ROH Women’s World title Proving Ground match set for next week
ROH Women’s World Champion Athena will be in action on next week’s ROH on HonorClub.
She will face newly signed Maya World in a Proving Ground match. If World wins or the match ends in a time limit draw, she will earn a shot at Athena’s title.
World teamed with her partner Hyan and Deonna Purrazzo in a win over Athena, Billie Starkz, and Diamante at the ROH x CMLL Global Wars tapings on January 31.
In a backstage segment on last week’s episode, Athena challenged World to the Proving Ground match, saying she was embarrassed at Global Wars. The bout was made official during Thursday’s broadcast. It was taped on Sunday March 1, at ROH’s standalone TV tapings in Jacksonville.
Athena also appears to be building a program with ROH Women’s Pure Champion Deonna Purrazzo. In a backstage segment on this week’s show, Athena and Billie Starkz were shown having recently attacked Purrazzo backstage, with Athena later telling Starkz to win Purrazzo’s Pure title.
