Interim Ring of Honor Women’s TV Champion Mina Shirakawa returned from injury during Saturday’s AEW Collision.
Shirakawa came out to aid AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm at the onset of Collision when she came out to deliver a promo to the fans when she was attacked by Athena and Billie Starkz. Storm will defend against Athena at Forbidden Door.
Shirakawa won the interim TV title and then got injured by Athena the next night at AEW All In. She hasn’t been seen since.
As announced on Thursday’s HonorClub, Shirakawa will challenge Athena for the ROH Women’s World title at this month’s Death Before Dishonor from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her future with the interim TV title is unclear as is the return of current champion Red Velvet.

- ROH World Champion Bandido defends against Hechicero
- ROH Women’s World Champion Athena defends against Mina Shirakawa
- ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty defends against Xelhua
