00:00And it's time for the CMLL Women's World Championship to arrive.
00:07Here's Harkinian.
00:09The following is the CMLL Women's World Championship Eliminator Match.
00:15It's getting to a one-fall with a 30-minute time limit.
00:18Introducing first, from Long Island, New York,
00:21she is the CMLL Women's World Champion, Willow Nordicke!
00:30Over to you, Anne.
00:31Willow's the champion, it's time for fun.
00:33Let's go back weeks and see how Willow's won.
00:36New Japan and CMLL presented Fantastica Mania,
00:38where Yuvia, Dima Van and Willow competed for the vacant CMLL Women's World title.
00:43The babe with the powerbomb was the difference.
00:45Tony, Nigel, Willow joins Chris Jericho among wrestlers to win titles in
00:49AEW, New Japan and CMLL.
00:53How about that?
00:54Yeah!
00:55What a history-making win just a couple of weeks ago at that great joint event.
00:59And you got your lousy wrap-in as well.
01:01And let's go back to the ring.
01:05And her opponent, from Hackettstown, New Jersey,
01:09the virtuosa, Deanna Parado!
01:17Last Saturday.
01:18Indeed, last Saturday was a hotly anticipated final chapter in the rivalry
01:25here between Thunder Rosa and Deanna Parado.
01:30The cover came off with lumberjacks on the outside.
01:33They're coming into play, but it was Taya Valkyrie
01:36specifically getting involved, handing Parado the turnbuckle,
01:40enabling virtuosa to pick up the victory behind the official's back.
01:45The final nail in the coffin of their conflict.
01:49And let me clarify, your wrap is not terrible.
01:52Tony, I understand completely.
01:54You're more of a Bruce Springsteen guy like Deanna Parado is
01:57coming from the Badlands in New Jersey.
01:59But that is where this rivalry initially was forged, Nigel,
02:03in 2015 when both were rookies, both were teenagers.
02:06They competed extensively against one another.
02:09So cool to see this matchup on the big stage all these years late.
02:12Ian Riccobono, you have sent Rat back 20 years.
02:16I thought that was the Fat Boys in 1987.
02:18Okay, here we go.
02:20Deanna Parado, a chance to win a match and get a world title shot
02:26against the CMLL World Women's Champion.
02:30Tony Parado has to be buoyed by that victory over Thunder Rosa
02:34we saw in action earlier tonight on collision.
02:38Far more aggressive side of Thunder Rosa.
02:41Let's see what changes Parado will exhibit.
02:44Being a world champion, not foreign to Deanna Parado,
02:50former Ring of Honor Women's World Champion,
02:53five times in a big chop.
02:56And she has defended successfully the ROH Women's World Championship
03:00against Willow.
03:04Yeah, 2022.
03:06You called a lot of these matches in.
03:08What would you say are the strengths of Deanna Parado?
03:12She is finally doing precision built.
03:15She will go for the arm, target it quick and fast.
03:18Before you know it, that arm and shoulder is going to be in trouble.
03:20I think this might be a trap situation.
03:22Maybe trying to lure Willow in with the power.
03:24There you see.
03:27Certainly known as a Fujiwara arm bar specialist.
03:30Parado.
03:33Bridges out of that.
03:35Great neck strength and hip strength as well.
03:38They are still hooked together.
03:40Indeed.
03:42Willow is going to come hard.
03:44How about that?
03:46With the body slam.
03:48Willow comes with a lot of smiles and a lot of anticipation.
03:53You are going to have a good time.
03:55Boy, she can quickly heat up.
03:57That temper can sometimes get the best of her.
04:00We have seen the best come out of it.
04:03We were there when Willow won the 2023 Owen Horton Memorial
04:07Wait a minute.
04:11I was there the night she won the new Japan Strong Open.
04:13Cross body.
04:15One, two, and a two count.
04:18That was scary to watch there.
04:21Got to take another look at that if we can.
04:24You can see Parado perhaps was trying to attempt to reverse out of this.
04:29You can see here.
04:32Thank God she is okay to continue.
04:34Her left shoulder.
04:36She moved out of the way as Willow came rushing in that time.
04:38Now Parado.
04:41This is why Parado is never out of a match.
04:44She reads and reacts.
04:46Now back to the arm.
04:48Fans, this match.
04:50Willow's arm, as you can see.
04:52It continues.
04:54Here on TNT.
04:59And for a little bit now,
05:03Deanna Parado buying herself some time with Willow on the outside.
05:07Trying to regroup after that.
05:09That was nasty.
05:11That was head and shoulder.
05:13It certainly looked like Deanna's shoulder.
05:15Potential for separation there.
05:17So glad to see that is not the case.
05:19I was anticipating this bout quite a bit.
05:21All three of us watching that.
05:23I saw viscerally reacted.
05:26Speaks to how tough the former ring of honor women's champion
05:28Deanna Parado is.
05:30She is obviously focusing on the arm.
05:32There is another hammer lock.
05:34Building tough in Jersey.
05:36Yes, they do.
05:38She breaks the count.
05:40Parado by rolling in.
05:42It is going to get worse.
05:44Trying to tear it out of the socket.
05:46Speaking of shoulder separation.
05:49Deanna Parado right now is having her way with the CMLL
05:51women's world champion.
05:53Has been referred to as a joint breaking style.
05:55I wonder,
05:57the problems that Willow has had.
05:59Willow has had such a great career.
06:01You talked about it.
06:03You talked about it.
06:05You talked about it.
06:07You talked about it.
06:09You talked about it.
06:11You talked about it.
06:13You talked about it.
06:15You talked about it.
06:17You talked about it.
06:19Deanna Parado with such a great career.
06:21You talked about winning the women's cup a year ago.
06:23Becoming at one time the TBS champion.
06:25Her problems that have existed with Chris Stadley.
06:27I wonder if it is weighing on her heavily.
06:31They were fast friends.
06:33We heard from Tony Storm earlier on about her friendship with
06:38Mariah.
06:39You can see what that can do to someone.
06:41Certainly can.
06:43Mariah, you could see what that can do to someone's psyche.
06:46Certainly can, and it changes your diet,
06:48it changes your sleeping habits, Nigel,
06:49it changes how you prepare for everyday life.
06:52It's complicated things, certainly,
06:54but unless I'm much mistaken,
06:57this Wednesday we will perhaps see,
06:59here on cover, one, two.
07:02This Wednesday, unless I'm much mistaken,
07:04we will see Nightingale facing off against Statland,
07:08and so perhaps we will see an answer to that conflict.
07:14Nursing that shoulder here, it's in trouble here, Tony,
07:16as Perrazzo goes to work.
07:18Yeah, and you can see the CMLL champ
07:22trying to shake it off,
07:23and she's fighting back with her right arm now.
07:26And a couple of blows to the gut,
07:28and it looks like maybe she's got,
07:31down she goes again with the back elbow.
07:34Diana Perrazzo is such a great technical wrestler.
07:38That's why they call her the Virtuosa.
07:47Diana Perrazzo will try with a cover here,
07:49one, two, and a two count.
07:51She's focused on the arm.
07:52You can see Willow Nightingale,
07:54the lady who smiles, not smiling at all right now.
07:58Oh!
08:00Oh, brother.
08:01Oh, nice double wrist lock, getting positions.
08:03Has it locked in here, Nigel?
08:05It has been a battle of attrition.
08:09For Diana Perrazzo has focused clearly
08:11on the left arm and shoulder.
08:14Arguably her more powerful opponent.
08:17Time and again, cover.
08:18What?
08:20Nope.
08:20Looking for that Venus de Milo
08:22double Fujiwara armbar.
08:25She won the Ring of Honor Women's title with.
08:28I called that match, oh goodness,
08:30and it came out of nowhere that night,
08:32but it was by virtue of the fact
08:34that she was by virtue of this kind of focus
08:37and this building the equity in that arm and shoulder.
08:43Willow rolling up.
08:48We are live here at the Esports Stadium
08:51for Better than Bucks 11.
08:53Willow Nightingale fighting with one arm,
08:55sends Diana Perrazzo down three times in a row.
09:00It's gonna be an uphill climb here, Tony,
09:01as Nightingale charging in.
09:05Wow!
09:06But she's up for the challenge.
09:08Using her power, a big pump,
09:09and down goes the virtuosa.
09:15And once again,
09:17into the ropes, picked up, ooh!
09:20Powerbombed her down one, two.
09:24Diana used her strong legs to get out of that, but barely.
09:27Nigel, I gotta ask,
09:29it didn't look like Willow had enough strength
09:30to lift Diana as high as she wanted
09:32for the leverage play on that powerbomb.
09:35I was gonna say, and to your point,
09:36the damage to the shoulder, paying dividends.
09:38Ooh, looking for it!
09:39Oh, bait with a powerbomb, neutralized.
09:41Absolutely was, and now-
09:43Into the bad arm right now.
09:44She's gonna pick her up.
09:48Ooh, thought maybe a Canadian Destroyer
09:49would come out of that, but no.
09:53No!
09:55Beautiful snap on that suplex there
09:57as the CMLL Women's World Champion.
09:59Her jaw is set.
10:01Whoa!
10:02She is going to go up top!
10:04Willow Nightingale, what a-
10:06Oh, she was going to go up top,
10:08and now she's-
10:09Oh, she hit hard, too.
10:11Top of the head, into the cover.
10:13One.
10:15No, no, no.
10:16Great call by referee Mike Posey there.
10:18Absolutely.
10:19You think it was a mistake for Willow to go up top?
10:22She doesn't do much of that.
10:23It certainly looked like it was now, Tony.
10:25Yeah, it does.
10:27Had to make a split-second decision, perhaps,
10:29because of that shoulder, that arm.
10:31Oh.
10:32Uh-oh.
10:32This'll do it.
10:33Got style pile driver.
10:35Could be coming.
10:36Willow fighting it off.
10:37Willow picks her up.
10:40Into the ropes.
10:42Dumped under, pick up.
10:44Boom!
10:45Death Valley Driver Cup.
10:47One, two.
10:49No!
10:51Peraza got the left arm up just in time.
10:53You look at the face of the CMLL World Champion now.
10:57What's going through Willow's mind?
10:59Does she think, do I try the powerbomb again?
11:03She probably has one good shot at it, Nigel.
11:05She's got to sink those hips,
11:06use the power of the hamstrings, the quads.
11:10She's going instead back to the corner.
11:12Interesting strategy.
11:13But able to use the legs there
11:14instead of the arms and the shoulder.
11:16But can she get her?
11:17Let's see.
11:19Ooh.
11:20Yeah, right cross at time by the challenger.
11:23Willow still fighting with that one arm here.
11:26You say potato, I say Pajano.
11:30Exchanging blows here.
11:31Oh brother, could be a superplex.
11:33Let's see if she can, yes!
11:34Got it!
11:35Hit hard!
11:36Oh, hold on though.
11:38Oh, Deanna blocking it, driving the hips.
11:41Great wide vertical base at time by Deanna.
11:44Peraza absorbed that superplex and just battled back.
11:48Wow, that's impressive.
11:50Now the ladies go back and forth, the forearm shots.
11:54Wow.
11:54A kick.
11:55Boom!
11:57That's more of a push.
11:58Wow!
11:58A kick and a running lariat.
12:01Both ladies wiped out.
12:02Let's see if her pick can be made.
12:06Wait a minute.
12:07You see a little tie of Valkyrie.
12:10What does she think she's pulling?
12:13She looks like she's hiding something.
12:17Well, last week we saw what she did
12:19during the Lumberjack match with that turnbuckle,
12:22helping Deanna Peraza defeat Thunder.
12:24Oh, come on.
12:25She's got it behind her once again.
12:28Once again, coming to the aid of Deanna Peraza.
12:32But there are championship implications
12:34this time in this Eliminator here.
12:35Absolutely there are.
12:36You don't know what she's doing with that turnbuckle.
12:39Oh, come on.
12:40What else could she be doing, Nigel?
12:41Yoga.
12:42Yoga?
12:44What?
12:45Standing switch.
12:46Yep, nicely done.
12:47Another standing switch by the champion.
12:51Oh, wait a minute.
12:52She's reaching out for the turnbuckle.
12:54Oh, it might move me.
12:55Right in front of the air pressure.
12:57Get rid of her.
12:59Throw her out of here.
13:00Wait a minute.
13:01It's Dr. Rosa.
13:04And look at that.
13:05Look at that time.
13:07You've got Dr. Rosa every time after him.
13:11They're going at it, baby.
13:11Well, we have to know this one was far from over.
13:14Tooth and nail on the outside.
13:16Meanwhile, both ladies on the inside
13:18watching what's going on.
13:19There goes the power.
13:24And the shot comes out.
13:26Got it.
13:27Here comes Willow Nightingale.
13:28She couldn't do it the first time.
13:31Has the adrenaline this time, though.
13:33Made with a power ball.
13:35One, two, three.
13:37She's got it.
13:40Here's your winner,
13:41the CMLL Women's World Champion,
13:45Willow Nightingale.
13:51Wow.
13:52Despite the efforts of Taya Thalpery,
13:56still a win for the CMLL World Champion.
14:07That's right.
14:08Coming up this Wednesday, another elimination match.
14:11Chris Steadlander will battle
14:13former friend, Willow Nightingale.
14:16Up next, the Ring of Honor World
14:20Six-Man Tag Team Championship will be decided.
