A huge name has been announced for the upcoming Ring of Honor Women’s World Championship tournament. Allysin Kay is a former IMPACT Wrestling and NWA world champion. Holding the latter belt for almost the entirety of 2019.

Kay is a free agent having left the NWA in November 2020. She is an experienced wrestler who has a proven championship pedigree.

She will definitely be a name to beat. Having been given a bye through the qualifying rounds, she will be that bit fresher than her opponents. However, another big name already through – with a bye – is Angela Love who is herself a former TNA titleholder. Love is also a former ROH champion and will be all too eager to win this tournament.

Allysin Kay has made sporadic appearances for Ring of Honor in the past, but now has her sights set on making a real and lasting impact for the company. A great way to do this would be winning the tournament and claiming the gold. The title itself is a brand-new championship that is replacing the Women of Honor world championship.

Victory for Allysin Kay would mean she has held gold across three different companies, as well as having made an appearance for WWE in their Mae Young Classic. She also appeared for AEW on the Full Gear pre-show last November.

Allysin Kay is certainly a formidable opponent. Whether she is successful in the tournament or not, there is a lot for ROH fans to be excited about.
