Former WWE talent Kay Lee Ray has been crowned the new EVE Champion. She defeated AEW’s Kris Statlander to win the belt during this weekend’s Elite Encounters II event. Statlander had only held the belt since August where she defeated Session Moth Martina. This was her first defense. This is KLR’s second time as champ, she won this title back in 2019.
The final moments of the match had chaos ensue as KLR knocked out the referee. She then went for the title belt to use it on Statlander, but Martina entered and stopped her. Statlander clotheslined Martina on accident. Once Martina got back up, she clocked Statlander with the belt.
KLR won by using the belt to drop Statlander on it.
After the match, KLR called out Abi the referee for a match in December.
KLR wasn’t the only new champion crowned. AEW’s Marina Shafir defeated Miyu Yamashita to win the EVE International Title. Shafir now has some gold around her waist heading into perhaps her biggest match of her career at AEW’s Full Gear. There, on Nov. 14, she is facing Mercedes Moné for the AEW Women’s World Title.
She won the EVE International Title with the Mother’s Milk submission, ending Yamashita’s reign at 156 days.
The EVE Tag Team Titles changed hands to Hai High Mate (Hanako and Maika), just two days after Hyperactive (Safire Reed and Anita Vaughn) captured the vacant titles.
The title changes didn’t end here….AEW’s Skye Blue is the new Spirit of Eve Champion. She defeated Lucy Deathmatch. Lucy was the inaugural champion.
