A new interim women’s ROH TV champion was crowned yesterday
during the ROH Supercard of Honor.
Crowd favorite Mina Shirakawa defeated Persephone, Yuka
Sakazaki, and Miyu Yamashita in a four-way match to get the
title, with Shirakawa winning the match after she submitted
Yamashita with the figure-four leg lock.
The match came together within a few days after AEW
President Tony Khan announced that the champion, Red Velvet,
was out of action due to injury and could not defend the
title on the show.
Rather than stripping her of the title, Khan announced that
an interim champion instead would be crowned at Supercard of
Honor, with the match only made official before the show
started.
Shirakawa and Velvet will now meet at a later date once
Velvet is cleared to compete to determine the champion.
