ROH Women’s World Title Tournament First-Round Match
Willow vs. Allysin Kay
(20-minute time limit)
Willow did a cartwheel and nailed Kay with a superkick. Willow followed with a series of back elbows to the face in the corner, and then she hit a back splash for a two count. Kay hit a running forearm that knocked Willow off the apron. Kay assaulted Willow on the floor and then threw her into the ring and scored a two count. Willow rallied with a hard slap to the face followed by two clotheslines, a spinebuster and a missile dropkick for a near fall.
Kay locked on a sleeper hold, but Willow propelled herself backwards, landing with all her weight on top of Kay for a near fall. Willow hit a cannonball in the corner, but came up empty on a moonsault. Kay nailed Willow with a discus lariat, but Willow rolled to the floor to avoid being pinned. After getting back into the ring, Willow caught Kay with an inside cradle for a near fall. Willow hit a spinning heel kick and hoisted Kay onto her shoulders to set up for the Bae Breaker, but Kay slipped out and applied a Kimura Lock. Willow quickly tapped out at the 11:29 mark.
Kay advances to the quarterfinals, where she will meet the winner of this weekend’s match between Marti Belle and Trish Adora.
