Women’s Title Match Added to ROH Final Battle 2023 Card

Billie Starkz will challenge Athena for ROH Women’s Championship at Final Battle 2023, while Datlon Castle and Komander have also qualified for a place on the card.
Starkz and Athena have been tag team partners for the last few months now, but things turned sour between them during Minior Training Graduation Ceremony this week on ROH on Honor Club episode. Athena chose to graduate presenter Lexi Nair, but Starkz strongly felt that she also deserved to graduate after a win over Marina Shafir last week.
Athena told her to not step on Nair’s moment. As they all left the ring and Athena asked Starkz to pose with her on the ramp, Starkz snapped and threw her into the barricade. Later in the show, Starkz directly asked Tony Khan for the title match against Athena, claiming that she was ready to challenge Athena.
