ROH News: Kelly Klein Officially Enters WOH World Women’s Title Match At Final Battle

Final Battle WOH
The final participant in the WOH World Women’s Title Match at Final Battle is official!

Coming up on December 14th, Ring Of Honor will make its way to the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City for Final Battle, which will be followed by the Final Battle Fallout television tapings the next night in Philadelphia.





While the card for Final Battle seems to primarily be rounded out at this time, one match that had yet to be finalized was the Four Corners Survival Match for the WOH World Women’s Championship as one spot remained open. While the champion Sumie Sakai, Madison Rayne and Karen Q waited to see who their last opponent was, the qualifying match between Kelly Klein and Jenny Rose has now aired with Klein picking up the win. Here’s the official announcement from ROH:

FIELD COMPLETE FOR WOH WORLD TITLE FOUR CORNER SURVIVAL MATCH AT FINAL BATTLE

Ring of Honor’s seminal event, Final Battle, emanates from Manhattan Center’s Hammerstein Ballroom on Friday Dec. 14. Final Battle is ROH’s biggest card of the year and has been the site of some of ROH’s most memorable matches.

All roads lead to the G1 Supercard, co-promoted by ROH and New Japan Pro-Wrestling, at sold-out Madison Square Garden on April 6, 2019, and the results at Final Battle undoubtedly will have an impact on the historic show.

At last year’s Final Battle, the huge announcement was made that a tournament would take place in 2018 to crown the inaugural Women of Honor Champion. One year later, the title will be defended at Final Battle in a Four Corner Survival Match, as Sumie Sakai puts her championship on the line against Madison Rayne, Karen Q and Kelly Klein.

Klein defeated rival Jenny Rose in a qualifying match on the most recent episode of “Ring of Honor Wrestling” to claim the last remaining spot in the Four Corner Survival Match. Rayne and Karen Q previously had won qualifying matches, over Dr. Britt Baker and Kaitlin Diemond, respectively.

Sakai, who won the WOH Title tournament at Supercard of Honor in April and has reigned ever since, has proved to be a fighting champion. Her willingness to defend the title against anyone anywhere around the globe led to the championship being renamed the WOH World Title a few months ago.

The veteran billed from Jersey Shore, Japan will face arguably her toughest test yet when she takes on three formidable challengers at Final Battle.

Klein has been a dominant force in WOH for three years. The “Pretty Badass” went more than 2½ years without being pinned or forced to submit before Sakai pinned her in the finals of the tournament.

Rayne, a 13-year veteran who is no stranger to winning titles, has been as good as ever since making her WOH debut a year ago. She would love to cap what has been an amazing 2018 for her by leaving Final Battle as WOH World Champion.

Karen Q has been impressive since her WOH debut last year, when she made waves by handing Klein her first loss in WOH (by countout). She also has scored victories over Sakai (before Sakai won the title) and Deonna Purrazzo.

Will Sakai defy the odds and retain her title at Final Battle, or will a new champion be crowned?

Mitchell’s AEW Continental Classic Update! (11/27/23)

What a start to the tournament!

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

  • Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
  • Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
  • Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
  • Rush: 0-1, 0 points
  • Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
  • Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

 

Here are your Blue League standings!

  • Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
  • Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
  • Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
  • Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
  • Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
  • Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

 

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
