Former WWE Star Debuts in ROH, Challenges Champion

Sirena Linton, a former WWE talent, has officially debuted in Ring of Honor, a promotion affiliated with AEW. Linton, who confirmed her departure from WWE in May, appeared at ROH TV tapings on September 28, approximately four months after her exit from the Stamford-based company.

Upon her arrival, the 24-year-old immediately targeted the reigning ROH Women's World Champion, Athena. Linton successfully earned a Proving Grounds match against Athena, which could lead to a future championship opportunity should she win or go the distance. Linton had previously shared her feelings about her WWE release, describing it as a stunning and frustrating experience.

Reflecting on her release, Linton revealed on her YouTube channel that she was taken aback by the decision. She conveyed her disappointment in being let go unexpectedly after dedicating significant effort to the company, feeling dropped despite forming strong bonds with colleagues who became like family.

At 24, Linton has a promising future in professional wrestling. Her transition to ROH sets the stage for potential appearances on AEW programming, offering her a new platform to showcase her abilities.
