Athena: I’d Love To Main Event ROH Supercard Of Honor 2024, I Know I Can’t Have The Ball Every PPV

Athena would love to main-event again, but she never wants to be greedy.

Att ROH Supercard of Honor, Athena will defend the ROH Women’s World Championship against former AEW Women’s World Champion Hikaru Shida. Athena has main-evented two ROH pay-per-views in a row, as she and Willow Nightingale headlined ROH Death Before Dishonor 2023 before her match with Billie Starkz went on last at ROH Final Battle.

Speaking with Kimmy Sokol of The Pop Break, Athena was asked whether she felt she would main-event ROH Supercard of Honor 2024.

“Of course, I am going to say yes. I am so thankful that Tony has given me the ball twice, right and I never want to be greedy even though I should be. You also have Eddie Kingston vs Mark Briscoe for the ROH World Heavyweight Championship on the show so it’s up in the air. I am very grateful to be the first woman to main event two ROH pay-per-views back-to-back under the Tony Khan banner and I am privileged and humbled by that. Cause that on its own is a cool statement like I main evented with Claudio and Joe on the card My porcelain hussie best friend or frenemy Willow Nightingale went out there and killed it the first time and then Tony had enough faith in me and my performance in that to have me and Billie do it again in my hometown. I think it is cool to have those accolades under my belt and I would love a third. I would love to beat Shida in the main event spot in Philly where Athena used to stomp around with WSU and CZW and all of those different promotions. At this time I have to be reserved and know that I can’t have the ball every single pay-per-view,” Athena said.

Sokol responded by noting that Athena could, and the champion agreed. Athena looked back on main-eventing ROH Final Battle and reiterated that she would love to headline Supercard of Honor. She also stated that she had to not be greedy, but she would love to kill it in the main event again.

“You’re right I can, but I genuinely don’t know and I am being 100% honest. The second time Tony made it a surprise when we walked into the building. The first time he had told me a couple weeks before and it was the whole big thing of keeping it a secret. It’s crazy and fun to have that with my boss, to be honest, and he has that faith and ability in me. So yeah, I would love to do a third. Do I think so? Absolutely. I am the forever ROH Women’s Champion and I am the Champion mainstay for ROH, but I also have to not be greedy in that aspect of things and I would love to kill it in the main event with Shida,” Athena said.
