“The Fallen Goddess” Athena has been ROH Women’s World Champion for nearly 300 days, in fact should she make it to Friday with the title still in her possession, Athena will actually hit that milestone; all she has to do is defeat her 17th challenger on Thursday night. As she stated in her above embedded tirade directed at Billie Starks, Athena is slated to step into the ring with “Legit” Leyla Hirsch for her next defense, a woman who’s on a 10 match singles win streak in Ring of Honor, and actually hasn’t lost a one-on-one bout in ROH or AEW since the March 18, 2022 edition of RAMPAGE! But she’s also a woman who’s got a lot on her plate aside from the match, most notably the attention of one Maria Kanellis-Bennett.
So with this first ever bout between Athena and Leyla Hirsch, will it be the winning streak of “The Fallen Goddess” that remains intact, or will it be that of Hirsch? Will the former continue building her legacy as champion, seemingly destined to be “The Forever Champ” in reality as well as in her own mind, or will the latter bring it all to a sudden end in Seattle?
