The unstoppable Athena, reigning ROH Women’s World Champion, once again proved why her dominance knows no bounds. On Sunday, Athena retained her championship in a hard-fought battle against STARDOM’s Thekla, despite interference from Thekla’s faction, H.A.T.E.
H.A.T.E. Enters the Fray
The match, held in front of a roaring STARDOM audience, was already a high-stakes encounter, but the involvement of Thekla’s H.A.T.E. stablemates upped the ante. The faction attempted to tip the scales in Thekla’s favor, creating chaos inside and outside the ring. However, Athena, no stranger to adversity, fought through the distraction, proving once again why she is one of the most formidable champions in the business.
Despite Thekla’s resilience and her group’s interference, Athena’s composure and skill shone through. In the end, the Fallen Goddess delivered her signature O-Face, securing the victory and silencing any doubts about her reign.
A Second Round in the States?
Following the match, Athena addressed the crowd, expressing admiration for Thekla’s effort and leaving the door wide open for a rematch—this time, on U.S. soil.
"I’d love to step into the ring with Thekla again," Athena said. "She brought the fight, but next time, let’s do it on my turf. Let’s see if she’s ready to face me in the United States."
While Athena hinted that her current stint in Japan has come to an end, she made it clear that her time in the country isn’t over for good. "Japan has been an incredible experience, but for now, it’s time to head home. I’ll be back, though—count on it," she assured fans.
What’s Next for Athena?
With her title reign continuing to gain momentum and international prestige, Athena’s next challenger could come from any corner of the wrestling world. Whether it’s a rematch with Thekla, another challenger from STARDOM, or someone from the ROH or AEW roster, one thing is certain: Athena remains the standard-bearer of dominance.
As she prepares to return to the United States, the Fallen Goddess has made one thing clear—she’s not just defending a title. She’s cementing a legacy.
