Athena talks about why it would mean so much for her to headline ROH Death Before Dishonor.
Athena and Willow Nightingale will face off at Ring of Honor Death Before Dishonor for the Ring of Honor Women's World Championship. Both women have pushed to be the headlining match on the pay-per-view, and now Athena is opening up about why this match headlining would mean so much to her.
"In my entire career, I've never gotten to main event a pay-per-view," Athena said to Steve Fall on WrestlingNewsCo's Ten Count. "We've done indie shows and stuff like that, but not on this stage. I feel like that's just a bucket list that I want to do to just show the world that I'm not overrated, I'm not underrated. I am Athena, The Fallen Goddess, and I am just ready for this responsibility to see if I can do it first and foremost. In my brain and my soul, I know that we can deliver. I know it's going to be an amazing fight because it's been fantastic both times before. I think I'm going into this just hoping with all fingers crossed that I can cross up another item off my bucket list to main event a pay-per-view, and with Ring of Honor being so amazing just toward women's wrestling in general. The possibility is there. We just have to wait until Friday and see."
