00:00It had Billy Starks World Television title,
00:05Athena calling her shot for the Pure title?
00:08This match is set for one fall with a 15-minute time limit,
00:11and it will be contested under Pure Wrestling rules.
00:16Approaching the ring wrestling in the beginning, West Africa, Queen Aminata.
00:25She's your queen to me.
00:34Her opponent, Ellison Caine.
00:39And what an opponent Queen Aminata has drawn for this women's Pure match.
00:48And if Billy Starks wants to become the first Pure champion to add to her list of firsts,
00:53you may have a rematch maybe in the finals with Queen Aminata.
00:59Absolutely, man.
01:00I'm thinking Queen Aminata, if you think about people that are made for the Pure title,
01:05there's some wrestlers that you can name off there,
01:07and I would definitely say that Queen Aminata is someone made for the Pure title.
01:11And Ellison Caine here is probably one of the strongest women in the division.
01:16It's going to be a great matchup for Queen Aminata,
01:18and I kind of want to see how Ellison Caine plays along with the rules of Pure Wrestling division.
01:24Well, I know we have a lot of first-time Ring of Honor viewers who may be joining us.
01:28This may be their first Pure match. This is only the second ever women's Pure match.
01:33And the rules are simple. You see the three red dashes underneath each competitor's name.
01:38They're taking up rope breaks.
01:44I think Ellison's still getting used to the rules there.
01:47Rope break window number one before Ellison Caine.
01:50And if those are exhausted, you can pin your opponent underneath, between, on, in the ropes.
01:56Pin or submit. Now, you see the countdown clock.
01:59There's a ten-minute time limit. Should it go the full-time limit, it goes to the judges.
02:04Our panel includes Dean Malenko, Jerry Lynn, and Pat Buck this week.
02:09No close fists. You get one as a warning. A second result of a disqualification.
02:16A 20 count on the outside. There's a waistlock here between Aminata.
02:20And these matches are a little bit more technical-based, a more scientific-based, Caprice.
02:24The more scientific base, you can only strike one time.
02:27No, no, no, no, no!
02:28And I believe Ellison Caine was getting used to the rules there.
02:30Oh, no, no, no!
02:32Trying to get a straight arm here. Trying to push that long through.
02:35They're breaking loose. That is a strong grip from Aminata.
02:40And the stack.
02:43I think you're right. I think Ellison Caine was getting used to the rules,
02:46but it's Aminata now with the face lock.
02:49Almost into a cross face.
02:51And you see how Aminata's allowing Ellison to ride through.
02:54She's not keeping Ellison from going to the ropes.
02:56She's almost helping Ellison get to the ropes.
02:59Yep.
03:00Or to force into this ring-style move. Look at that, Aminata!
03:04This might be a tap right here.
03:06But Ellison, see? That's the second rope break.
03:10There are going to be women in this division recombine in there.
03:13They're just not going to be able to catch on to the peer division rules,
03:16just like some men can't.
03:18Ellison Caine.
03:19Oh! That's a closed fist!
03:21Yep.
03:22Ellison Caine has been issued a warning for the use of a closed fist strike to the face.
03:26Wow!
03:27She is so frustrated.
03:28Well, absolutely.
03:29Some people with the peer title rules will frustrate you.
03:34Certainly hasn't frustrated the men's champion Lee Moriarty,
03:37who last year won the title in Texas this year.

04:06And some fine detail work there from Ellison Caine,
04:13who delivers a fallaway slam.
04:15There's some things that Ellison Caine does well,
04:17and that is the displays of strength that she's able to pull out of nowhere.
04:23But this fighting style is what Ellison Caine is used to,
04:26and I think she's showing that her style may not work in the period of vision.
04:31Everything she does seems to work against her one way or another.
04:36Well, it looks like she's catching on now.
04:38And look at that.
04:39Biting the finger.
04:40That was so violent.
04:44Whoa!
04:46That's an open hand.
04:47Open hands are legal.
04:49Oh!
04:50Double open hand.
04:52That was double legal then, Rick.
04:54Double legal.
04:55Yes.
04:56Extremely legal.
04:59Still the same 20 count.
05:02And it is Aminata who gets caught coming in through the ropes.
05:08Ellison Caine, wait a minute.
05:09She's looking for a submission inside the ropes.
05:12Thought maybe looking to force a rope break there.
05:14See that?
05:15Even Ellison Caine there.
05:16Wow!
05:17And that butterfly.
05:18I look like I'm going to lay on her head.
05:20Two?
05:21But even Ellison Caine instinctively bringing Aminata into the middle of the ring
05:26before she does a move.
05:27And Aminata is doing stuff on the side of the ring close to the ropes.
05:31It's little things like that that shows the strategy that the wrestlers are thinking.
05:35Oh!
05:36And this is a great match for Aminata.
05:39Already announced for the tournament along with Serena Deeb, Layla Gray, Taya Valkyrie,
05:45Deanna Purrazzo, and now Billy Starks.
05:48Aminata has shown a lot of guts to go back and forth with AK.
05:52AK brings it hard.
05:54One of the heaviest hitters.
05:57Wow!
05:58It is Ellison Caine, but you could say that about Aminata, who delivers that big forearm
06:02off the ropes.
06:03Big boot blocks the lariat off the ladder with a kick.
06:06Oh, she may have knocked Aminata out.
06:08Cover here!
06:09Just a one count.
06:10Oh, that's...
06:13See, Aminata realized she almost lost it just that fast.
06:17Now, Ellison would have rolled through.
06:19Submission attempt from Ellison.
06:20My goodness, locked in.
06:21Yeah!
06:22These hammer elbows!
06:23Aminata trying to bridge out of it.
06:25Locked in the head scissors, said it's Aminata.
06:28Now, rolled through the bridge.
06:29Two.
06:30Two count only.
06:31Whoa!
06:32Oh, my goodness!
06:34The crack of the skull!
06:37And it is Aminata!
06:41Wow!
06:42The largest muscle in the human body being driven into the skull of Ellison Caine.
06:49Yep.
06:50You don't have anything to add to that, Caprice?
06:53Nope!
06:54Oh!
06:55Oh!
06:56Oh!
06:57Alison...
06:58Alison Kay is down.
06:59Look at that.
07:00The legs.
07:01Figure forward.
07:02No!
07:03Inside figure four.
07:04That's a new lace with a body.
07:05Whoa!
07:06Great trap here!
07:10And that's it!
07:11The winner of this match, by submission, Queen Aminata.
07:22And it has been Aminata who has been steadfast in her belief that should there be a women's
