Last night’s news during Ring of Honor<\/strong>‘s Final Battle<\/strong> <\/em>PPV that their women’s division, Women of Honor, was getting a WOH Championship belt was probably the biggest story of the night that didn’t include Dalton Castle<\/strong>. It’s been rumoured every since WOH relaunched as it’s own brand in 2015, and it’s been something sadly lacking in Ring of Honor since its first women’s match back in 2002. ROH has had some great women compete with them in the past 15 years that could have really carried that belt and division to a greater impact in the Women’s Revolution – Sara Del Rey, Lacey, LuFisto, Jessicka Havok<\/strong>, the list goes on. But sometimes timing is everything, and it now appears that the timing couldn’t be more perfect. Not simply because women’s wrestling is now at an all-time high peak for interest, but because they’re now partnered up with Japan’s premier women’s wrestling (joshi puroresu) promotion, Stardom<\/strong>. This opens up the field for participation in Women of Honor in 2018 to an international playing field and would potentially give ROH the strongest women’s division of all the major co-ed promotions.<\/p>\n
