Athena had put on dominant performances ever since she dethroned Mercedes Martinez back in December last year. Each of her title defenses has firmly reinforced her utter superiority in the ring, defeating the likes of Emi Sakura and Lady Frost. This week, however, the former NXT Women's Champion faced her most formidable challenge yet in the form of Willow Nightingale at Death Before Dishonor.

While Athena had once defeated Willow, she appeared confident during her entrance. The two started brawling immediately as the bell rang, pummelling each other. The match looked to go either way, with the stars kicking out of their respective finishers.
In the end, the former WWE Superstar was able to choke out Willow Nightingale in a submission hold, thereby retaining her title. The post-match segment saw them both provide each other a look of respect, with Willow extending her hand as the show went off-air.

A fan of pro wrestling since childhood, Shubhajit decided to start creating content on the sport out of passion. Before covering a piece of news or rumor, he conducts thorough research, ensuring information in his work is reliable and completely accurate.
Although Shubhajit admires numerous pro wrestlers, his current favorite is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre. He is fond of The Scottish Warrior’s character work and innovative quips.
If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
Apart from reporting on pro wrestling, Shubhajit enjoys competitive gaming and reading.
