Lady Frost details signing with MLW hours into free agency

Posted on by Rosanne Raphael

Lady Frost is now officially signed to MLW a few hours after confirming her AEW exit. 

Speaking with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Lady Frost cited she was a free agent for a matter of hours before putting pen to paper with MLW. 

“I was only a free agent for a matter of hours, we can say, which feels pretty good.”

Lady Frost detailed what led to her decision to sign with the promotion. MLW had been following her career for quite a while and they remembered her from a taping attended nearly six years ago. 

“Honestly, they called right away and it was the phone call that I think I needed to hear. They have been following me for a long time. I showed up to a taping about six years ago. I wasn’t even an extra, just to get my name out there. They remembered me and have been following my journey. I posted, I think, which created a good amount of interest, a promo package and vignette, and they said, ‘We love your work.’ I said, ‘That’s the direction that I want to go. This is kind of where I see my career going.’ They wanted to be on board with letting me be creative and who I want to be as an artist and pro wrestler. So I loved the call and I thought it was a really great fit for right now. So that’s where I landed.”

Frost last competed on AEW in January this year against Mina Shirakawa. She penned a heartfelt message appreciating Tony Khan’s support in light of her departure from the promotion.

Lady Frost’s time as a free agent was short.

Frost revealed on social media on Wednesday that her AEW contract had expired, thanking Tony Khan for her time with the promotion.

According to a report from Fightful, Major League Wrestling had immediate interest in Frost following the expiration of her contract, and the two sides have reached a deal.

Sean Ross Sapp wrote:

“MLW immediately made a play to sign Lady Frost upon her reaching free agency and signed her, @FightfulSelect has learned”

Details on the length of Frost’s deal with MLW have not been disclosed, but she is said to be booked for several upcoming tapings. Upcoming events for the promotion include April 12 in Charleston, South Carolina, May 9 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, June 11 in New York, and two shows on June 12 and 13 in Philadelphia.

Frost’s last match for AEW was a loss to Mina Shirakawa on the January 10, 2026 AEW Collision taping in Arlington. Prior to that, she lost to Diamante on the ROH Supercard of Honor 2025 pre-show.

Lady Frost confirms AEW departure, thanks ‘incredibly kind and passionate’ Tony Khan

Update —

It’s being reported that Lady Frost has quickly signed with MLW after the end of her AEW contract.

**********

Lady Frost is entering free agency with a positive attitude following her departure from AEW.

At the start of April, Frost became a free agent when her AEW contract expired. She sent out a tweet today confirming that she is no longer with the company and thanking Tony Khan for being an “incredibly kind and passionate boss” during the time they worked together.

“As of today, I am a free agent,” Frost announced. “I want to thank @TonyKhan for being an incredibly kind and passionate boss. I had some of the most incredible moments with @AEW and I am so grateful for the years that I spent there. For now, I’m on the hunt. Onto the next…”

Frost’s last AEW match was a January 2026 bout against Mina Shirakawa on Collision. She had been under contract since 2023 and competed in both AEW and ROH. Frost also represented AEW while traveling to Mexico for CMLL dates.

Before signing with AEW, Frost had made some appearances for the NWA and TNA. She has not revealed what her next move in pro wrestling will be.

Report: AEW wrestler set to enter free agency

Posted on by Bryan Rose

An AEW wrestler will soon become a free agent.

Fightful is reporting that Lady Frost’s contract is set to expire on April 1 and unless something changes, she is set to enter free agency. She last appeared on AEW programming back on January 10, losing to Mina Shirakawa on an episode of Collision. Prior to that, she hadn’t been on television since July.

Frost began regularly appearing on AEW television in 2023, challenging for the TBS Championship twice, losing to both Kris Statlander and Julia Hart. During most of her tenure she wrestled on ROH. She also competed for CMLL during this time, as she and Taya Valkyrie teamed together in a tournament for the vacant CMLL Women’s Tag Team titles, losing to Zeuxis and Dark Silueta in the finals.

Prior to signing with AEW, Frost had made appearances for the NWA. She also made appearances in TNA back in 2021 and 2022, unsuccessfully challenging for the Knockouts Championship. 

AEW has signed multiple people to new contracts recently, including Jake Doyle, The IInspiration, and The Rascalz. It was revealed on Sunday that Tehuti Miles, the former Ashante Thee Adonis, has also been signed.

Ring of Honor TV live results: Athena vs. Lady Frost, Nick Wayne in action

Posted on by Jeff Moss

Ring of Honor Women’s World Champion Athena will look to keep her impressive multi-year winning streak going as she faces Lady Frost in non-title action on tonight’s HonorClub show.

The bout will be a Proving Ground match where if Frost can defeat or draw the champion, she earns a future title shot. Athena has held the title since December 2022’s Final Battle.

For the first time since September 2023, Nick Wayne will return to the red and black brand as he faces Bryan Hook.

In other women’s action, past AEW Women’s World title challenger Yuka Sakazaki will face Viva Van.

The show will also feature two tag team matches as Angelico & Serpentico face Derek Dillinger & Ren Jones while MxM Collection (Mansoor & Mason Madden) takes on Midnight Heat (Eddie Pearl & Ricky Gibson).

**********

Little was said to promote tonight’s episode 86 but that didn’t stop the show from kicking off in style, with a very poetic promo from the ROH World Champion Mark Briscoe.

Briscoe survived his match with Chris Jericho at WrestleDream and as long as Jericho runs down the Briscoe name and family, Mark promises to fight him anytime, anywhere.

Spanish Announce Project (Angelico & Serpentico) defeated Derek Dillinger & Ren Jones

Dillinger and Jones made their debut both as a team and in ROH tonight. Angelico and Serpentico have been picking up wins over the likes of The Infantry and the Iron Savages over the summer. They also managed to get Serpentico’s mask back from Maria Kanellis and her goons, but that was behind them now as they looked to position themselves for a shot at the ROH Tag Team Champions Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara.

Dillinger and Jones were definitely beefier than the laid-back SAP, but the agility of Angelico was on full display as he started off against Jones. Angelico practically danced around Jones before locking in an arm lock and tagging in Serpentico for a double stomp from the top rope on said arm. Dillinger tried to get involved, but like so many bulls in so many china shops, he ran right into the SAP’s fluid and cohesive offense.

Dillinger hopped in and spent some time throwing Serpentico around. The luchadore was not prepared for the brawling style of Dillinger and it looked for a few minutes like an upset was imminent. However, Jones and Angelico got involved andSerpentico locked Jones ina grapevine ankle lock and Serpentico got Dillinger in a tandem cobra stretch to draw out a double submission and a win for SAP.

Rachael Ellering was interviewed in the back.

Ellering promised to step up in ROH and was interrupted by Harley Cameron. Cameron felt that she and Ellering got off on the wrong foot. The two traded passive aggressive insults for a moment until Cameron pulled her in for a hug, starting their “friendship” off right.

Yuka Sakazaki defeated Viva Van

Sakazaki, still hurting from a failed attempt to capture the AEW Women’s World Title from Mariah May at Grand Slam in September, was looking to take it out on Van. Van for her part was still looking for her first singles win in ROH, but had her work cut out for her. 

Sakazaki’s entrance music was the real winner as the hardcore J-Pop filled the arena. Whent he match started, Van tried to keep the match pace slow to take away Sakazaki’s sped, but she didn’t count on the agility of the smaller woman, who wormed out of everything thrown at her.

Van went to the top for a springboard attempt, but Sakazaki knocked her from the ropes and stomped around the ring before landing a high knee in the corner. A missile dropkick from the top rope knocked Van senseless, but she managed to kick out at two.

The two played back and forth, trying pinning combinations and wriggling out of them. Van looked pretty impressive against the Joshi star, but in the end Sakazaki hit a Magic Girl Splash from the middle of the top rope and got the pin.

Footage of the Brian Cage vs Atlantis Jr. match from WrestleDream was shown next.

Cage ended up the winner of that match and became the new ROH TV Champion. He cut a promo afterwards, saying things are going to change in ROH now that someone of his caliber has the TV Title. He talked a lot about cliffs, and being pushed off them, but it didn’t make much sense. The gist of it was that the “Age of Cage” is upon us.

Nick Wayne (w/ Mother Wayne) defeated Brian Cook

This is only Wayne’s second match in ROH, losing to then-ROH Pure Champion Katsuyori Shibata way back in the dark vestiges of 2023. Following along form The Patriarchy was Mother Wayne. Cook for his part had a cup of coffee with AEW last year, but hasn’t been seen much since, spending most of his time in Defy.

Things started off fast though. Cook caught Wayne on his heels and managed to land a series of quick dropkicks that actually busted Wayne’s lip open. Wayne powered back though, using the skills taught to him by Christian Cage of the Patriarchy. Or so they say.

After that, Wayne dominated the match. Single arm DDT’s, dropkicks and not an insignificant amount of mugging for the camera kept Cook on the mat for the most part. He got a few quick rollup attempts in, and a really cool twisting DDT, but in the end, Wayne hit a jumping cutter and put Cook down for good to get the win.

MxM Collection (Mansoor & Mason Madden) defeated Midnight Heat (Eddie Pearl & Ricky Gibson)

So, Midnight Heat. Disturbing name, pretty good cred on the indies. Their last match around these parts was on a springtime episode of Dynamite where they lost to the Dark Order. MxM Collection came out of the gate on a hot streak (they even competed for the INTERGALACTIC Tag Team Championships in Hoodslam Wrestling) but seem to have cooled a little after traveling the Dynamite/Collision/ROH highway. 

To begin, “Tips of honor” were touched and poses were, uh, posed. Mansoor started off against Gibson, who despite my hope every time I saw or heard his name, was NOT 60 years old like another Gibson. As far as the match goes though, Gibson held his own against Mansoor. Pearl tagged in, but that just brought in Madden, who towered over him. At one point, he picked up Pearl with one arm for a leg drop slam.

MxM had this thing in the bag from the start. It was really just a series of poses and comedy bits with a little bit of wresting in between. This does not in any way mean it was a bad match, but it was a predictable one. MxM controlled everything and a sit out choke slam from Madden set up Pearl for the Centerfold and a pin.

AR Fox defeated Jack Cartwheel

Hometown hero Cartwheel came down to the ring doing round outs. No, he was doing cartwheels and in Dusty Rhodes’ old coat no less. Fox was a little more subdued (for Fox) as he used this as a warmup for an upcoming match with Ricochet coming up on Collision.

The two locked up and Cartwheel looked absolutely ripped. He was about 6 inches shorter that Fox, but all muscle. Couple that with his speed and Cartwheel had Fox backtracking. Fox, looking pretty good himself, tried more of a brawler approach, but Cartwheel was able to work around that until Fox hit him on the outside with a massive dive.

Fox tried a rolling senton on the ring apron (the hardest part of the ring) but Cartwheel avoided it, causing Fox to land right on his back. He was ok though, as evidenced by the jumping neckbreaker he delivered to Cartwheel moments later.

The two hammered on each other in a relatively even affair until Fox went to the top rope for… something, and Cartwheel sent him to the mat. Fox jumped up for a 450 splash and managed to keep Cartwheel on the ground long enough to get the pin.

Atlantis Jr. defeated Jon Cruz

Cruz was pretty excited to see his name up on the big screen as he entered. Atlantis Jr, fresh off losing the ROH TV Title to Brian Cage, was a little more subdued, but still carried that Luchadore flair. He had the size advantage on Cruz, but Cruz has the veteran reps to surprise.

Atlanis struck first, catching Cruz with a big kick and spinning backbreaker. Atlantis set up Cruz in the corner and tried to feed him kicks, but Cruz squirmed out and began pounding on Atlantis, counting blows in Spanish. He then bit Atlantis on the mask for some reason.

Cruz got a little cocky, trying out a standing cover, but Atlantis wasn’t going down like that. Atlantis hit a pop up cutter followed by a big frog splash and got the win.

Komander defeated Willie Mack to earn an ROH TV title match

Mack is calling himself “The Chocolate Juggalo” these days and that’s… well, that’s something. Komander brought along his hype man and the two set up for what promised to be a really fun clash of styles. Mack, a notorious brawler against the luchadore stylings of Komander. Also, the winner of the match will get a future ROH TV title shot.

Mack appeared to be twice the size of Komander, but had trouble keeping up with him. When the two did connect, Komander definitely got the bummer end of it, being hit so hard he flipped over. A couple of times.

Speed wasn’t an issue though, as Mack is unearthly fast and agile for a man of his size. Komander didn’t have much to fight back with, but he was able to take a lot of what Mack was dishing out to keep the match going. Right up until the nipple twists. Mack twisted Komander’s nipples and it was as awkward as it sounds.

Komander got a bunch of offense in on Mack, including a big dive over the ropes to the outside. He tossed Mack back in the ring and ran the ropes for a shooting star press to get the victory over the bigger man and become the new #1 Contender for the ROH TV Title.

Jericho Responds to ROH Champion Mark Briscoe

Chris Jericho cut a promo next, claiming that Mark Briscoe cheated to win their match at Wrestledream. He wants a rematch and to become the 2-time ROH Champion, just like Jay Briscoe. They cut to Mark right away, and he accepted the rematch, but it will be a more violent affair next week on Dynamite when Jericho and Briscoe have a LADDER WAR for the ROH Championship.

ROH CLASSIC MATCH: The Briscoes vs. SoCal Uncensored vs. The Young Bucks (Ladder War for the ROH Tag Team Championships, ROH Final Battle 2018, NYC)

Speaking of Ladder War, how about a classic one featuring the Briscoes and current AEW EVP’s Matthew and Nicholas Jackson, as well as then ROH Tag Champs Scorpio Sky and Frankie Kazarian. There was a lot to love about this match, but honestly it was just a joy reliving Jay and Mark Briscoe doing the tag team work they did so well. Their opponents couldn’t be better, but it was seeing Jay do his thing that was really exciting. He is really, really missed.

As with most of the classic matches, I won’t get into who won what, but this was a wild and violent match. At times it was impossible to know who was winning as bodies were flying everywhere. Chairs, tables and of course, ladders, were used as weapons by anyone and everyone. The Briscoes had a bit of advantage in that they were used to hardcore, violent matches at this point. But the Young Bucks and SoCal Uncensored hung in there, giving as good as they got.

To get ready for the Briscoe/Jericho Ladder War coming up on Dynamite, this was an excellent taste of what it could look like. I highly suggest checking it out on HonorClub or elsewhere.

ROH Women’s World Champion Athena (w/ Lexy Nair) defeated Lady Frost in a Proving Ground match

Lady Frost has been having a rough time in ROH lately. She’s lost an ROH Women’s World TV Title Proving Ground match, been eliminated from the AEW Women’s World Title, uh, Eliminator tournament and now she has to face a very cranky Athena. For her part, Athena has been stressed out lately by what she sees as a failing Minion in Billie Starkz, and being stalked by Abadon. If Frost could last ten minutes or pin the champion, she’d be guaranteed a future title shot.

Athena arrived still chained to Lexy Nair, with no Billie Starkz in sight. Last week, Athena chained herself to Nair to avoid Abadon. I don’t know exactly how this was supposed to work, but go with it. For the match, she unchained herself and for some reason locked Lexy to the ringpost? The only thing I could think of was Athena was setting Lexy up to be bait for Abadon, not unlike Wyle E. Coyote attempting to trap the Roadrunner.

With all that out of the way, the match started and the two women tangled up and wrestled from post to post. Athena ended up with the better of it, but Frost responded with a hurricanrana off the ropes. Anything Athena threw at Frost, she had an answer for, but Athena only needed to keep the match going until the 10 minute time limit to win.

Frost was nearly counted out after some interference from Lexy on the outside. That gave Athena the momentum, but the champion was clearly distracted by the thought of Abadon lurking nearby. It caused her to miss a senton and give Frost an opening. She went high, but Athena countered.

Athena manged to land a big slam from the top rope and lock in her crossface submission. Frost tried to fight out of it, but Athena only wrenched down harder, causing Frost to tap out.

Athena re-cuffed herself to Lexy and started beating up Frost. Suddenly, Abadon’s music hit and Athena a Lexy turned tail and ran as fast as they could to the exit as the show came to a close.

Two new matches announced for AEW Collision

Posted on by Ethan Renner

AEW’s Tony Khan has announced two new matches for Saturday’s Collision episode.

After taking part in the International Championship number one contender’s four-way on this week’s Dynamite, Orange Cassidy and Kyle O’Reilly are set to square off in singles competition on Saturday’s AEW Collision episode. The match will mark the first one-on-one meeting between the two.

Also added to Saturday’s card, Women’s World Champion Toni Storm will face Lady Frost in a non-title match. Storm is set to defend her title against Mina Shirakawa at the Forbidden Door pay-per-view set for Sunday, June 30.

The two new matches join an FTR vs. Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta tag bout in the lineup for the Saturday, June 8 Collision episode. The updated card:

AEW Collision, Saturday, June 8, 8 p.m. Eastern time on TNT —

  • Orange Cassidy vs. Kyle O’Reilly
  • Toni Storm vs. Lady Frost
  • Blackpool Combat Club’s Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta vs. FTR’s Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler

AEW Rampage live results: Deonna Purrazzo vs. Lady Frost

Posted on by Joseph Collins

Rampage once again will follow this week’s AEW Collision.

With NHL and NBA playoffs moving the show around, Rampage will follow Collision on Saturday. Hour three of AEW’s content block will feature a match between Lady Frost and Deonna Purrazzo. Two weeks ago on Rampage, Thunder Rosa defeated Purrazzo in a match. Purrazzo, unhappy with the result, jumped Rosa after the match and sent her into a steel barricade.

Lady Frost has mostly wrestled on ROH television of late, last losing a match teaming with Abadon and Leyla Hirsch last month. Her last AEW television match was earlier in April, losing to Rosa. Aside from ROH and AEW, she’s also made several appearances for CMLL.

Last week’s AEW Rampage was headlined by a Manitoba Massacre match, where Willow Nightingale retained the TBS Championship by defeating Skye Blue.

Rampage will begin at 10 pm ET on TBS.

Live from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. 

Tony Schivone and Nigel McGuinness were on commentary as the main event from Collision continued. 

Adam Copeland defeated Kyle O’Reilly for the TNT Championship (3:35 or so aired during Rampage) 

A low kick stopped O’Reilly to the point where the ref had to check on O’Reilly to see if he could continue. O’Reilly gave the okay, and Copeland set up for the spear, which O’Reilly countered with a guillotine choke. Copeland escaped that with an Implant DDT, and hit the spear to get the pinfall. 

The crowd was hugely behind O’Reilly at the end of that match. The show then faded to black and then Rampage opened with Copeland helping O’Reilly up. O’Reilly and Copeland had a weird issue with each other when Copeland held up O’Reilly’s hand, but wouldn’t let it go. 

– Lexi Nair interviewed Claudio Castagnoli on his way out of the arena. Castagnoli has issues with Bryan Danielson teaming with Eddie Kingston at Anarchy in the Arena at Double or Nothing. He wants Danielson to retire healthy, and doesn’t trust Eddie Kingston to let that happen. 

Matt Menard joined the commentary team for the rest of Rampage. 

Trent Beretta defeated Dalton Castle (9:42)

Beretta wore an old “Best Friends” t-shirt with everything covered but the word “Best” and his face. And Castle had  a new array of Boys with him tonight. 

Castle hung Beretta up on the turnbuckle, then sent him to the floor with a running knee. They fought on the apron, and Beretta drove Castle into the apron with a hanging DDT. 

After a split-screen break, Dalton countered a avalanche hurricanrana with a sunset flip for a near fall, and both guys hit clotheslines. Castle came back with a pair of suplexes.  The crowd was crazy behind Castle, especially for a guy who has only been on ROH for most of the last year.  Castle went for his finisher, but Beretta countered with a piledriver for a near fall. The crowd told Trent he sucked, and Castle countered a tornado DDT attempt with another suplex. The fight went to the floor, and Beretta distracted referee Aubrey Edwards with a chair. This allowed him to gouge Castle’s eyes. Back in the ring, Beretta hit a running knee and locked in the gogoplata, and the ref stopped the match.

– In the back, Deonna Purrazzo talked trash about Thunder Rosa.

– Rush will destroy you, spit on you, and walk all over you. And kick all of AEW in the face. Rush makes his return to Rampage next Saturday on Collision. 

“The Bounty Hunter” Bryan Keith defeated JD Drake (2:43)

I thought WB didn’t want Ring of Honor? 

JD Drake has this neat spot on the floor where he sends his opponent into the ropes and when they come back on the rebound, he hits them with a forearm. In the ring, Drake hit a running kick for a near fall. Drake chopped away at Keith, but Keith came back with a shoulderblock and a bodyslam. Keith finished Drake off with a flipping stunner out of the corner to get the pinfall. 

I wonder why people are tuning out of Rampage in droves? 

– Adam Copeland cut a promo from behind a chain link fence wrapped in barbed wire. He challenged Malakai Black for Double or Nothing in a Barbed Wire Steel Cage match. 

Deonna Purrazzo defeated Lady Frost (8:11) 

Most of the match took place during the split-screen break.

Most of the match took place during the split-screen break. After the break, Purrazzo and Frost exchanged boots. Frost cartwheeled into a cannonball in the corner for a near fall. Purrazzo came back with a Russian leg sweep into an armbar, but Frost escaped by getting to the ropes. Frost came off the top with tornio for a near fall. Frost went to the top again, but Purrazzo tripped her up. Frost hung upside down in the corner, and Purrazzo hit her with a spear to get the pinfall. Frost looked very good and the crowd was into it, but the outcome was never in doubt.

After the match, Thunder Rosa chased off Purrazzo with a steel chair. Rosa dove on a security guard to try and get to Purrazzo, but the security guard managed to hold her off. 

– The Acclaimed dropped a new music video. 

– A vignette for Scorpio Sky’s zillionth comeback. It sounds like he’s coming back as a babyface. 

PAC defeated  Johnny TV (w/ Taya Valkyrie) (9:44) 

Johnny wiped his butt with a Vancouver Canucks jersey so the crowd knew who to boo. PAC attacked and went to work on TV, hitting a shotgun dropkick out of the corner. PAC hit an Asai moonsault. Johnny raked PAC’s  eyes and took control. He hit a leg lariat and a standing shooting star press for a near fall. 

Johnny worked PAC over with a cravat for most of the commercial break. TV and Taya made out on the floor. This gave PAC the opening to come back with a series of running forearms. Valkyrie tried to trip up PAC. PAC and Valkyrie argued on the floor, which allowed Johnny to hit PAC with a plancha. Back in the ring, Johnny missed a split legged moonsault, and PAC hit a german suplex. Johnny missed the Starship Pain, and PAC went up for the Black Arrow. But Taya distracted PAC again. PAC dodged a charge from Johnny, who crashed into Taya. PAC locked Johnny in the Brutalizer, and Johnny TV tapped out. 

After the match, The Bullet Club taunted PAC from the video wall and warned him to stay out of their business.

This show felt like a lot of filler.

Thunder Rosa match added to AEW Collision

Posted on by Ethan Renner

A new women’s division contest featuring top-ranked competitor Thunder Rosa is set for Saturday’s AEW Collision. 

As revealed Friday, Thunder Rosa will take on Lady Frost on the Saturday, March 30 Collision. 

A former AEW Women’s World Champion, Rosa is 4-0 in AEW singles competition, plus 3-0 in tag matches since returning to the ring late in 2023 after missing more than a year of ring time due to a back injury. 

Rosa was ranked first in the AEW women’s division in the new set of rankings revealed by the company earlier this week, and appears to be next in line to challenge Toni Storm for the AEW Women’s World title.

Here is the updated lineup for Saturday’s Collision:

  • Kyle O’Reilly in action

TBS Championship match added to AEW Collision

Posted on by Bryan Rose

A TBS Championship match has been added to Saturday’s Collision.

Britt Baker will challenge Kris Statlander for the title Saturday in State College, PA. She issued the challenge on Friday’s Rampage to the winner between Jade Cargill and champion Kris Statlander, saying that she wanted to be the first woman to hold both the TBS and Women’s championships. Stalander pinned Cargill in the main event of Rampage to advance to Saturday’s title match.

Also added to the card is a singles match between Evil Uno and Anthony Bowens. The Acclaimed were confronted by The Dark Order on Friday’s show, with The Dark Order saying they deserved the next Trios title match and would prove it in a singles match on Collision.

The Righteous will take on The Hardys. After The Hardys and The Lucha Bros. defeated Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, The Butcher, and The Blade, Satnam Singh laid out both Hardys on the entrance way. The segment ended with The Righteous standing over the fallen Hardys.

A singles match between Scorpio Sky and Andrade El Idolo was also added to Saturday’s card. After Rampage went off the air, Tony Khan on X also announced that Jay White will make his return to Collision after being pulled from last week’s show, and Aussie Open will also make an appearance.

Here’s the updated lineup for Saturday’s Collision:

Ring of Honor TV live results: Athena vs. Lady Frost

Posted on by Suit Williams

Ring of Honor Women’s Champion Athena will look find a future title challenger in yet another Proving Ground match as part of Thursday’s ROH on HonorClub.

She will face Lady Frost for the first time where if Frost can beat her or last the time limit, she earns a future title bout. A win will be Athena’s 40th straight.

Rocky Romero will make his return to ROH for the first time since December 2019 when he faces Lee Moriarty.

In other singles action, Gringo Loco takes on Blake Christian; Skye Blue faces Diamante, and Brian Cage goes one-on-one with Leon Ruffin.

The show will feature three tag team matches in LFI (Rush & Preston Vance) vs. The Infantry (Shawn Dean & Carlie Bravo); Dark Order’s Evil Uno & Stu Grayson vs. The Trustbusters (Jeeves Kay & Sonny Kiss); and Best Friends (Chuck Taylor & Trent Beretta) vs. Joe Ocasio & Mookie Summers.

**********

Ian Riccaboni and Caprice Coleman were joined by Nigel McGuinness on this week’s episode of ROH television, taped last Wednesday in Pittsburgh, PA as part of the AEW Dynamite taping.

ROH Women’s World Title Proving Ground Match: Athena defeated Lady Frost

Frost used her acrobatic skills to get the upper hand on Athena, taking her up and over with a headscissors. Athena kicked her in the face on an up-and-over in the corner to take control. Frost laid in some shots after Athena paintbrushed her, but Athena dropped her with a backbreaker. Frost kicked Athena into the corner before cartwheeling into a cannonball.

Frost went to the top rope, but Athena got up and cut her off. Athena talked trash, which allowed Frost to hit a hurricane kick to take her down. Frost went to the top rope and hit a corkscrew moonsault, but Athena rolled to the ropes to avoid a cover. When Frost tried picking her up, Athena popped up into a big forearm for the win. After the match, Athena drove Frost into the title belt on the mat to get the final word in.

– The Kingdom talked about their frustrations in ROH lately in a lengthy video package. Instead of getting a rematch against the Briscoes at Final Battle, they lost to Top Flight. Instead of honoring Jay Briscoe by winning the tag team titles at Supercard of Honor, four other teams got in their way and took that from them. Now, they are not going to stop until they get back at all of the teams that were in that match.

La Faccion Ingobernable (Preston Vance & Rush) (w/Jose The Assistant) defeated The Infantry (Carlie Bravo & Shawn Dean)

Vance hammered Bravo to start, drilling him with a big boot to send him down. Vance went to finish this match off quickly with the Full Nelson, but Dean cut him off after yanking Rush off of the apron. Vance took both men down with discus lariats before tagging in Rush to finish off Bravo with the Bull’s Horns for the emphatic victory.

Best Friends (Chuck Taylor & Trent Beretta) defeated Joe Ocasio & Mookie Summers

Ocasio took the fight to Beretta, but Beretta shot out of the corner with a running knee to cut him off. Taylor dropped Summers with a pop-up powerbomb. Both Taylor and Beretta hit Ocasio with piledrivers before hitting Summers with a doomsday knee for the win.

Brian Cage (w/Prince Nana) defeated Leon Ruffin

A quality squash match here. The crowd got into Ruffin’s comeback before Cage efficiently shut him down.

Cage threw Ruffin around with ease before Ruffin fought out of a suplex with knees. Ruffin went for a top-rope crossbody, but Cage caught him and dropped him with a front slam. Cage went for an F-5, but Ruffin dropped him with a DDT. Ruffin evaded Cage and hit a cutter out of the corner for a close nearfall to a big pop. Cage hit a spinning lariat to shut Ruffin down, then hit a powerbomb over the knee. Cage won with a Sharpshooter-style submission hold.

The Dark Order (Evil Uno & Stu Grayson) defeated The Trustbusters (Jeeves Kay & Sonny Kiss) (w/Slim J)

The Righteous watched from the stage as Kay got a jump-start on Uno. Kiss tagged in and hit a handspring into a slap. The Trustbusters tried to double-team Uno, but Uno hit a suplex on Kay while Kiss hung onto his back. Grayson tagged in and ran wild, leading to a kick-assisted brainbuster on Kay. Dark Order dropped Kiss with an electric chair throw into a powerbomb, then pinned Kay after a Grayson kick led to an Uno powerbomb. Grayson and Uno confronted The Righteous on the stage before walking off.

– Christopher Daniels was in the back with Dasha Fuentes, who asked what was next on his journey to victory. Daniels said this was one of the lowest points of his career. But he was going to earn his keep in ROH, and he wouldn’t start at the bottom. He called out Samoa Joe, noting their long history with each other, and challenged him to a TV Title match next week.

Skye Blue defeated Diamante

An early pinning predicament sent Diamante scurrying to the ropes. Diamante caught Blue in the ropes and hit a neckbreaker before sending her to the floor with a baseball slide. Diamante worked over Blue before Blue fought back, hitting a crossbody off the top rope for a nearfall.

Blue hit a rising knee and a low kick that sent Diamante to the apron. They got into a forearm exchange before Diamante caught Blue with a German suplex on the apron. Diamante hit a corner dropkick, but Blue got the ropes on the cover. Diamante tried rolling through a Skyfall attempt, but Blue stuffed the roll-up and got the win.

After the match, Athena came out with Blue’s custom hat and stomped on it, sending Blue a message.

Lee Moriarty (w/Big Bill) defeated Rocky Romero

Moriarty’s hometown crowd got behind him in the opening moments of this match. Romero tied up Moriarty in the ropes and hit a dropkick. Big Bill menaced Romero on the outside, allowing Moriarty to knock Romero off the apron and drive him into the barricade. Moriarty tore at Romero’s arm, popping his fingers while in an armbar. They traded arm control before kicking at each other’s arms, leading to a Romero tornado DDT.

Romero drilled Moriarty with chops and the Forever Clotheslines, but Moriarty misdirected Romero and hit a clothesline of his own. Moriarty hit the Tiger Driver ’18 for a nearfall. They traded arm submissions before Romero rolled up Moriarty for a nearfall. A strike battle ended with Romero hitting the rewind kick that sent Moriarty to the floor. Romero hit a headscissors off of the steps before hitting a Sliced Bread in the ring for a nearfall.

Romero caught Moriarty with a hurricanrana to the floor, but a dive caught Big Bill instead of Moriarty. Bill responded with a chokeslam to the apron while the referee was distracted, leading to Moriarty hitting a leg lariat for the win.

– Rocky Romero was in the back, unhappy that Lee Moriarty outsnuck the King of Sneaky Style. He challenged Moriarty to a Pure Rules rematch next week.

Blake Christian defeated Gringo Loco

Loco and Christian worked quickly, with neither man gaining an advantage until Loco avoided a Fosbury Flop and hitting a dive of his own. Christian cut off Loco in the ring and speared him on the apron before hitting the Fosbury Flop. Back in the ring, Loco cut off a Spanish Fly attempt with a head kick. Christian came back with a springboard into a handspring kick for a nearfall. Loco came back with a powerbomb for a nearfall.

Loco went to the top rope, but Christian met him there. Loco got control and hit an inside-out Spanish Fly type move for a nearfall. Loco took Christian up again, this time in Electric Chair position, but Christian tried to powerbomb him out. Loco landed on his feet, so Christian followed him with a Spanish Fly. Christian hit Loco with a springboard 450 to score the win.

Report: Lady Frost granted release from Impact Wrestling

Posted on by Ian Carey

Lady Frost has reportedly been granted her release from Impact Wrestling. 

The 37-year-old announced in June that she requested to be released from the company. It was then revealed in August that Impact had not granted the request. 

According to a report from Fightful Select, Frost was officially released from the company last month. There were people within the company pushing for it as it didn’t seem productive to keep her under contract.

Frost was under a pay-per-appearance deal and had not performed for the promotion since Multiverse of Matches on April 1. Since then, she has wrestled for various independent promotions as well as on five CMLL shows at the end of last month. 

Frost is said to have been frustrated with not having her travel and accommodation paid for Multiverse of Matches over WrestleMania week. She later needed minor surgery and says Impact kept in the dark regarding her status after. 

Frost is said to have had two years left on her deal.  

“If you were in a relationship where someone didn’t care about your physical or mental well-being, and didn’t adequately provide for you financially, would you fight to be free from it?” She wrote on Twitter in August, later adding, “This is certainly not about my husband.”

Report: Impact Wrestling rejects Lady Frost’s release request

Posted on by Ian Carey

Impact Wrestling has not granted Lady Frost her release from the company.  

The 37-year-old requested her release from the promotion in June writing, “I have officially asked for my release from @IMPACTWRESTLING I want to thank the incredible fans, staff, and locker room, as well as @ScottDAmore and @gailkimITSME for the opportunities given to me. Thank you for a great experience,” on Twitter. 

According to a report from Fightful Select, sources within Impact have confirmed that her request has not been granted. Frost has not wrestled for Impact since Multiverse of Matches on April 1. As she is under a pay-per-performance deal with the company, she has not been paid for the months she’s been away. 

The report continues to say that she informed Impact management she required a medical procedure but was then still booked for the tapings in Dallas over WrestleMania weekend. She then revealed through social media on April 20 that she would undergo “minor surgery” the following month. Frost says Impact then left her in the dark regarding her status while she was away. 

Frost has reportedly made it known through multiple avenues that she wants out of the company, including contacting Anthem’s President and CEO Leonard Asper. She is believed to have two years left on her deal. 

Frost is reported to have said that due to unpaid travel, accommodation, and other expenses, it “effectively was costing her money” to work Impact’s television tapings. 

Frost posted to social media on Tuesday and alluded to possible issues with Impact. 

“If you were in a relationship where someone didn’t care about your physical or mental well-being, and didn’t adequately provide for you financially, would you fight to be free from it?” She wrote, later adding, “This is certainly not about my husband.”

Lady Frost requests release from Impact Wrestling

Lady Frost has requested to be let go from her Impact Wrestling contract.

In a tweet on Thursday night, Frost revealed that she’s requested to be released from Impact Wrestling. She thanked the Impact fans, staff, and locker room, along with Scott D’Amore and Gail Kim for the opportunities she was given.

“I have officially asked for my release from @IMPACTWRESTLING,” Frost wrote. “I want to thank the incredible fans, staff, and locker room, as well as @ScottDAmore and @gailkimITSME for the opportunities given to me. Thank you for a great experience.”

The request comes seven months after it was revealed that Frost had signed with Impact.

Frost most recently wrestled for Impact at the promotion’s Multiverse of Matches event during WrestleMania week this April, teaming with Gisele Shaw in a four-way match where they unsuccessfully challenged for the Knockouts Tag Team titles.

Frost was mentioned on Impact last night during a backstage segment with Shaw and Alisha Edwards.

Frost has wrestled for the NWA in the past and has also made a couple of appearances on AEW Dark.
