dishonor

Posted on by Ethan Renner

New Six-Man Tag Team Champions rule the ROH trios division following Friday’s show in Philadelphia.

The Shane Taylor Promotions trio of Taylor, Shawn Dean, and Carlie Bravo defeated Sammy Guevara, Ross Von Erich, and Marshall Von Erich to win the ROH Six-Man Tag Team titles on Friday night’s Death Before Dishonor event.

Guevara took the place of the injured Dustin Rhodes in defending the Six-Man belts on Friday’s show, and pulled double duty as he also defended the ROH Tag Team titles on the program. Guevara and Rhodes had held the ROH Tag titles, but Guevara chose Rush as a replacement for his injured partner in a defense against The Outrunners. Guevara turned heel on The Von Erichs in the aftermath of the Tag title defense, aligning with Rush’s LFI stable.

In the show’s other title bouts, Athena retained the Women’s World title over Mina Shirakawa, Bandido retained the World title over Hechicero, plus Lee Moriarty retained the Pure Championship over Xelhua.

Our full report from Death Before Dishonor is available here.

Posted on by Bryan Rose

First wrestler advances in ROH Women’s Pure title tournament

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Queen Aminata has advanced.

Aminata defeated Taya Valkyre in the opening match of the ROH Women’s Pure Title tournament at Friday’s Death Before Dishonor. The finish had Valkyrie go to the ropes, only to found out that per Pure title rules, she had no more rope breaks left. Aminata used the opportunity to strike Valkyrie with a headbutt then covered for the win.

After the match, Deonna Purrazzo came out and had a confrontation with Aminata, who extended her hand. Purrazzo brought Aminata further in, having a stardown with her. Aminata responded by sticking out her tongue, which caused Purrazzo to back off.

The brackets for the tournament were finally released by Tony Khan on Friday, shortly before the start of Friday’s event. Aminata will face the winner between Purrazzo and Trish Adora. On the other side of the brackets, Billie Starkz will face CMLL’s Olympia while Serena Deeb will face Yuka Sakazaki.

The tournament was originally set to be held earlier this year, with the winner being crowned at ROH Supercard of Honor. However, injuries prevented the tournament from moving forward until now.
