This week, the AEW's acquisition of ROH officially went through all the process, and Tony Khan finally became the official owner of ROH, so on this day of celebration, Dynamite program of course made a lot of big things, such as the finalization of the "Owen Hart Cup" championship lineup, and the unification of the ROH provisional women's champion and the ROH world women's champion
After more than a month of competition, the "Owen Hart Cup" men's and women's categories have become clearer, and this week Dynamite and Rampage are competing for the only places except for the mysterious player "Joker"
In the contest between Bobby Fish and Jeff Hardy, although "Uncle Fish" once almost locked Jeff, the disparity between the two sides finally made him unable to win, and at the critical moment, Jeff qualified for the tournament with "Hitting in the Wind" and "Full Moon Curved Knife"!
Another showdown between Rey Fenix and Dante Martin, the quality of the game is undoubtedly far superior to the previous Jeff and Bobby, even called the quality of the night can not be overstated, the two high-flying players did not hesitate to present the audience with a flowing confrontation
In the end, although Dante Martin successfully sacrificed a move of Poisonrana, but the Nose Dive that followed him pounced, and It was at this time that Phoenix found the opportunity to counter the opponent's hug and cast a slightly gentle Fénix Driver to successfully qualify for the Owen Hart Championship!
At this point, all 7 contestants except "Joker" have been finalized, namely Rey Phoenix, Kyle O'Reilly, Samoa Joe, Jeff Hardy, Darby Irene, Adam Cole and Dax Harwood. The first round of knockouts begins next week, and the final will be staged in the "Double or Nothing" competition at the end of this month
In the women's category, the last seat outside of "Joker" will be revealed in this week's Rampage show, but it has actually been recorded so far, and under a small spoiler, the original AEW women's champion Ribu defeated Yuka Sakazaki to win the ticket to this tournament
But then again, even if the Owen Hart Cup were significant, they wouldn't be comparable to a formal title, not even a belt that would most likely be banned in the near future
In this week's Dynamite home game, ROH women's world champion Diana Prazzo played a long-for-term "championship united battle" with interim women's champion Mercedes Martinez.
"Mercedes Sister" won the temporary gold belt in the ROH reboot event "Supercard of Honor" in early April, and Diana lost to the ROH women's champion at the IMPACT "Rebellion" in late April, but after just over a week, she completely ended the 537-day championship rule that has been going back and forth between leagues
In fact, Deanna is more suitable for holding the championship than Mercedes in all aspects, but the purpose of the "provisional champion" is to impact the official champion, plus Mercedes-Benz sister is the first provisional champion winner, Deanna's term of office is long enough, so in the end, the Mercedes locks Diana and ascends to the top of the ROH women's world championship!
You may not believe it, the Mercedes-Benz sister who has won countless crowns in the independent world is still the first time to be officially crowned the ROH women's champion, congratulations, how long do you think she can keep this title in her forties?
