Tony Khan announces former WWE star for title match at ROH Supercard of Honor
AEW President and ROH owner Tony Khan has announced another major title match for ROH's upcoming Supercard of Honor show. Former WWE star and current AEW performer Mercedes Martinez will take on Willow for the Interim ROH Women's Championship.
Both Martinez and Willow are veterans of Ring of Honor, with Martinez making a handful of appearances for the company in 2006. Meanwhile, Willow was the last person to challenge for the ROH Women's Championship at an ROH event, losing to recent WWE signee Rok-C at the Final Battle event in 2021.

Tony Khan has promised to make the first ROH event under his leadership a special one. But because ROH didn't renew the contracts of its talent roster last year, Khan has called upon some of his AEW roster to help the card take shape.
Shane "Swerve" Strickland, Lee Moriarty and Jay Lethal are all scheduled to appear at the show. Khan has also placed some AEW stars in high-profile title matches.
