Zayda Steele made her Ring of Honor Final Battle pre-show debut last December. Five months ago, she appeared in the main event of ROH Supercard of Honor, claiming the ROH Women’s World Championship.
during a recent interview with “Muscle Memory” Steele recalled feeling a mixture of nerves and excitement on the last night. “It was surreal,” he said. “I had to introduce myself to my mentor (Christopher Daniels) as such. He repeated me in India. Won’t he do it live, my first pay-per-view? I was fired at first. We won’t talk about it, but it was the first time it paid.
On this occasion Pohpat competedshe first ever “Women’s Survival in the Sportiest Match”.where the only way to win the ROH Women’s Title was to outscore a field of six. Steel appeared to be the first to be eliminated after crashing through a chair at the hands of defending champion Athena. Athena went on to retain the title, eliminating Maya World for the last time.
Steel currently wrestles for ROH and AEW, both managed by Tony Khan. “He’s literally the biggest wrestling fan,” Steele said of Khan. “He is. He loves it. I’ll listen to him react (to movements) in Gorilla. He’s in love with wrestling there. I love wrestling. So it’s great to work for him. He loves this just as much as I do. And what you see is what you get with Tony.
