Shirakawa then tries a second driver, but Athena catches her and hit san armbar, complete with biting. Athena then hits a straightjacket powerbomb and goes up top. She then hits an O Face for the win.
The winner and still the ROH Women’s World Champion, “The Fallen Goddess” Athena!
After the match, Athena holds her championship up high and celebrates with Billie Starkz as the show comes to a close.
