Athena, currently holding the ROH Women’s World Championship for an impressive 932 days, has successfully defended her title 29 times since defeating Mercedes Martinez at the Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view in December 2022. With the 1000-day milestone approaching on September 5, 2025, Athena shared on the sports show "The Takedown" that she never expected to hold the title for so long and is taking it day by day. While she joked about comparing herself to WWE Hall of Fame stars, she sincerely expressed deep gratitude for her career journey. Her path hasn’t been easy, especially with a challenging title defense coming up against Thunder Rosa at the ROH Supercard of Honor event on July 11. Despite Athena’s overall success in ROH, she has yet to defeat Rosa in a one-on-one match.
