00:00Kicking things off at the Proving Ground here tonight on ROH.
00:07This is an ROH Women's World Television Championship Proving Ground match.
00:14Except for one ball, we make 10 minute time limit.
00:17Introducing first, wrestling from straight out of his kitchen, she is the Ring of Honor,
00:23Women's World Television Champion, Red Velvet.
00:30A lot of tension building up between Red Velvet and Diamante for that Ring of Honor,
00:34Women's World Television Championship.
00:37But this woman could hop the line with a victory or by going the distance.
00:41Her opponent, Allison Kaye.
00:45You down with the AK, Caprice?
00:47Yeah, you know me.
00:50Allison Kaye, very accomplished wrestling star.
00:54One of the longest reigning NWA Women's Champions.
00:58I like that Red Velvet belt, Ricoboni.
01:01Yeah, it matches the gear.
01:05And it's Red Velvet, matches her.
01:07Yeah, it's carnival type.
01:09Allison Kaye.
01:14Power versus finesse right here in speed.
01:17Yeah, you got to watch out for the big lariat from Allison Kaye.
01:20Allison Kaye has been a stalwart in the Ring of Honor Women's Division over the years as well.
01:24Beautiful flying head scissor.
01:26There you go, that's what you need to do.
01:28You're going to need some lethal punches right here.
01:33Yeah, those are generational strikes to the midsection.
01:36Inherited.
01:37Of course her familial line contains multiple Olympic boxers, Caprice.
01:45Look at that split, Ricoboni, can you do that?
01:47I can, but by mistake.
01:49Right.
01:51When I walked out of the house in the wintertime, I slipped on some ice and did that maybe.
01:55Mine was very similar, very similar story, very similar.
01:58That's Red Velvet now off the ropes.
01:59We have a great episode of ROH here tonight, Casa Dora.
02:03Uh-oh.
02:04That's the power of Allison Kaye.
02:09Wheelbarrow, cover.
02:11Two.
02:12Surely a two there.
02:15That was going to have to stay out of the way of Allison.
02:18As she gets up, she's going to use that power, she's going to use that strength.
02:21And every time she does something, she takes the breath right out of you.
02:23Yeah.
02:25And that's the thing about Allison Kaye, Caprice, you're absolutely right.
02:28She'll wear you down, and she's got a number of big moves that she can put your way, including that AK-47 Lariat.
02:35Yeah, and you never know which one you've fallen into, and she just finds out which one fits the best.
02:40Wow.
02:41Now she wins the match.
02:42My goodness, this could be enough.
02:43Two.
02:44And, of course, on the proving ground, if Allison Kaye should win,
02:48she would earn a future title shot at the Ring of Honor World Women's Television Championship.
02:53Or by going the distance and forcing a time limit draw.
02:59Of course, tonight's episode.
03:01Caught.
03:03That's that power.
03:04Absolutely.
03:08Now going for the cover here.
03:09One, two.
03:11Smart move of Red Velvet sliding through the ropes.
03:14Give it more time to recover.
03:16The core of Red Velvet is in a lot of trouble.
03:18That's where Allison Kaye is putting her punishment on.
03:24And doing that now.
03:26Drop kick.
03:27Caught.
03:28Caught by Kaye into the ankle lock.
03:29Allison Kaye blocked that Lariat with right into the ankle lock.
03:33And look at that, just wrenching it in.
03:36And you've got to wonder if maybe Red Velvet is thinking about Diamante.
03:39We've seen those two circles swirling.
03:42Getting to the ropes here.
03:43Yeah, but Riccoboni, you always have that target on your back, man.
03:46You can't trust anybody.
03:47And even her tag team partner is looking for gold, Riccoboni.
03:50Everybody's looking for gold, especially at champions.
03:53Yeah, that's right.
03:54Aminata, the great showing on Dynamite just last night.
04:00And a straight jacket applied here.
04:02Knee to the spine.
04:05Has that leverage going in.
04:07Keeping that knee in there deep.
04:09Forcing her not to be able to get up.
04:10Now letting her up.
04:12That's that leverage right there.
04:13That's what Velvet needs to use that.
04:16Nice wrist lock takeover there.
04:18And it's Red Velvet this time.
04:20Gets the flying head scissor in to the Cobra stretch here.
04:25Yeah, I think AK was trying to block it.
04:27And Velvet anticipated it.
04:29And this is a very smart move.
04:32Wait a second.
04:33Whoa, look at the power.
04:35And a balance and KO.
04:37And Red Velvet.
04:40The agility.
04:42Nice center there.
04:49Balance and KO.
04:50My goodness.
04:51The proven ground challenger.
04:52Big spine buster.
04:53Hooks the leg.
04:54Two.
04:56I don't know if you saw Riccoboni,
04:58but as soon as Red Velvet went in the air,
04:59she was trying an offensive move.
05:00Got caught.
05:01Tried to throw an elbow to save herself.
05:03Before AK took her down.
05:06That's a great call, Caprice.
05:07Now, Alice.
05:10Yeah, Alice AK looking for that gory bomb.
05:12Wait a minute.
05:13Red Velvet.
05:14One, two.
05:15Two count only.
05:17And it's been a great back and forth contest here tonight.
05:19A lot of great action,
05:20including our tag team proving ground main event bookending.
05:24Week's spectacular episode.
05:28They were trying everything to get this champion,
05:30to get AK off her feet.
05:31Swing and a miss.
05:32And it's the powerful Kay who's sent down to the mat.
05:35That's what she needs, momentum.
05:37It worked that time.
05:41And Red Velvet.
05:42I think Velvet's tasting blood, Riccoboni.
05:44On a roll once again.
05:46Casadora.
05:48And Red Velvet.
05:51Driving AK to the mat.
05:52Look at that.
05:53Looks like Alice and Kay's face slammed into the back of Red Velvet's head.
05:59That's got to hurt.
06:05Starting it up.
06:07And it's going straight to.
06:09Yes, indeed.
06:11So we're right into Alice and Kay's kitchen, Riccoboni.
06:13The big knees to the back of the head.
06:18Rolling through now.
06:19Not finished.
06:21And look at Red Velvet.
06:24Got her.
06:25That'll do it, Riccoboni.
06:26I promise you that much.
06:27Two.
06:28Got her.
06:31The winner of this match,
06:32the Ring of Honor Women's World Television Champion,
06:36Red Velvet.
06:39A big victory for the Ring of Honor Women's World Television Champion,
06:42Red Velvet.
06:45As we know.
06:50I don't know if they make belts in velvet.
06:53The blood of a fighter, baby.
06:55Eat, sleep, breathe, wrestling.
06:59Our first rumor got out tonight, Red Velvet victorious fans.
07:02We take a look now at how we got to tonight's main event.
