In 2022, the finals of the Owen Hart Memorial Cup would see Britt Baker defeat Ruby Soho. Originally, we were supposed to get a rematch of this in a first round match – but Baker was out sick. Instead, Soho has a chance to tune up her skills against Alexia Nicole.
Sammy Guevara Has A Message Ahead To The Main Event
Before this match, Sammy Guevara came out with cue cards. They’d say the following.
“You may have to fight a battle more than once to win a war. Sting… Darby… Once again, we’ll do battle. But tonight … we’re winning this war.
Darby Allin, my eternal adversary. We’re destined to fight… FIGHT FOREVER. Tonight! In the main event, it’s not ‘let the fight begin’, it’s ‘let the fight continue’.
Ruby Soho Sends A Message To Britt Baker
Nicole would be calm ahead of the biggest match of her career, but was quickly taken to the mat with a back heel trip. Soho would mock Baker before driving Nicole into the corner, and hit some stomps to the midsection. A boot across the throat would follow, before Nicole was thrown to the floor.
Soho would distract the referee while Saraya & Toni Storm got some cheap shots in, showing that even against a minor threat – The Outcasts don’t change their gameplan.
Two Saito Suplexes would land, and Soho already had this match won. Instead, Soho would send a message by winning with The Lockjaw, the finisher of Baker.
Soho would insult Baker for ducking her tonight, and blamed Canada for getting her sick. When they first met in 2021, Baker claimed that Soho didn’t know who she was.
That was true at the time, but Soho knows exactly who she is now. Last year, Baker barely beat Soho on her best day – and now Soho is better than ever. Next week, Soho gets her long awaited revenge, and leaves Baker with nothing.
Sting Gets All The Time He Wants With The Painmaker Tonight
Chris Jericho wanted nothing to do with a match against Sting, but Forbidden Door would lead him into a trios match – and his fourth PPV loss in a row. Furious, he would challenge Sting & Allin to a Tornado Tag Team match tonight, and intends to bring out his Painmaker persona.
Sting & Allin are undefeated in AEW with a 16-0 record, and tonight will look to maintain that record. In the The Painmaker persona – Jericho is undefeated in AEW, with a 3-0 record. It’s Jericho in his most violent form, and a no rules match suits that perfectly.
