Athena advances in AEW Owen Hart Foundation women’s tournament

Athena has advanced to the semifinals of the AEW Owen Hart Foundation women’s tournament. 

The ROH Women’s World Champion defeated Billie Starkz in a quarterfinal bout at Sunday’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door Zero Hour show in Toronto to advance to the semifinals. 

Athena will now face Willow Nightingale in the semifinals at a date to be announced after Nightingale defeated Nyla Rose on Saturday’s Collision show in Toronto to advance. 

With the win on Sunday, Athena extends a singles match winning streak that goes back to September of last year, with her last singles defeat coming to Jade Cargill in a TBS title match at All Out on September 4, 2022. 

On the other side of the bracket, Skye Blue defeated Anna Jay on Friday’s Rampage episode to advance to the semifinals, and now awaits the winner of this Wednesday’s Ruby Soho vs. Britt Baker quarterfinal matchup. 

Soho and Baker is a rematch of last year’s tournament finals, a match won by Baker at last May’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view.
