Athena to compete for Scott D’Amore’s Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling

ROH Women’s World Champion Athena is set to compete at the debut events for Scott D’Amore’s new promotion.

Athena will be in action at Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling Forged In Excellence this October. It’s a two-night event taking place on Saturday, October 19 and Sunday, October 20. The shows are being held at St. Clair College in Windsor, Ontario, Canada and will air live as pay-per-views on Triller TV.

Since December 2022, Athena has been on a dominant run as ROH Women’s World Champion. She retained against Queen Aminata last month at Death Before Dishonor.

Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling has yet to announce Athena’s opponents for Forged In Excellence. Kylie Rae and Gisele Shaw are among the other talent set to wrestle at the shows.

Konosuke Takeshita vs. Josh Alexander is the first match that’s been announced for the event. QT Marshall, El Phantasmo, Raj Dhesi (Jinder Mahal), KUSHIDA, Alex Zayne, Kevin Knight, Jake Something, and Trevor Lee are also advertised.

Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling is a revival of the Maple Leaf Wrestling brand that originally existed from the 1930s to 1980s. It’s a new venture for D’Amore after he was fired as president of TNA Wrestling this February.
