It’s been five months since Robyn Renegade’s last contest within the ROH ring, but she’s coming back tonight with a huge opportunity, one she’s never been fortunate enough to experience before! After making her bid to be the first ROH Women’s World TV Champion during the inaugural tournament last February, Renegade gets a shot at the actual champion tonight during HONOR CLUB. Not only is it her first chance to claim a Ring of Honor championship, it’s also the very first time Robyn will step into the ring with defending champion Red Velvet!
After a successful defense over Leila Grey last week, five consecutive singles victories, and going 13-1 in her last 14 singles matches, Red Velvet may as well change her name to red hot! Aside from Athena, there likely isn’t anyone in ROH on a stronger roll than the ROH Women’s World Champion, but will we see it come to a screeching halt tonight when Red steps in the ring with Robyn Renegade?
THE FALLEN GODDESS RETURNS!
Tonight during HONOR CLUB, ROH Women’s World Champion Athena returns to ROH competition for the first time since her FINAL BATTLE 2024 victory over Billie Starkz. In the weeks since that last appearance, Athena competed inside the Tokyo Dome at WRESTLE DYNASTY 2025, and went 4-0 on Stardom events, including a successful title defense against HATE’s Thekla. Tonight “The Fallen Goddess” returns to competition for her 69th ROH bout, her 61st singles contest, and her 30th Proving Ground challenge! To date Athena is 29-0 on the Proving Ground with only Lady Frost exceeding the eight-minute mark during their HONOR CLUB #86 meeting; on a resume full of impressive statistics, that is up there with her 789 days as champion and 26 title defenses, but will this be the night that someone finally snaps the streak? Seemingly unable to escape the toxic grasp of “The Forever Champion,” it also looks like Billie Starkz will be at ringside in Athena’s corner for this Proving Ground contest!
