ROH Women’s Championship match set for next AEW Collision

Posted on by Bryan Rose

The ROH Women’s title is on the line next week.

During AEW Collision, it was announced that next week’s show will see Athena defend the ROH Women’s Championship against Alex Windsor. This comes following a short interaction between the two where Athena appeared on the balcony and dismissed Windsor, who had just picked up a win in her AEW debut against Taya Valkyrie.

After Windsor left, Athena addressed Toni Storm, who soon came to the ring and demanded Athena sign the contract she won at All In so they could have their title match right then and there. Athena rejected the idea and instead promoted the upcoming match between Storm and Athena’s minion Billie Starkz on this upcoming Dynamite. Storm pointed out that if Starkz won, she’d get a future title match, something Athena didn’t like. Storm then entered through the crowd to go after Athena, who fled from the balcony to end the segment.

A match featuring Anthony Bowens was also teased for next week, though it wasn’t specified which show it would be on or against who. As friction ensued between Bowens and Billy Gunn backstage, Gunn on this week’s Collision told Bowens he had a match set up for him. Bowens responded by saying he trusted Gunn.
