Porcelain…trash bag…hussies; that is how ROH Women’s World Champion Athena refers to the potential challengers that have been put into the ring with her, and based on how she treated Ashley D’Amboise last week AFTER the match had already taken place, it’s safe to say Athena has very little honor in her personal Ring of Honor.
But after going 19-0 in Ring of Honor competition, and successfully defending her championship eight times against foes like Willow Nightingale, Yuka Sakazai, Emi Sakura, and Miyu Yamashita twice, one has to question just who can survive “The Fallen Goddess”?
Well Heather Reckless, a product of the Black & Brave Academy, will be the next woman who takes a stab at being the one to survive Athena’s onslaught. Reckless is no stranger to this level of competition, on AEW programming she’s battled Thunder Rosa, Anna Jay, as well as Penelope Ford, and away from the AEW/ROH banner, she’s gone to battle with Skye Blue, Billie Starkz, and the aforementioned D’Amboise. Reckless has a good amount of experience under her belt, and she comes from a top shelf training academy, but will it be enough for her to earn a future ROH Women’s World Championship match? She doesn’t even have to beat Athena to gain that opportunity, by the rules of the Proving Ground, Heather Reckless just has to survive the time limit.
