Mercedes Martinez will defend the Ring of Honor Women’s World Championship at ROH Death Before Dishonor on July 23.
As confirmed on the Control Center for the July 13 episode of AEW Dynamite, Martinez will defend the title against Serena Deeb at the show.
Martinez and Deeb have been teaming up in recent weeks, but they came to blows after they won a tag team match on the July 8 episode of AEW Rampage. Deeb left the champion lying and posed with the title to state her intention to challenge for the gold.
