It looks like Abadon has stepped up as Athena’s next challenger. They emerged during Athena conducting a MIT (Minion in Training) live in front of the crowd.
As Starkz was doing sit-ups, Athena boasted about mentoring both Lexy Nair & Starkz. Starkz then asked Athena why Nair was not here, to which Athena responded by saying Nair did not lose her title to Red Velvet at Death Before Dishonor. Therefore this seemed punishment for Starkz.
Athena said she was looking to become the longest-reigning champion in ROH History as she is about a month away from Samoa Joe’s record. She called everyone a hussie backstage and said they were afraid of her. Abadon’s music hit but they came up from behind Athena who didn’t realize it at first. They confronted Athena and shouted in her face before Athena fell out of the ring. Abadon has set their sights on the ROH Women’s World Title.
Athena took offense to Melissa Santos who implied she was afraid of Abadon. Abadon’s last title opportunity was for the TBS Title back in December against then-champion Julia Hart.
Elsewhere on this week’s episode, Harley Cameron defeated Viva Van, and Leyla Hirsch sent her own message to the women’s locker room.
