Athena Debuts Bane Inspired Gear at ROH Final Battle

ROH Women’s World Champion Athena confirmed as much as ROH Final Battle with Bane impressed gear.

In the principle occasion of ROH Final Battle, Athena defended the ROH Women’s World Championship towards Billie Starkz. Athena confirmed off for her 370th day as champion, popping out in ring gear impressed by the comics model of Bane. Athena has been candid prior to now about eager to create cosplay impressed gear like so many wrestlers do and it is no secret that she loves showcasing her interior nerdy tendencies. From Kenny Omega, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet, Jade Cargill, Hikaru Shida and so many others, the traces are continually blurred in skilled wrestling and popular culture.

“I haven’t really gotten to do it. When I was in WWE, I had to do ‘inspired by’ because we have a bunch of copyrights,” Athena stated in an interview with Comicbook.com final 12 months. “Plus, my character at the time didn’t really allow me to go out there and be like, ‘I’m Loki, I’m Hela,’ which I tried to do and they were like, ‘No.’ I’ve had gear and stuff inspired by things, but this is the first one I’ve done in a very long time. I’ve very excited about this. I’ve been working on it for almost two or three months. Literally, I got to a point where I got super-self conscious and I was like, ‘Christian, does this look like what it’s supposed to look like? Are you sure?’ I’ve been working on this thing for two weeks now, one thing I’m talking about, the rest of it is done.”

Athena has defended the ROH Women’s World Championship 16 instances since successful it at final 12 months’s Final Battle pay-per-view from Mercedes Martinez. Since, Athena has been a cornerstone of Tony Khan’s imaginative and prescient of Ring of Honor. Athena debuted in AEW in early 2022 after being one among a number of names launched in November of 2021 by WWE. Since ROH moved to weekly tv on HonorClub in March, Athena not often makes appearances on AEW tv which is one thing she’s hopeful she is going to be capable to do once more quickly.

“I think the next step for me would be to take a crack at AEW TV again. My first time around was not great, and I lost to the all powerful Jade Cargill,” Athena advised Under the Ring. “I think now, with me being the forever ROH Women’s Champion, I want to be a triple crown champion by the end of 2024. I’m going after all of the belts, the TBS Championship, Julia Hart. the AEW Women’s Championship, Toni Storm. I’m not content with just beating up these fragile broads left and right. This is your warning, I am coming for you guys in 2024. It doesn’t matter what anyone says, you got an X on your back and it’s only a matter of time before we get there.”
