Last weekend, the unstoppable Athena stormed into Australia for AEW/ROH Global Wars, putting her Ring of Honor Women’s World Championship on the line against the formidable Alex Windsor in a high-stakes, high-impact main event.
Pre-Match Fireworks
Before the bell even rang, tensions were high. In a backstage interview, the Forever Champion, Fallen Goddess, and American Joshi didn’t hold back, reintroducing herself to her Australian Minions with a sharp warning: she is not to be messed with, not to be overlooked, and absolutely not to be disrespected. (Are you listening, Tony Khan?)
Alex Windsor, however, didn’t back down. While she acknowledged Athena’s dominance, she made it clear that counting her out could be the biggest mistake of Athena’s career. With the International Women’s Cup winner, Momo Watanabe, lurking in the audience, the stakes felt even higher.
A Brutal War in the Ring
Once inside the ring, Athena put on a clinic in destruction, manhandling Windsor with a mix of sheer power and undeniable ring IQ. Windsor, to her credit, refused to be steamrolled, landing some serious near falls and unleashing an absolutely jaw-dropping twisting Fisherman Superplex that nearly stole the show.
But nearly doesn’t count when you’re facing Athena. The champ snapped Windsor’s momentum in half, cranking up the aggression before sealing the deal with her soul-crushing O-Face, leaving Windsor staring at the lights as the referee counted three.
What’s Next?
With yet another victim in her wake, Athena continues her reign of dominance. But with Momo Watanabe watching closely, could a new challenger be on the horizon? If so, they better be ready—because Athena isn’t just holding the ROH Women’s Championship, she’s owning it.
