AEW President and ROH owner Tony Khan took part in the Final Battle media call, where he talked about a number of topics including Billie Starkz’s growth in ROH.
Khan said, “It’s been amazing to watch the growth of Billie Starkz. I first met Billie in Universal Studios in Orlando working the “[AEW] Dark” tapings, and she was a standout teenage prospect and is a great young wrestler and has been for years, but she’s matured and gotten better and better, more confident and crisper, and you see she’s maturing in and out of the ring and becoming a young veteran with a good amount of experience for her young age.”
On her match with Athena at Final Battle:
“We saw them have a fantastic match a year ago and it’s gonna be really interesting to see where things stand now. It’s a great world championship match for Ring of Honor, to have Athena defending the title against Billie Starkz in a rematch in such a big spot on one of the most important shows for ROH at this iconic venue (Hammerstein Ballroom) that we’re really excited about. I think it’s gonna be a great rematch: Billie Starkz vs. Athena for the title.”
