Originally slated to take place last week, but postponed due to an injury sustained by Willow in her NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship loss to Giulia, the last Semi-Final bout in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament will go down this Friday night on RAMPAGE, with the winner facing Ruby Soho in the Finals less than 24 hours later on COLLISION!
This bout is a rematch from the second of ROH ON HONOR CLUB, a ROH Women’s World Title fight won by Athena, and as such is going to be quite heated. This is Willow not only needing to rebound from her championship loss, but also wanting to prove no ill effects from the injuries that kept her from competing last Saturday night on COLLISION. As for “The Fallen Goddess”, she has designs on continuing the monumental roll she’s been on since last Fall when she last tasted defeat!
Athena is heading into this one with yet another Proving Ground victory from Thursday’s ROH ON HONOR CLUB, while Willow Nightingale has had some time to rest and recover from the bout with Giulia. Which woman will be the one to who take their respective experiences, and roll them into a fight with Ruby Soho this Saturday? Will it be Athena heading into her first AEW match with Ruby, their first singles encounter since August 2018, or Willow looking for vengeance against Soho for her betrayals?
After successfully retaining her AEW Women’s World Championship at FORDBIDDEN DOOR 2023 against Willow Nightingale, Toni Storm is on the lookout for new challengers to her title. Given all the enemies she has made since aligning with Saraya, and later Ruby Soho, to form The Outcasts, it won’t be hard for Toni to find another woman in All Elite Wrestling who wants to punch her in the face and take that title.
Is that what the AEW Women’s World Champion is coming to RAMPAGE to address this Friday? Or does she have something else on her mind to share with the world? Tune into TNT beginning at 10pm ET to hear what Toni Storm has to say!
