Athena Says She’s Dealt With With A Dislocated Kneecap, Neck Injury, And More During Title Reign

Athena has been the ROH Women’s Champion for over 1350 days and has been dubbed the Forever Champion for a reason.

She has made 38 defenses during her reign.

Speaking at the ROH Death Before Dishonor press conference, the Forever Champion revealed what she’s gone through during her reign.

“I do nothing but try to promote myself and my company that I absolutely love, day in and day out. Do you guys actually know too much about Athena? Athena doesn’t stay on social media a lot, so let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. During my championship reign, I’ve dislocated my kneecap, I’ve had severe sprains to my ankle, I had a severe injury to my neck, but yet day in, [the title] meant the world to me and so amny sitting at home hoping for the opportunity to not only step in the ring with me in a proving ground, but step in the ring against other champions. I come here to not only defend for myself, but for ROH. Forever is not just a word, it is truly forever motivating. Forever being determined, not bowing down to anyone that makes you feel less than. I am forever me,” she said.

Athena successfully defended her title against Hazuki at Death Before Dishonor.
