ROH News: Kelly Klein Set To Defend WOH Title At Honor Reigns Supreme

The WOH World Women’s Title will be defended at Honor Reigns Supreme!

Ring Of Honor may be finished up inside the squared circle in 2018, but that doesn’t mean there are not events coming up as the promotion looks ahead to January 13th’s Honor Reigns Supreme from Concord, North Carolina.

Already announced for the event is a big ROH World Title contest as Dalton Castle looks to regain the championship when he takes on Jay Lethal (see more on that here). Plus, yesterday it was revealed that Luchasaurus, Delirious and Shane ‘Hurricane’ Helms could earn a shot at the ROH World Six-Man Titles when they face the titleholders, The Kingdom, in a Proving Ground Match (read more here).

Now, another championship will be on the line as ROH has officially added a WOH World Women’s Title bout that will see the new champ Kelly Klein defending against Jenny Rose:

The Best Wrestling on the Planet returns to Concord, N.C., on Sunday, Jan. 13 for Honor Reigns Supreme at Cabarrus Arena. The top stars in Ring of Honor will do battle on a can’t-miss show that will be streamed live worldwide for HonorClub.

All roads lead to the G1 Supercard, co-promoted by ROH and New Japan Pro-Wrestling, at sold-out Madison Square Garden on April 6, 2019, and the happenings in Concord undoubtedly will have an impact on the historic show.

In 2018, Honor Nation saw the Women of Honor crown their very first World Champion Sumie Sakai and at Final Battle, “The Gatekeeper” Kelly Klein ended her reign in dominant fashion, pinning Karen Q., Madison Rayne, and Sumie Sakai to become Champion! At the most recent ROH International Television Taping in Philadelphia, Kelly stated that any match she has as World Champion will be for the title! And in Concord, she faces one of her fiercest rivals!

Jenny Rose got under Kelly Klein’s skin, chipping Kelly’s teeth, surprising her in Japan, and pinning her in a six-woman tag in Philadelphia earlier this year! Kelly took the fight to Jenny and pinned her on ROH Television from Pittsburgh to earn her spot in the Final Battle Four Corner Survival bout, the match where “The Gatekeeper” picked up the victory.

Jenny wants one last shot at Kelly and she will get it in Concord! Due to Kelly’s proclamation, the World Championship will be on the line! With bad blood still boiling, can Jenny use this to pick up the title or will Kelly continue to demonstrate her reclaimed dominance and defeat Jenny once and for all? Join us in Concord or watch live on HonorClub to find out!
