Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for July 20, 2023

It is announced that Daniel Garcia will face Katsuyori Shibata for the ROH Pure Championship at Death Before Dishonor.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Willow Nightingale and Tony Khan. Tony Khan announces that based on Willow's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament win and her win against Athena in the semi-finals, as well as their history in ROH, Willow will face Athena for the ROH Women's World Championship at Death Before Dishonor. Willow says she is still on a high from her Owen Hart Tournament win, then says she has been in the ring with Athena twice and has learned how to be in the ring with someone like her and not only has a win against her, but she has championship victories under her belt at this point and she promises to bring a big fight. Meanwhile, in footage from earlier today, Athena argues in vain with Stokely Hathaway and Jerry Lynn about having to defend her championship, saying she is not doing this match after having single-handedly carrying ROH and the women's division and that she will go over their heads and get Tony Khan to veto this decision. Tony Khan shows up and makes the match official, much to Athena's chagrin.



Athena beats Nikita in an ROH Women's World Championship Proving Ground Match with one punch while still wearing street clothes instead of her usual wrestling gear. After the match, Athena gives Nikita a beating and scares the referee out of the ring, then Willow Nightingale shows up and has a staredown with Athena in the ring.
