Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for December 11, 2025

Athena, Billie Starkz and Diamanté head to the ring to start tonight's show and celebrate three years of Athena being ROH Women's World Champion for three whole years. Athena says she felt it appropriate to celebrate three years as champion with the fans, saying that she has put her all into every title defense while building herself up from ground zero and carrying Ring of Honor and its women's division. She says she has built the women's division up and elevated it, proving that hard work pays off, then proclaims that she will not stop because the ROH Women's World Championship is more precious to her than anything in this world. Athena stats that she and her minions will defend the title and dominate Ring of Honor forever, then wants to know where the Pure Women's Championship is, stating that Bille Starkz was supposed to take them into 2026 with two world titles. She then tells Billie that she will have a tag team match with Diamanté against "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purrazzo and whoever she can find in the back. Athena then states that this is her night and proposes a toast, stating that no man can touch her reign and that no woman can match her legacy, for she is forever.
