*Lexy Nair came to the ring and brought out Billie Starkz, who looked crushed and unhappy. Nair brought out ROH Women's Champion Athena. Athena said we saw another historic victory from the ROH Women's Champion, but we aren't here to talk about her. She told Starkz that they've had nothing but problems with her, they've tried to give her guidance but she still sucks. She complains and moans and all Athena does is try to help her. The crowd chanted, "Shut the F up" at Athena. She praised Lexy Nair's work but said she's made her decision. She turned to Billie and said it was just them for now on. She ripped on Nair for her poor ring introduction at the PPV, said she didn't wear a Penguin costume as instructed to go with her Two-Face entrance and nearly cost Athena the match when she dropped a mic. She sad Nair was expelled. Nair left. Athena told Billie it was her and minion forever. Starkz was confused and dismayed - her body language was great here - but they embraced and left together.C
