SportsTranscript
00:00This match is set for one call with a 30-minute time limit, and it is for the IWGP Women's Championship.
00:08Approaching the ring is the challenger, wrestling out of Norwich, England, Alex Winsor.
00:17The longest-reigning Rev Pro Undisputed British Women's World Champion, 769 days.
00:25That title, the same one, held by Mercedes Monáe, 16-year veteran, nearly defeated the Ring of Honor Women's World Champion, Athena, to end that reign here tonight trying to make history by defeating this woman for the IWGP Women's World title.
00:44Her opponent, wrestling out of Tokyo, Japan, she is the IWGP Women's Champion, Saree!
00:59Big match, man. The Sun God making her way to the ring. How appropriate here in the Sunshine State.
01:08And, you know, an argument can be made that right now, Saree is the best international women's wrestler, the best non-domestic, non-U.S. wrestler in the world.
01:23And that's some lofty company. That includes Toni Storm. That includes Jamie Hayter. That includes her opponent, Alex Winsor.
01:31It is amazing company to be in. But her 110 days as IWGP Women's Champion certainly bolster that resume.
01:44Rukabani, it's a big moment, man. The Women's Champion of New Japan is getting ready to defend her title here on Ring of Honor.
01:51It's got to be a mark in history, but this is a big deal for Windsor. A big deal for Saree and a big deal for us.
01:57Absolutely. There it is. The IWGP Women's Championship.
02:06And Mike Posey, our official calling for the Code of Honor. Code of Honor is adhered to.
02:13The bell is off. And we are living in history.
02:18Yeah.
02:18As the greatest Red Pro British Women's Champion of all time, taking on the fifth IWGP Women's Champion in an international clash.
02:31This is a pay-per-view main event, Rukabani.
02:34Yeah, this is incredible.
02:35As the collar and elbow tie up here, you see both athletes trying to sink low, sink the hips lower than the other.
02:41And Windsor trying to use that power advantage that she may have of Saree, but it's not clear yet.
02:49Only thing clear is that they broke the ropes there, and Saree came in with a business on her mind.
02:54No smiles or anything. Just straight business.
02:56She knows a lot about Windsor. They've been tagging for a long time, so they're very familiar with one another.
03:01So let's see how this goes, the approach, how long this makes friends who anger show his face.
03:08What's going to happen here?
03:10That's a great question. The hammerlock here from Windsor.
03:14Saree trying to grab a hold of the headlock does.
03:16Gets into a more comfortable position, one that she can kind of ride Windsor down with and grind that out.
03:22Exactly what she did to bring Windsor down to a level of neutralizing that strength there.
03:26But Windsor, arm over, is breaking that leverage.
03:29It's going to break through that headlock. Yeah.
03:31You can leverage for that.
03:33Windsor's using her height advantage to break leverage and break planes
03:36and see how long she can do this for.
03:39It's a smart move, but fans, if you notice, Saree, every time Saree's able to drop the hips lower than Windsor,
03:44it allows her, as in Saree, to get out of the holds.
03:49And this time, Saree trying to brute force it.
03:51That might not work. Off the ropes, push off, nice drop down.
03:55Cup wheel out, big kick to the side.
03:57Windsor's a great wrestler, man.
04:00Swing and a miss on the clothesline.
04:01We saw Windsor nearly defeat Athena for the ROH Women's World title.
04:05Nice standing switch there.
04:06Up and no.
04:08Brought back down, big back elbow.
04:10Off the ropes, nice drop down there by Windsor.
04:12Rolling through Saree.
04:13Saree.
04:13Nice.
04:14Beautiful arm drag.
04:15The two women who know who they are, they know their size,
04:19they know if they have the offer,
04:20they've embraced it and they bring it to the table.
04:23And evenly matched.
04:28It's almost as if each woman's strength is the other's,
04:34you know, is the one thing the other can counter.
04:36Yeah, it's the caveat, man.
04:37It's exactly what it is, man.
04:40It's a lot of people, when they grow up wrestling,
04:42and they've been in wrestling for a long time,
04:44like Saree, who started wrestling when she was 15,
04:47sometimes you feel like you want to get bigger,
04:48you want to do this,
04:49and then there's a time when you embrace who you are.
04:51Oh, my goodness, what's his pen?
04:53Whoa!
04:54Sliding out.
04:55Saree, pulling up the pace.
04:57Big drop kicked downstairs.
04:59Once you embrace who you are,
05:01the world needs to watch out,
05:02and that's exactly what Saree's done.
05:06And now Saree looking for the Irish whip on the night,
05:09where we saw the always world title on the line.
05:13See a shot like that from Windsor, man.
05:14That's survival right there, man.
05:16She knows she's in trouble.
05:17You don't really see shots like that coming from Windsor,
05:19especially with someone that she respects,
05:22so she knows she's turning up the notch here.
05:24Yeah.
05:25Turn up the aggression.
05:26Cover.
05:27Two.
05:29It's a course correction move,
05:30almost a desperation move,
05:32and it worked out for Windsor,
05:34the challenger,
05:35back in control.
05:37Well, I was wondering who was going to be the aggressor,
05:39and now we see it's going to be Windsor here.
05:42And the leg's great find here.
05:44Windsor putting the pressure on the lower spine,
05:47and now rocking back
05:49with those shins,
05:51the points of those shins
05:52into the vertebrae of Saree.
05:55Oh.
05:56Oh, wait a minute.
05:57Two.
05:58Man, the wherewithal of Saree, man,
06:00to be in that much pain
06:01to understand where she's at
06:02says a lot about
06:03the caliber of athlete she is.
06:05She's trying for this octopus
06:06to break through that arm to get it.
06:11And...
06:11And that ball and socket joint
06:15of the shoulder.
06:16The point of the elbow
06:17into the hip flexor.
06:18Got it, Riccoboni.
06:20That elbow is everything, man.
06:21It's keeping Windsor
06:22from going any further, too.
06:24Yeah.
06:25Oh, has to drop down.
06:26Might be a fortuitous move there
06:28from Windsor,
06:28but Saree keeps it locked in,
06:30and the elbow
06:31keeps driving away
06:32at that hip.
06:33Right now,
06:34the torque is on his shoulders there.
06:38Yes, he's going to get it.
06:40Windsor to the ropes
06:42to break things up.
06:45Yeah, but the damage is done, man.
06:46Stretching out your body,
06:47the hip, the shoulders,
06:49the core.
06:51Oh, look at this.
06:53And feigning
06:54some ignorance there.
06:57Saree,
06:58no one home.
07:00Windsor,
07:00able to get on her feet.
07:02Big shot kick.
07:03The champ
07:03from the apron to the outside.
07:05The challenger now
07:06following the champion
07:08looking for something.
07:10Big here
07:10gets the cannonball.
07:14You knocked that one home.
07:21And it's hard not to like
07:22anybody in this match, man.
07:23It's,
07:24everybody in this match
07:25has potential.
07:26You want Saree to
07:27obtain the title,
07:27but to see Windsor win
07:29the championship here
07:30on Ring of Honor
07:31would be a tremendous
07:32showing.
07:34Oh, my goodness.
07:36What an accomplishment
07:37it would be.
07:39That's Saree
07:40with Windsor.
07:41just sending Windsor
07:44back into the ring.
07:45And I don't know
07:45anybody more familiar
07:47with Saree
07:47on this roster
07:48than Windsor.
07:49This would be
07:50the most comparable
07:51fight
07:52for Saree.
07:54Well, absolutely.
07:54They were like
07:55ships in the night
07:55in Japan.
07:56They formed a friendship.
07:57Big shot kick.
07:58When their paths
07:59finally did cross,
08:00it's now Saree
08:01trying to bring Windsor
08:03to her feet.
08:04Windsor trying to keep
08:05those hips low.
08:07Saree grabbing that hair,
08:08man.
08:09She's being a little
08:09aggressive as well.
08:10She knows that.
08:12What's that championship?
08:14Double stomps
08:14in the bread basket.
08:15May have knocked
08:16the win out of her.
08:17Cover to Saree.
08:19Two count only.
08:22Saree kept Windsor
08:25there after that pin.
08:25She didn't let her
08:26go anywhere.
08:27Keeping her close.
08:28Smart move.
08:29Looking for the
08:29Fisherwoman.
08:30Got it.
08:31The bridge on the toes,
08:32two,
08:33with the extra leverage.
08:35Gets two and a half.
08:39And Saree,
08:40high energy,
08:41high octane offense.
08:44Trying to pick up
08:45the pace here.
08:47The damage done
08:47to both athletes.
08:49Saree's playing chess.
08:50She's allowing Windsor
08:51to get to a feet.
08:52That's a problem.
08:53Yeah.
08:54That diving headbutt
08:55we've seen.
08:56Windsor give up
08:57her own body.
08:57The strength.
08:59Just peeling.
09:00Saree off the ropes.
09:02Power bomb there.
09:03Two.
09:04No.
09:05We barely out of that
09:08and right here
09:08we go for that
09:09sharpshooter.
09:10This is what she won
09:11with last week.
09:12Yes, indeed.
09:13That Windsor lock.
09:16That Windsor
09:17version of the
09:18sharpshooter.
09:19Three counters.
09:20Three counters.

11:27Yeah, they're going
11:28at it now with the body.
11:29Perfectly legal.
11:30Open hands exchanged.

11:52was saying
11:52everything's out the window.
11:54Whoever wins, win.
11:55That dropkick
11:56may have done it.
11:58That's saying

12:00That's exactly
12:01what Saree is doing.
12:03Challenger rattled.

13:32Pulling out all stops.
13:33Okay!
13:34Didn't see that coming.
13:36But now dragging
