KING<br \/>\nMARCH 1, 2023<br \/>\nAIRED ON PRO WRESTLING TV<br \/>\nREPORT BY HARLEY R. PAGEOT, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p><em>Commentary: Alyssa Marino, Sam Leterna<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Gabby LaSpisa was backstage with Queen Aminata to talk about our Queen vs. King main event. Aminata always feels great. She welcomed KiLynn to WWA.\u00a0 Tonight it\u2019s going to be about queen of the castle.<\/p>\n<p>-Elsewhere, KiLynn King had a rebuttal. She\u2019s known Aminata for two years. They\u2019d never been booked against each other but lately it\u2019s been back to back to back. She implied that Aminata\u2019s beaten her before but she learns from her mistakes. Apparently she tapped out to the Juicy Lock last time but it won\u2019t happen this time.<\/p>\n<p>-Opening theme.<\/p>\n<p>-LaSpisa found Kayla Sparks and Alex Gracia backstage. They\u2019ve both had issues with Missa Kate and complained about her to LaSpisa. She\u2019s not going to keep getting away with it.<\/p>\n<p>-Kate made her entrance in the arena and stole a fan\u2019s hat before tossing it on the ground. Sierra was out next, followed by the babyfaces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) ALEX GRACIA &amp; KAYLA SPARKS vs. SIERRA &amp; MISSA KATE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sierra and Sparks started. Sparks overwhelmed her, which led to Sierra quickly tagging out. Kate spat her gum at Gracia on the apron. The distraction allowed Sierra to grab Sparks and give Kate the advantage. Sparks hit two arm drags and a body slam, though. She dragged Kate to her corner and tagged Gracia. Tandem back elbow to Kate. Kate tagged as she bailed to ringside and Sierra caught Gracia with a kick through the ropes. Tag to Sparks, who dropped Sierra with a series of clotheslines. Sierra shoved Gracia off the apron and tagged out. The heels isolated Sparks.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4230612991\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Sparks made the hot tag at 8:00. Gracia was a house of fire on Kate. Sierra broke up a pin. Sierra dragged Kate to their corner and tagged herself in. Kate was put out by her audacity and elected to leave. Lungblower from Gracia to the distracted Sierra for the pin.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Gracia &amp; Sparks in 9:35.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Gracia &amp; Sparks become the only team besides The Hex to pick up a win in WWA. Commentary wondered if we could see more from them in the future, which would be nice. Establishing some relationships and building some teams or factions would help give WWA shows some firmer stakes with no championship to compete for at this time. It would also help in the sense that there are simply not that many established women\u2019s tag teams on the American indies. Speaking of\u2026)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-The Hex (Allysin Kay &amp; Marti Belle) were walking around outside in matching studded red leather jackets. Belle literally said that there aren\u2019t any tag teams anymore, just randos thrown together. Like Tasha Steelz &amp; Mazzerati. They\u2019re fine wrestlers but they\u2019re not a unit because they\u2019re not lifelong friends like them.<\/p>\n<p>-Sierra walked through the curtain backstage, followed by Kate.<\/p>\n<p>-LaSpisa was with Tasha Steelz on the interview set. She asked about a bump in the road with Steelz in WWA. She implied her mentorship with Mazzerati has come to an end. She was leading by example but lost because she\u2019s slipped. She\u2019s a former champion. She doesn\u2019t lose like that. She needs to focus on herself. She\u2019s issuing an open challenge.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Steelz\u2019s partnership with Savannah Evans in Impact recently came to an end for seemingly all the same reasons she outlined here so this was some nice cross-platform storytelling. In Impact, though, she\u2019s walked away from the ring altogether for the foreseeable future. So we\u2019ll see who answers this open challenge and if the resulting match is the last we see of Steelz in WWA for a while.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Queen Aminata made her entrance and had a valet place her crown on her head.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3795026846\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>(2) KILYNN KING vs. QUEEN AMINATA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Feeling out process in the early minutes as we\u2019re clearly setting in for a longer one. They traded flash pins. Aminata was sent to the floor and took a double chop. King wound up whipped into the ring post. In the ring, Aminata hit a face plant but King avoided the Juicy Lock. She ripped off a fake eyelash and powered up with a shot to Aminata\u2019s kidney. Aminata with a penalty kick to King\u2019s spine. Neckbreaker. King avoided a double stomp and hit a suplex. Shotgun dropkick from King and Aminata was back on the floor. A dropkick through the ropes connected. King rolled her back in but only got a two-count.<\/p>\n<p>Aminata with a sunset flip at 10:00. Big powerbomb from King for a two. Pumphandle slam avoided by Aminata. Knee strike landed. Aminata up top but King moved out of the double stomp again. Pumphandle driver from King but Aminata kicked out! The crowd was certain that one was it. Headbutt from Aminata. She yanked King off the second rope and went up top for a third time. The double-stomp finally connected! Hip-check in the corner. Face wash. King kicked out.<\/p>\n<p>The women traded pin attempts. King landed a roundhouse kick. Another kick-out from Aminata. \u201cThis is awesome\u201d chant from the crowd. Chop from King. Slap from Aminata. Aminata flipped her to the mat. King went for a roll-up. Aminata reversed. It was enough.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Queen Aminata in 15:04.<\/p>\n<p>-An angry King glared at Aminata from ringside and may have spat at her.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Pageot\u2019s Perspective: Out of 29 episodes, that was in my top two WWA matches alongside Jordan Blade-Holidead from July. Aminata\u2019s a personal favorite of mine and probably in my top five women working today. She\u2019s just the total package. King, I am admittedly not familiar with. It looks like she wrestles for NWA regularly and commentary mentioned her facing Mayu Iwatani on a NJPW show in New York. This one was a real treat and I love the finish. Aminata\u2019s been established as a top player in WWA so I\u2019m glad to see her win. But it was also a clear \u201cthat could have gone either way\u201d scenario that lays the groundwork for a rematch and puts her up 2-0 in the series, making an eventual King win that more meaningful. And she didn\u2019t tap. She wasn\u2019t knocked out for a firm three. Aminata got, to an extent, lucky.)<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1232600085\"><div id=\"pwtor-472149518\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWA EPISODE 29: QUEEN VS.
