Billie Starkz advanced into the next round of the ROH Pure Women’s Championship tournament.
At Death Before Dishonor, Tony Khan officially confirmed a ROH Pure Women’s Championship and eight women were announced for the single-elimination tournament. The full matches are listed below:
- Deonna Purrazzo vs Trish Adora
- Billie Starkz vs Olympia
- Serena Deeb vs Yuka Sakazaki
- Queen Aminata vs. Taya Valkyrie
Taya Valkyrie was the first woman eliminated as Queen Aminata beat her soundly in the first round at Death Before Dishonor. And now Olympia joins Valkyrie as Billie Starkz advanced into the second round of the tournament.
Starkz and Olympia headlined the latest show and Olympia gave the former ROH Women’s Television Champion a run for her money. Olympia had power on her side and she greatly used that to get the better of Starkz. However, Starkz was able to counter into a roll-up that got her the three count.
Now Starkz will fight either Serena Deeb or Yuka Sakazaki in the next round. Meanwhile, trouble keeps brewing between Deonna Purrazzo and Trish Adora. These two exchanged some not so flattering words at Death Before Dishonor.
But tonight, those words turned into fists. Deonna was cutting a promo when Shane Taylor Promotions interrupted her.
There was a little back-and-forth until Trish Adora clocked her in the face. These two will have their match in the first round. It’s not clear when Adora and Deonna will face each other.
Who will become the first woman to hold the ROH Women’s Pure Championship? Stay tuned to the next chapter of Ring of Honor!
