Winner Ace Austin
We go backstage to ROH Women’s Champion Athena. Athena says that 2025 was a year filled with lots of surprises. Athena says that she is trying to prove to the world what she already knows that she is the best Women’s Wrestler in the world but all she got was frustration loss and despair. Athena says that in 2025 she has painted a massive target on her back. Athena says that she knows she’s the best but time and time again she failed to prove it. Athena says she sits here a broken forever ROH Women’s Champion because who is she if she can’t bring anything home for her minions. Athena says it’s time to rethink things and go back to the strategy board because it looks like the only person she can depend on is her.
Match 2

Daniels says that before that match he and Grey sat down and decided to add a new member to the SKYFLIGHT team and that new member is ZAYDA STEEL.
