International Women’s Cup qualifier, Pure title match signed for next week’s ROH TV
A four-way qualifying match that will send the winner to the Tokyo Dome this January is confirmed for next Thursday’s ROH on HonorClub.
ROH Women’s World Champion Athena, Billie Starkz, Women’s TV Champion Red Velvet and Leyla Hirsch will compete in the match where the winner advances to a four-way at Wrestle Dynasty on January 5th against women from AEW, CMLL and Stardom.
The AEW challenger will be determined on next Saturday’s Winter is Coming edition of Collision, while the CMLL challenger will emerge from a four-way on December 13th. Stardom has yet to announce how their participant will be determined.
The broadcast will also feature ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty defending against Matt Taven.
This will be the third title defense for Moriarty who has held the title for over 130 days, but hasn’t defended since September. Taven will be looking to add to his extensive ROH trophy case which includes a World title reign, three runs with the Tag Team titles, three runs with the Six-Man titles, and a TV title reign.
