Kay Lee Ray beat Kris Statlander to win the EVE Championship at Elite Encounters II on November 8, one of four title changes on the show in Wolverhampton, England.
The main event at The Hangar ended in chaos. Ray superkicked the referee, Session Moth Martina ran in, and an accidental belt shot from Martina hit Statlander. Ray then dropped Statlander onto the EVE title, and Assistant Abi counted the pin to crown a new champion.
It is Ray’s second reign with the EVE Championship. She cut a promo after the match promising to restore the spirit of EVE, and her first defense is already set against Abi on December 11.
Three AEW wrestlers also won gold on the show. Skye Blue beat Lucy Deathmatch in a deathmatch to win the Spirit of EVE Championship, and Marina Shafir beat Miyu Yamashita to win the EVE International Championship. Hai High Mate, the team of Maika and HANAKO, beat Hyperactive to win the EVE Tag Team Championship, ending Hyperactive’s reign after just two days.
Statlander had won the EVE Championship on August 28 and held it for 72 days. Shafir’s win over Yamashita was called one of the best matches of her career so far. The show aired live on MyAEW.
The event took place two days after EVE For Vendetta, and the card was built around the four championship matches. Every title defended on the show changed hands.
Pro Wrestling EVE is the UK women’s promotion, and its shows regularly feature AEW talent. Statlander, Skye Blue and Shafir all wrestle for AEW, and all three were in title matches on the same night.
What is confirmed is the four title changes and Ray’s first defense against Abi. What is not confirmed is whether Statlander gets a rematch, or when the other new champions defend their titles.
