Athena Announces STARDOM Debut for Next Year

ROH Women’s World Champion Athena is taking her talents to Japan, marking her highly anticipated debut with STARDOM.

In a video message aired during STARDOM’s December 24 event, Athena revealed she’ll be competing at the promotion’s January 3 show, teaming up with Thekla. While the duo’s opponents haven’t been named, fans are already buzzing about what promises to be a thrilling match.

This move solidifies Athena’s growing presence in the international wrestling scene. Beyond her STARDOM debut, Athena is also set to compete in the International Women’s Cup at NJPW x AEW Wrestle Dynasty. The stakes couldn’t be higher for this match, as the winner will earn a title shot in the promotion of their choosing.

Athena has been on a tear in ROH, recently defending her Women’s World Championship against Billie Starkz at Final Battle. Now, she’s set to bring her hard-hitting style and undeniable charisma to STARDOM, where fans are eager to see how she meshes with Thekla in their debut as a team.

As January 3 approaches, all eyes are on STARDOM to see how Athena’s arrival shakes up the competition. Could this be the start of an ongoing presence for Athena in Japan? Or will she focus on continuing her reign of dominance in ROH and AEW?
