Athena's historic run as ROH Women's World Champion continues to reach new heights, but the reigning champion has made it clear that she has no intention of slowing down.
Athena won the ROH Women's World Championship at Final Battle 2022 when she defeated Mercedes Martinez. What began as a major championship victory has since developed into one of the most remarkable title reigns in modern professional wrestling.
As of September 2026, Athena has held the championship for more than 1,300 days, establishing herself as the longest-reigning champion in ROH history.
Her reign recently reached another significant milestone when she surpassed Roman Reigns' historic Universal Championship run. That achievement placed Athena in a unique position, making her the longest-reigning champion of the modern era regardless of gender.
However, Athena is already looking toward another major record.
The next target on her list is Hulk Hogan's legendary world championship reign. Hogan held the WWE Championship for 1,474 days during his famous run in the 1980s, and Athena is aiming to surpass that figure.
If she remains champion until Christmas, Athena expects to move beyond Hogan's mark and establish another major milestone for her already historic reign.
For Athena, though, the ultimate objective appears to be even bigger. Rather than simply breaking individual records, she has expressed a desire to keep the championship indefinitely.
Her reign has also coincided with a period in which she has become one of ROH's most consistent attractions. Athena has headlined multiple major shows and continued to defend the championship against a variety of challengers.
The next phase of her reign could also see Athena increasingly involved with AEW. She has made it clear that she wants to compete for more championships across the AEW ecosystem, including the AEW Women's World Championship, the TBS Championship and the women's tag team titles.
For now, however, the ROH Women's World Championship remains firmly in her possession.
Athena has already established herself as one of the defining champions in ROH history. If she reaches the next milestone she has set for herself, her reign will become an even more extraordinary chapter in professional wrestling history.
