Great match, very funny to see people wonder why Athena the only person who gets buzz in ROH for her run of great matches keeps retaining the title.

No. That the entire thrust of the first ever Women's FB Main Event was built on Billie not being a minion

Feel like a lot of it was built up on how Athena made Billie more violent and aggressive and hey Billie might just recognize she's better off, and we fans get the act we love back together.

Athena isn't just a one dimensional bully they all kind of like each other too, and Athena was actually proud Billie started becoming a psycho.

Billie winning would have been more satisfying in the moment but the thing about these big epic Athena title matches is that it's easy to forget how much heavy lifting Athena is doing / how much less compelling an actual Billie title reign might be at this point in time

I personally don't really care about ROH as an entity and am eager to see Athena drop her title and move onto programming I watch with much more regularity, but I also cannot blame the booking for catering to people who might actually watch on a weekly basis

billie continuing to want to train under athena makes way more sense to me than why the hell 27-year old wheeler yuta keeps hanging out with three old guys who beat him up and make fun of him and never help him win matches

i mean we've seen with every other roh title that having the women's championship is not what's keeping athena off aew tv, it's tony not wanting to put more than one women's division storyline on tv a week

eddie's on tv, joe was tv, wheeler's on tv, even the mogul embassy has gotten more aew tv time than athena

I feel like people had these same thoughts about Willow not winning at DBD and it turned out that the next program Athena was doing was extremely good so I am willing to wait to see where things go from here! Megan Bayne returning from STARDOM, Serena Deeb, Thunder Rosa, Yuka Sakazaki, all good options.

I alluded to it earlier but it’s great that Yuta is becoming his own little psycho in the BCC. He’s being dirtier than any of his mentors and I hope it’s leading to an angle of “the BCC have created something they can’t control”

It would be equally stupid if they went out of their way to build an ENTIRE PPV MAIN EVENT around Wheeler wanting respect from them, they didn't give it to him, and he just memoryholed months of storytelling

Pretty much all of the beats in a vacuum are fine except the fact that Athena LITERALLY still called her a minion and she just goes "D'okay! :D"

Hell the BCC loving STARTED IN THE FIRST PLACE because once Wheeler had those banger matches with Mox and Bryan they literally respected him. Claudio bullies him, but he's really the only one.

It's a term of endearment from Athena. She really likes that franchise.

I went to this show live. How did the crowd come across? The venue was maybe a quarter full but seemed lively to me. The show had some of the craziest spots I ever saw. Black taurus with the super press slam, the turnbuckle brainbuster, but goddamn, that canadian destroyer in the keith lee and shane taylor match was the sickest loving thing I have ever seen.

The main event was also the best womens match I've seen live and prob top 5 in aew/roh history
