The latest edition of Reflection of Honor reviews Ring of Honor’s Episode #402 comes from Chicago featuring a main event involving Evil & Sanada vs Yuji Nagata & Satoshi Kojima. The Allure made their way to the ring to start the show. Velvet Sky made a declaration that the Allure brought credibility to women’s wrestling, stating that they started the “revolution” before there was an “evolution.”
Angelina Love followed suit, reminding the world that she is a 6-time champion. Mandy Leon addressed the “Twitter trolls” in the crowd as she called them, declaring that she is the “foundation” of women of honor.
Mandy then addressed Kelly Klein, reminding the audience how they humiliated her at the G1 Supercard as if to state that the current roster of contemporary female wrestlers is inferior to The Allure’s.
Suddenly, Jenny Rose and Kelly Klein’s music hit and they made their way to the ring and a fight broke out between the women. Security flooded the ring to break up the fight, but Kelly Klein broke free and jumped at Angelina Love.
The Allure escaped from the ring, but not before Velvet Sky blinded Jenny Rose by shooting hair spray into her eyes.
Kelly Klein boldly stated that it was time for The Allure to back up their tough talk by taking on her and Jenny Rose in a matchup anytime and anywhere in the future.
