The new era of Ring of Honor aired its second episode of its weekly television program on March 9.
The event was headlined by Athena defending the ROH Women's Title against Willow Nightingale. Willow was part of the previous era of ROH as Maria Kanellis and Bobby Cruise revitalized the women's division with Women of Honor.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Willow discussed headlining the second show and her ROH journey.
"Being part of Ring of Honor has been really rewarding to see the way it's been rebooted. When I first started working there was when Maria Kanellis and Bobby Cruise really launched a women's division. Cary Silkin pulled me and a few other girls aside and was like, 'You guys are awesome. We've had a lot of great women walk through the doors, but we've never had a division like this before.' For me, all about women's empowerment and feminism, 'Hell yeah, I love to hear that.' I was a little crushed when we were told we weren't continuing on with Ring of Honor. To be part of the new regime is exciting, it's a fresh take on it, we've featured women and had two women's matches on each show and [Thursday], Athena and I main evented, which is awesome. Not only two women, but two black women main eventing the second show ever. For some people, that doesn't matter, but for people who grew up like me and didn't see stuff like that, we've come a long way," she said.
Athena was victorious in her bout against Willow.
Along with being part of the ROH roster, Willow is signed to AEW.
