ROH Women's World Champion Rok-C recently appeared on Wrestling Inc.'s Daily podcast, where she spoke about having her first title defense against former WWE Star Killer Kelly and how Kelly is one of the most amazing women she has met in her life.
Rok-C said:
“To have my first championship defense against her was really cool. She is so awesome.” “She is one of the most amazing women I’ve met in my life. I’m really excited to keep defending this championship. There are a lot of women in Ring of Honor who I have my eye on too.”
Rok-C also discussed how she is looking forward to sharing the ring with new ROH signee Trish Adora.
Rok-C said:
“Trish Adora is amazing. Her story is amazing. I’m really looking forward to sharing the ring with her.”
Rok-C also talked about how the landscape of women’s wrestling has changed over the years and now the forbidden door, which has been the most discussed topic in pro wrestling, does not exist and that she is open to face anyone who wants to challenge her for her championship, including anyone on IMPACT or even the AEW Women's World Champion Britt Baker.
Rok-C said:
“There are so many women’s wrestlers. It’s crazy because just a few years ago you may have seen maybe one women’s match on the card.” “It was called the eye candy match. The women were very sexualized. No, these are wrestlers. We just had NWA Empowerrr. That was amazing. Now we’re having women’s main events.”
“I think it’s really cool. Maria Kanellis said it. There is no door. I’m open to anyone who wants to challenge me for the championship. Whether it be [at] Impact or Britt Baker or anyone. I think that would be so amazing. I’ve had so many experiences throughout my career regardless of how old I am. They’ve shaped me to be ready for matches like this. I’ve always been told you should not have to get ready. You should stay ready. If anyone wants a shot at the title I’m ready.”
Rok-C also discussed the time she spent training in Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling promotion.
Rok-C said:
“You learn about everything. The setup is amazing.” “They have promos. Booker T speaks about working for TV. If I didn’t have that experience before and was thrown into Ring of Honor, I would have walked in there like, ‘Oh my God.’ Reality of Wrestling is so special to me because I grew up there. I was there when I was 16 and won their championship at 18. I was their youngest women’s champion. I will forever be grateful for Reality of Wrestling.”
Rok-C then talked about the women's division in ROH and how there is so much they can do to stand out and show just how talented they are.
Rok-C said:
“Ring of Honor is pure wrestling. I think the tournament gave all these women the chance to show how talented they are.” “You have so many amazing women like Trish Adora. Nicole Savoy, who I got to wrestle a few months prior to the tournament. You have these amazing women now having the spotlight on them. We’re going to make so much magic. Whether it be put on more main events with the women or whatever it may be. Maybe an all-women’s Ring of Honor pay-per-view. There is so much we can do.”
