Rousey immediately got into the ring and addressed Athena before the match began. Rousey and Shafir would get their opponents into ankle locks, looking for the submission victory, but Starkz and Athena both reversed the maneuvers.

"The Baddest Woman on the Planet" then appeared to have Starkz on the brink of tapping out before Athena interfered and hit Rousey with the title belt, causing the disqualification.

Athena is signed with All Elite Wrestling and also performs for the company’s sister promotion, Ring of Honor. Both promotions are owned by Tony Khan. Athena came over after a run in WWE from 2015-2021. Athena defeated Mercedes Martinez at Ring of Honor’s Final Battle for the women’s championship.
