It looks like that ROH Womens World Title match fans expected for AEW All In isnt happening after all despite all the rumors.
During Wrestling Observer Radio earlier this week, Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez discussed the growing tension between Thunder Rosa and reigning ROH Womens World Champion Athena. The pair clashed during an eight-woman tag team main event on Collision, and when Athena used the title belt to pin Rosa, many assumed it was building toward a major showdown at AEW All In in Texas.
Meltzer even stated on-air that a title match between Rosa and Athena at All In was the plan. But it turns out, that wasnt the case. On Thursday, Rosa issued a challenge to Athena not for All In, but for ROH Supercard of Honor the night before. In a clip shared on social media, Rosa made her intentions clear:
Athena hasnt officially responded yet, though with ROH x CMLL Global Wars airing Thursday night, the champion may have her say soon. But one things clear the big ROH Womens Title match is set for July 11, not AEW All In on July 12.
Its an interesting decision, especially with All In taking place in Texas Rosas home state and given how vocal fans were about wanting that match on AEWs biggest summer show. But it appears that for now, the popular bout wont be part of the All In lineup.
Do you think Rosa vs. Athena shouldve been saved for All In, or does Supercard of Honor make more sense? Hit the comments and let us know where you stand on how this one played out.
