Ruby Soho Defeats Skye Blue, Advances To Owen Hart Tournament Finals On AEW Dynamite
Ruby Soho just made a little bit of history. On the July 12 episode of "AEW Dynamite," she defeated Skye Blue to advance to the finals of the Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament, making her the first wrestler, man or woman, to advance to the finals on two occasions. Last year, Soho lost to Britt Baker in the finals at Double or Nothing, where Baker's boyfriend, Adam Cole, won the men's tournament, defeating Samoa Joe in the finals.
The match was competitive, but Blue made a mistake when she climbed to the top turnbuckle to attempt some sort of high-flying maneuver. Soho then crotched her on the top rope, grabbed her by the wrist and yanked her into an avalanche short-arm No Future (the former Riott Kick when she was in WWE) to get the pin. In advancing to the finals this Saturday night on "Collision," Soho will face the winner of the other semifinal between Ring of Honor Women's World Champion Athena and Willow Nightingale. That will be recorded Wednesday night and air on this Friday's episode of "Rampage."
