In regards to the reason for Black Taurus’ new character and ring name, this was due to trademark-relates issues involving Lucha Libre AAA owning the Black Taurus and Taurus names.
Billie Starks Wins ROH Women’s TV Title at Supercard of Honor 2024
Friday’s Supercard of Honor 2024 event also featured Billie Starkz defeating Queen Aminata in the Finals of the ROH Women’s World Television Championship tournament to be crowned the inaugural champion.
Near the end of the match, Starkz attempted a Swanton to Aminata, who blocked it by putting her knees up. This led to Starkz complaining about her neck and the match being stopped as ringside doctors attended to Starkz.
After some medical attention including a neck brace being placed around her neck, Starkz was assited to the ropes that was held open by Aminata. While Aminata had her back turned to Starkz, Starkz revealed that this was just a ruse by her and attacked Aminata. Starkz then locked in a sleeper for the referee stoppage victory to become the inaugural ROH Women’s World TV Champion.
In shocking fashion, Billie Starkz has become the inaugural #ROH Women's World TV Champion, and everyone is at a loss for words right now.
