First matches booked for ROH Death Before Dishonor

Two title matches have been announced for the Friday, July 26 ROH Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view.

Women’s World Champion Athena is set to defend her title against Queen Aminata at Death Before Dishonor. The bout was announced during Thursday’s Ring of Honor TV episode. Athena has been out of action since May, and her in-ring absence has been attributed to injury in storyline. The Women’s World Champion suffered a legitimate injury scare in her last match in May, but that has been exaggerated in storyline.

Athena’s “minion” Billie Starkz will also defend her title at Death Before Dishonor.

Starkz defending the ROH Women’s TV Championship against Red Velvet at the July 26 pay-per-view was also made official during Thursday’s Ring of Honor TV episode.

Thursday’s episode also featured Lee Moriarty going to a time limit draw with Wheeler Yuta in an ROH Pure Championship Proving Ground match, so Moriarty has earned a shot at Yuta’s Championship. That match has not yet been made official for the PPV.

The announced card to this point for ROH Death Before Dishonor set for Friday, July 26 on Honor Club:

  • ROH Women’s World Champion Athena defends against Queen Aminata
  • ROH Women’s TV Champion Billie Starkz defends against Red Velvet
