Rok-C gets a win on Women’s Division Wednesday; Nicole Savoy and Mandy Leon added to the tournament

Today is Wednesday, and if you are a fan of ROH then you know what that means. It is Women’s Division Wednesday and this week’s match-up involved two women that kicked off the weekly show in April – Rok-C and Laynie Luck.

The last time we saw these two in the ring together it was the first episode of the series and it was in tag team action. Rok-C partnered with Max the Impaler while Luck had Hyan by her side. The match was impressive and lasted to the 15-minute time limit making it a draw. This time, Rok-C was able to best Luck by hitting Code Red to get the three count for the victory.

Rok-C has already found herself with a ticket to gold. This summer we will be seeing a ROH Women’s Title Tournament to crown a brand new champion with a new lineage set to begin. Rok-C was the first woman announced for the tournament. Two names were added this week and those are Nicole Savoy and ROH veteran, Mandy Leon.

Savoy was selected to be in the tournament by fan request. Maria Kanellis-Bennett delivered her the good news and let her know that her name kept coming up with the fans and they overwhelming begged to see her in this tournament. Savoy has worked for ROH before and has done tours in Japan. She has also worked all over the United States and has done work for various all-female promotions.

When Leon was told the news, she expected it. She already assumed.

The full line-up so far for the tournament is as follows:

  • Rok-C
  • Allysin Kay
  • Trish Adora
  • Miranda Alize
  • Mazzerati
  • Willow
  • Angelina Love (bye-in first round)
  • Vita VonStarr
  • Mandy Leon
  • Nicole Savoy

With Leon getting her spot as a veteran, what other ROH veterans do you still seeing getting their spots? Anymore newcomers?

Vita VonStarr receives her golden ticket into the ROH Women’s Title Tournament

Vita VonStarr received her golden ticket from Maria Kanellis Bennett on this week’s Women’s Division Wednesday. VonStarr was not part of this week’s match but she did go one-on-one with Sumie Sakai a number of weeks ago. Vonstarr was joined by Bateman backstage who was convincing Maria to allow her to enter the tournament.

Bateman explains that VonStarr holding her own against Sakai should be enough to get her a golden ticket plus this would make Vincent happy. Maria agreed and said that VonStarr can join the tournament but under a condition. She is all for handing out opportunities for women who are focused on the division. Maria says VonStarr needs to stop getting involved in any of the men’s matches or she is out.

As for the match that took place this week, it was a tag team match in which three of the women have already received their spots for the tournament. Miranda Alize teamed up with Sumie Sakai to face Trish Adora and Mazzerati. After quite the battle, Alize locked in the Miranda Rights on Mazzerati which caused her to tap out.

This is Sakai’s second win since the start of Women Division Wednesday’s and as a former champion herself she has yet to be granted a ticket to gold. Alize, Mazzerati, and Adora have all previously received their spots in the upcoming tournament. They join Rok-C, Allysin Kay, and Willow who have earned their spots as well — and now VonStarr. Angelina Love has earned a first round bye to the tournament by defeating Quinn McKay.

After this week’s tag match, the four competitors showed their good sportsmanship as they shook hands in the ring. Max the Impaler then made their way down to the ring and cleared out the ring thus making a huge statement. Max has been in two matches since the start of Women’s Division Wednesday and has yet to earn their ticket into the tournament. After Max clears the ring, Amy Rose comes out from the back and claps giving her approval.

Although not part of this week’s show Alex Gracia has posted a promo telling Maria that she deserves to be part of the tournament. Gracia took on Willow last week in a losing effort.

Red Velvet speaks on scary spot she took on this week’s AEW Dynamite

On this week’s Dynamite, Red Velvet took on The Bunny. During the match, Velvet hit a suicide dive landing on her opponent awkwardly on the outside.

She took to her social media moments ago to confirm that she is doing good and appreciated everyone for their concerns.

Velvet was able to continue this match and even picked up the win after delivering Just Desserts.

This one-on-one match was booked as a result of what took place on Elevation this past week resulting in Velvet wanting some revenge. In a tag team match which paired up The Bunny & Nyla Rose taking on Velvet & Big Swole, The Bunny took advantage of the referee being distracted and struck Swole with brass knuckles. This allowed Rose to pick up the win.
