The change of ROH championship title during the ROH shutdown may sound a bit paradoxical at first glance, but it is not difficult to understand at all, because although the company has been suspended, several champions have not been idle. At last week's "Hard To Kill" competition, the current ROH world champion Jonathan Gresham has just finished a defending championship in the ring of IMPACT, and this week's IMPACT weekly competition, the ROH women's champion also ushered in her own belt defense battle, but she is not as lucky as Jonathan
As early as a month ago in the Final Battle competition, Diana Prazzo, one of the actresses of IMPACT, took the AAA women's championship belt to the "Glory Ring" to issue a letter to Rok-C, and the winner-take-all game between the two champions was finally staged in this week's show
Although Deanna had not been able to win back the IMPACT women's title from Mickey James, this did not prevent her from climbing to the peak of the double title. In the face of the fierce attack of the post-00 young general Rok-C, Deanna can be described as a trick, most of the time she plays with ease, and takes the opponent's left arm as the key target of attack, so that the power of the Rok-C lock technique is greatly reduced, not to mention, it is still in a critical moment, using her signature locking technique Fujiwara Armbar to successfully surrender the opponent, and once again experience the honor of two gold belts!
However, the performance here is not over, Maria Kanellis, who is falsely known as the "first lady of the wrestling world", actually took the stage as the founder of the ROH women's championship title after the game, and directly asked Deanna to "return the belt to its original owner" in public.
Of course, such an unreasonable request for Diana will agree no matter what, as soon as she turns around, she is surrounded by Several wolf-like ROH players such as Matt Taven, Michael Bennett, Vincent, etc. Although the partners Matthew Rehwoldt and Rich Swann and Willie Mack appear in time to break the siege, they are outnumbered in the end, and the local players of IMPACT are finally left with only the part of being beaten and lying down
Now that the ROH women's title has been pocketed by Deanna, this basically means that when ROH restarts in April this year, it will never be a league alone, working with IMPACT, or "invasion" from a plot point of view
Deanna is an IMPACT player, and the two belts in her hand will sooner or later achieve "homecoming". At present, the competition in the U.S. wrestling world can be said to be very clearly divided into two paths, on the one hand, it is like the kind of gunfire between WWE and AEW; on the other hand, it is simply competing for the top spot in the independent world, impact, ROH and other companies that play on the survival line obviously belong to the latter
I believe that for a long time in the future, the cooperation, trading and even merger of various small alliances will contribute to the birth of a new set of operating rules and discourse rights for the independent community...
