Jazz vs. Ivelisse at Ladies Night Out 5 – 02.23.19

On this week’s Free Match Friday we continue what was started last week and that is to celebrate Black History Month. Last week we revisited WWE Hall of Famer Jacqueline’s win of the Cruiserweight Championship that took place nearly 16-years ago. This week will be a more recent match, but it highlights one of the best in the business – Jazz.

The match that you can view above is from the Ladies Night Out 5 event that took place last year. This is an event that is about to have their 9th installment and is hosted by Reality of Wrestling.

In this match it was Jazz taking on Ivelisse in a Falls Count Anywhere match. The action spilled out all around ringside with a short trip to the stage. Weapons were used throughout such as chairs, a ladder, and cable cords.

In the end though, Jazz would fall victim to Ivelisse after a distraction caused by Barbi Hayden who was on commentary. Jazz would taunt Hayden who then would hop on the ring apron and deliver a punch. Ivelisse capitalizes and hits a DDT on a chair. She rolls up Jazz for the win.

Ruby Riott opens up about her return to RAW in backstage video

Ruby Riott returned to RAW last Monday night and attacked her former Riott Squad comrade – Liv Morgan. Riott returned from a bilateral shoulder injury that had her out of action since right after WrestleMania in April. Two surgeries later, Riott is right back where she belongs, in a WWE ring.

WWE released a video, that you can view above, of her return from a personal and backstage point of view. She first discusses her surgeries and how now she has the full range of motion with her shoulders. The torn labrums she had were 10-years old.

Riott opens up and gets emotional over what leaving wrestling for 10 months meant to her. She states that she suffers from anxiety, depression, and ADHD. As a result of not being in the ring and on the go constantly, she states that she no longer had a distraction from those things during her time off. She had to face them and sought help through a therapist.

She further explains that she feels incredible and that she is ready to use wrestling as her purpose as opposed to a distraction. The video ends with what we saw on Monday and her betrayal on Liv Morgan.
