Royalty invades Ring of Honor 

 

Yesterday  ROH heald their 13th anniversary PPV live from Las Vegas. One of the matches on that card was  the Young Bucks taking on the Tag Team champions reDRagons. During this match something very special happened, reDRagon had a certain queen acompony them to the ring and that Queen was none other then the Queen of Spades Shayna Baszler.

Anyone who has been following this site for the last year knows that Shayna is one of our biggest supporters and a good friend; so I speak for everyone here when I say it was indeed a huge mark out moment.

One thing that I loved was that the commentators made sure that fans knew who she was by highlighting the fact that she is a pioneer of WMMA and a catch wrestler. The match many great moments but here is a break down of Baszler’s involvement and what it lead to.

The crowd was upset at Fish for even kicking out.More Bang For Your Buck almost got the three, but Baszler pulls the ref out. The Bucks chase down Baszler, but Kyle comes out of nowhere and takes them out. A big tornado DDT sets up a top rope Falcon Arrow from Fish. Chasing the Dragon doesn’t get the pin as Matt Jackson pulls the ref out! ReDRagon keeps the advantage with a DDT/wheelbarrow suplex keeps the advantage, followed by Chasing the Dragon for the 3 count.

There you have it folks legendary Shayna Baszler had a hand in a great victory. Could this be a sign of more to come? We all know Baszler has a love for Professinal wrestling and I know I wouldn’t mind seeing her in the squared circle. Only time will tell.

One thing is for sure though we here at WrestlingNewsBlog couldn’t be any happier for Shayna and we are honored that we get to share this moment with you all
