Tonight, ROH presents something of a dream team match as Daizee Haze and Awesome Kong take on Sara Del Rey and Serena Deeb at the Final Battle iPPV.
Live coverage of the match below:
We kick off with a nice video package with Daizee Haze and Sara Del Rey discussing how they’d like to see more competition for women in ROH and their rivalry with each other. They want to test each other and put each other ‘through a battle’.
Del Rey and Serena are out first in matching red gear. Next is Daizee and Kong, now going by ‘Awesome Kong’ in ROH rather than ‘Amazing Kong’.
Daizee & SDR kick things off as Del Rey slams haze onto the mat. Daizee manages to hit a hurricanrana into a roll up but Del Rey kicks out. She later then hits another hurricanrana from the top rope.
Del Rey tags out to Serena who stops Haze from tagging out to Kong. The fans chant ‘CM Punk’ in reference to Serena. As the action is going on, Del Rey runs into the ring with a boot to Kong on the apron. Del Rey tags back in and begins stomping Daizee in the corner before applying an abdominal stretch. She tags out to Serena who applies an abdominal stretch of her own, digging her elbow into Daizee’s side. She then receives some leverage from SDR from the outside, holding her arm from the outside. SDR now tags in and they do the same spot with Del Rey holding Serena’s hand on the outside. As the referee is distracted by Kong, Daizee has Del Rey rolled up and could have had won the match.

This past Monday’s episode of Ring of Honor saw a bout between SHIMMER stars, Rachel Summerlyn and Sara Del Rey, watch below:
This week on ROH, Daizee Haze faces off against Rachel Summerlyn. Check it out below:
After both women make their way to the ring, they graciously shake hands as the referee calls for the bell. They briefly circle the ring before Daizee secures Rachel into a side head lock. Rachel then slowly backs her up into the turnbuckle, forcing Daizee to break the hold before hitting her with a back elbow. Rachel tries to take advantage of the cheap shot by running to the other turnbuckle and then charging back at Daizee, who gets her feet into the air and knock Rachel down. Daizee gives Rachel time to gather herself and tries to go after her before being taken down by a drop told hold.
Rachel then applies a headlock of her own to Daizee. They both get to their feet when Daizee tries to squat down and break the hold, but Rachel counters it into a wristlock. She is able to keep the hold on for about a minute before Daizee does a front roll and reverses the wrist lock on to Rachel. She then twists Rachel’s arm and flips her on her back while keeping the arm hold applied. Daizee switches the hold to where she is able to put more pressure on the upper arm of Rachel before putting her in another headlock.
