Mandy Leon has been a key figure in the women’s division in Ring of Honor over the past five years, but championship gold has eluded “The Exotic Goddess.”
She joins previously announced competitors Katarina Waters, Martina, Jenny Rose, Nicole Savoy, Suumie Sakai, Angelina Love, Tasha Steelz, and Kellyanne, Leon will have a golden opportunity to rectify that. The tournament kicks off with eight first-round matches at Quest For Gold in Philadelphia on April 24thh.
Love’s partner in The Allure, Angelina Love, was announced as a participant in the tournament last week. They both have claimed it doesn’t matter which of them wins it as long as the title ends up with The Allure.
A graduate of the ROH Dojo, Leon made history in 2015 by competing in the first match in the officially branded Women of Honor division. Since then, Leon’s journey has taken her across the globe, competing with the best in ROH and Japan’s Stardom promotion.
In 2017, she had a strong showing in Stardom’s prestigious 5 Star Grand Prix in Japan, highlighted by a victory over eventual winner Toni Storm.
Has Leon’s time to shine arrived?
