Ring of Honor recently held Death Before Dishonor at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In its main event, Athena retained her title against Mina Shirakawa in a hard-hitting match. Interestingly, at the post-show Media Scrum, the former NXT Women's Champion revealed that Tony has been helping her with Metroplex Wrestling's "Who Runs The World?" events.

Athena is one of the co-founders of Metroplex Wrestling (MPX). The first "Who Runs The World?" was held on August 9. A second event is scheduled for October 25.

"But yes, it is going to be a very regular thing, and Tony’s been very awesome with helping me with that as well, so we’re working on it. I promise I’m a little late because I was a little busy traveling the world and defending my championship and trying to win championships. But I promise you it’s a regular thing, so please stay tuned. I know by Monday, we are gonna be releasing the full talent list, and then we will start doing matches because I’m very excited to announce a few myself," she said. [H/T: Fightful]

"F**k Tony Khan," says former AEW star Jake Hager

Jake Hager was signed to All Elite Wrestling from 2019 to 2024. Unfortunately, he did not leave the company on good terms.

The former Jack Swagger recently appeared on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet and criticized the AEW CEO.

"I always find a way to say this every day, so I think everyone should too: say, ‘F**k Tony Khan.’ I could tell that he didn’t want me there," the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion said.
