During the entrances, Davienne shouted “where’s Ashley?”, in reference to her retort… in truth, Ashley Vox was off the show with fatigue after having her second covid vaccine. From the opening lock-up, Davienne took Exo to the corner as we had a rather tentative opening.
A suplex-like headlock takedown gets Exo a one-count, but Davienne replies with a front facelock of her own that Exco escaped as she turned in for a hammerlock. A series of one-counts builds up as Davienne bridges out of a cover and gets a near-fall from a backslide. The evenness continues as Exo’s side headlock led to her being pushed into the ropes, before she got knocked down… Exo’s right back up to slap Davienne ahead of a series of elbows led to Davienne getting taken into the corner and eventually to the floor.
Ring of Honor Wrestling TV (Episode 502)
Taped in Baltimore, Maryland at UMBC Arena
Aired May 1, 2021 in syndication and on SBG regional sports networks, available Mondays on FITE.TV
The ROH opening video aired… Quinn McKay checked in from the studio and hyped this week’s matches along with her own match against Angelina Love that will air on next week’s show. McKay said she’s excited and nervous, but she’s hoping to get things back on the right track…
Powell’s POV: I am really looking forward to the McKay vs. Love match, but that doesn’t have much to do with the build on the weekly television show. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been much build to speak of. Rather, it’s something they built up online, which is a shame because McKay is a likable personality and her debut on the show should feel bigger than it does for viewers who are only watching the weekly show.
