Sumie Sakai

Rok-C & Miranda Alize team up prior to their upcoming title match

by

Rok-C and Miranda Alize are ready to make history as one of them will become the new ROH Women’s World Champion on Sunday at Death Before Dishonor.

Prior to crowning the first champion under the rejuvenation of ROH’s women’s division, the two competitors had to coexist on the same side of the ring in tag team action on Women’s Division Wednesday. Their opponents were Chelsea Green and former Women of Honor Champion Sumie Sakai.

Prior to the match airing, Ring of Honor displayed a graphic for the passing of Daffney. Alyssa Marino and Maria Kanellis Bennett said a few words on Daffney before the broadcast. Maria explained how Daffney made it okay for misfits to be misfits and to be unapologetic. ROH will honor Daffney at the pay-per-view this Sunday.

Alize & Rok-C gelled extremely well as a team together despite having a huge match against each other this coming Sunday. The two were able to defeat Sakai and Green in a solid tag team bout which saw Alize pin Sakai after delivering Drive-by. Alize & Rok-C had also recently teamed together and came out with a win against Green and Willow at Glory By Honor. That was Green’s first match to air on ROH.

After the match, Maria and Alyssa had some great interviews with Quest for Gold tournament standout Trish Adora, NWA Women’s World Tag Team Champions The Hex, and Miranda Alize.

Check back in with Diva Dirt this Sunday for a ROH Death Before Dishonor Discussion Post.

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.

Hana Kimura, Stella Grey, and Sumie Sakai vs. Jenny Rose and Oedo Tai – G1 Supercard ROH

by

In April of 2019, Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro-Wrestling co-produced an event called G1 Supercard. From that event came a dark match which we have decided to make this week’s Free Match Friday. It is to highlight the late Hana Kimura.

Last weekend, Kimura tragically left this earth. At such a young age of 22, Kimura was a bright star and her talent was unmistakable. Her appearance along with Oedo Tai (Kagetsu and Hazuki) highly represented Stardom.

It is clear that Kimura was the next big thing. She is loved and missed by many.

Please enjoy this match and discuss what you thought of it in the comment section below.

If you are a Stardom fan, discuss other favorite matches of Hana’s that you enjoyed as well.

R.I.P Hana Kimura –

We all need to do better and love one another.
