Sumie Sakai is now in the ROH Women’s Title Tournament; Allie Recks gets the offer but unable to accept due to injury

by

The first-ever women’s champion in the history of ROH has finally received her golden ticket to the upcoming Quest for Gold Women’s Title Tournament. Sumie Sakai received a call from Board of Directors Maria Kanellis Bennett to receive the offer that she gladly accepted. With only a few spots left it makes sense for Sakai to be in this tournament. A tournament to crown a new champion for the new title.

Kanellis made another call to give out a second ticket to gold. This time it went to Allie Recks. In a heart wrenching moment, Recks wasn’t able to accept her ticket and place in the ROH Women’s Title Tournament. She explained that during her recent match with Max the Impaler on Women’s Division Wednesday her knee wasn’t feeling right and she tried to power through it. She found herself in surgery for her knee and due to her injury she will be out for at least eight to nine months.

On this week’s pre-taped Women Division Wednesday, Recks was in action teaming up with Gia Scott as they faced Sakai and Willow. Despite some disconnect between the team of Recks and Scott, Recks was able to secure a big victory as she speared Willow to get the pin.

Sakai joins the following women who will be in the upcoming tournament. The brackets will be announced this Sunday at ROH’s Best in the World.

  • Angelina Love (earned first-round bye)
  • Rok-C
  • Miranda Alize
  • Trish Adora
  • Allysin Kay
  • Nicole Savoy
  • Willow
  • Mazzerati
  • Mandy Leon
  • Max the Impaler
  • Alex Gracia
  • Sumie Sakai

Quinn McKay is getting another shot at entering the tournament as it was announced that she will face Mandy Leon in two weeks on ROH TV. Maria will also be handing out two tickets tomorrow. Who will be wrapping up the final spots?

Check back in with Diva Dirt for all news in regards to ROH rebuilding their women’s division and the search to crown a new champion.

Serena Deeb & Kylie Rae pick up a victory; Kenzie Paige faces Kamille for the NWA Women’s Title on July 24

by

NWA is gearing up for two huge events at the end of summer with its first-ever all-women’s pay-per-view Empowerrr along with its 73rd-anniversary show on back-to-back nights. With the help of Mickie James, more eyes are paying attention to women in this promotion.

On this week’s Super Powerrr four women competed in tag team action which included two former NWA World Women’s Champions. Serena Deeb and Kylie Rae faced Thunder Rosa and Skye Blue. Deeb and Rae came out with a win from this exchange which certainly won’t sit right with Rosa.

Although Deeb and Rosa continue to circle the NWA World Women’s Champion Kamille, feeling as though they both should be the next number one contender, Kenzie Paige will get perhaps the biggest opportunity of her young career. Kenzie was recently in a Three Way match against Melina and Jennacide in which Melina won. She has also had matches with AEW in 2020.

Kenzie released a promo that can be seen below that she will be facing Kamille with the prestigious title on the line It will take place on July 24 at an indie event in Charlotte, NC.

NWA also released episode one of Race to the Chase. In this video, you can view the preparation for NWA’s Empowerrr and the value Mickie James holds to this project. Kamille is featured in the discussion.

Check back in with Diva Dirt for all of your news on the women in NWA.

Zelina Vega says she has “unfinished business” with Bianca Belair

by

Zelina Vega shocked the WWE audience when she returned to SmackDown this past Friday. Vega was released from the company in November and reports in May started to swirl noting that she would be making her return. Up until Friday that was pure speculation.

WWE Authority Sonya Deville announced Vega’s returning by adding her into the upcoming Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Vega was on this weekend’s Talking Smack to discuss her return and involvement in the match and which champion she may target if she wins the briefcase. She was also in action on Friday in a losing effort against Liv Morgan who is trying to prove she deserves her own spot in the MITB match.

“I think I have some unfinished business with Bianca [Belair]. If she’s even going to remain champion, although, I’m not really fond of Bayley either. Whoever it’s going to be, that’s who I have my eyes on right now.”

In 2020, Vega and Belair had a rivalry in which Belair came out with victories on numerous occasions. The story writes itself regardless if Vega wins the briefcase or not with her being a potential future opponent for the SmackDown Women’s Champion. Vega also included NXT in the discussion of possible champions to cash in on if she were to win the contract.

She joins Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Naomi, Nikki Cross, and Carmella so far for this upcoming match. Two more names from SmackDown are still to be announced. Belair is set to defend her title against Bayley at Money in the Bank in an “I Quit Match.”

With the names so far announced for the MITB match, do you think Zelina has good odds to win? Join the discussion below.

Bianca Belair vs. Bayley in an “I Quit” match set at Money in the Bank for the SmackDown Women’s Title

by

The stakes continue to pile high surrounding the SmackDown Women’s Championship!

On this week’s SmackDown, Bianca Belair has challenged Bayley with her SmackDown Women’s Title on the line once again to a match at the upcoming Money in the Bank event. However, since Belair defeated Bayley inside Hell in a Cell it can’t be just any ordinary match. The two will battle in an “I Quit” match.

Bayley was able to pin Belair in a Mixed Tag Team Match last week which has placed that chip firmly right back on her shoulder. The Role Model feels that the EST is not living up to the expectations of the WWE Universe and her prior win was just a fluke. Belair feels that Bayley just won’t leave her alone and move on after defeating her over and over again.

After Belair said she wanted this type of match, Bayley started laughing. Once she realized she was serious she was all for it. Bayley says she has never quit anything in her whole life. Adding to the conversation she says that if she utters “I Quit” then she might as well not only quit SmackDown, she should quit the WWE and while she’s at it, wrestling altogether. She says that if Belair says she quits though, Bayley would not be surprised in the least.

What do you think of this stipulation? Will these be the nice cherry on top of this rivalry to end it? Leave your thoughts below.

Grace & Ellering mend their partnership; Knockouts Tag Team Title picture heating up

by

Jordynne Grace and Rachael Ellering have had a rocky road when it comes to their friendship and tag team partnership.

Ever since they lost the Knockouts Tag Team Championships almost as quickly as they won them, the two haven’t been on the same page. Last week, Jazz returned to try and mend their friendship and left the ball in the hands of Grace on how they wanted to move forward.

It appears this week she gave her answer and had Ellering’s back.

Ellering took on Tenille Dashwood in a singles match. Dashwood has been one factor that has been trying to drive a wedge between Ellering and Grace by trying to have Ellering join her and Kaleb with a K. Ellering picked up the much needed win after countering a sunset flip found Dashwood with her shoulders on the match and a count of three.

Post match, Dashwood and Kaleb went after Ellering as Jazz tried her best to help. Grace then rushed to the ring to help clear it out and embraced her tag partner. Do we think this is genuine, or is this just part of a bigger plan for Grace?

Speaking of tag teams, the Knockouts Tag Team picture is heating up.

With Slammiversary just a few weeks away, Rosemary & Havok are looking to prove their newfound tag team is the team to beat. On this week’s IMPACT, they brought this up to Scott D’Amore who said he would take their request for a Knockouts Tag Team Championship match under consideration. He didn’t have to think too hard once the champions Fire ‘N Flava tried to thwart Rosemary & Havok’s request saying that they are barely a team and never earned a championship opportunity. All of this despite Rosemary picking up a win on Kiera Hogan last week.

D’Amore has made it official that Rosemary & Havok will be taking on Kimber Lee & Susan next week. Lee faced her former ally, Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo, on BTI. Purrazzo continued to dominate and much like she took out Susan last week she defeated Lee this week.

Susan and Kimber were seen backstage during IMPACT discussing having to move on from Purrazzo. Lee says there are still the Knockouts Tag Team Championships in their sights and worst-case scenario they have a backup plan. Susan questioned what the backup plan is and Lee says – Su Yung.

Susan then asked “who’s that?”

Did you watch IMPACT this week? What did you think about what went down with the Knockouts? Join the discussion in the comment section below.

Update on Mercedes Martinez’s condition after concerning ending to NXT match

by

Mercedes Martinez took part in a Mixed Tag Team Match on tonight’s NXT alongside Jake Atlas. They teamed up to take on Martinez’s rivals of Tian Sha (Xia Li & Boa).

The match had to be stopped by the referee due to a concerning moment after Li delivered a roundhouse kick to the head of Martinez. Li went for the pin but Martinez couldn’t physically keep her shoulders down although the official was making the count. The official then realized something wasn’t right and she was checking on Martinez as Li backed away. The match was then called.

Concern quickly set in with fans in wanting to make sure that Martinez is okay. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful stated that he would look into it and has received word that Martinez was checked in the back and talent/staff were told that she has been sent to the hospital for further evaluation.

Diva Dirt will provide any further updates to this post as the information is provided.
