Women's World Championship match official for ROH Final Battle

The Women's World Championship will be defended at ROH Final Battle. 

As revealed during Thursday's Ring of Honor TV episode, Athena is set to defend her title against her "minion" Billie Starkz at the show set for Friday, December 15. 

Starkz defeated Marina Shafir in a bout on Thursday's episode, then was embarrassed by Athena when the Women's World Champion named Lexy Nair the valedictorian of the Minion In Training Class of 2023. 

After being snubbed, Starkz attacked Athena and stood over the champion with her title belt. The match was then officially announced for Final Battle. 

Two participants also qualified for the Survival of the Fittest six-way to crown a new ROH TV Champion at Final Battle on Thursday's episode, with Dalton Castle & Komander becoming the first two official qualifiers for that bout. 

Our report from Thursday's Ring of Honor TV is here.
