Women’s Championship match announced for next Ring of Honor TV
A Women’s World Championship match is set to take place on the Thursday, October 5 edition on Ring of Honor TV.
It was revealed on this week’s ROH TV on Honor Club episode that Athena will defend her Women’s World title against “Legit” Leyla Hirsch on next week’s show.
Hirsch has been built up as a Championship contender with 10 consecutive singles victories on ROH programming since returning from a knee injury in June of this year.
Athena has held the ROH Women’s title for nearly 300 days since capturing the Championship from Mercedes Martinez at last December’s Final Battle pay-per-view, with her most recent defense coming against Angelina Love on the September 21 edition of ROH TV. In all, Athena has made 15 successful defenses of her title.
