Kelly Klein has defeated Sumie Sakai, Madison Rayne, and Karen Q in a 4 Corners Survival match at Final Battle to win the WOH Championship. Klein is just the second ever champion in the title’s lineage after Sakai won the inaugural title 8 months ago.
Sakai had defeated Klein at SuperCard of Honor XII in April to win the championship. She successfully defended the title 7x during her reign.
Kelly Klein WOH Champion
The 27-year-old Klein made her pro debut in 2007 wrestling under the name Mary Elizabeth.
Klein spoke about the possibility of being the new WOH Champion on a recent ROH media call:
“With me as champion, I’m still going to be ‘The Gatekeeper'”, Klein said. “I’m going to be in a position where not only do I have the ability to force people to prove themselves just to be in Women Of Honor, I’m going to be the keeper of the championship and the face of the division.”
The Women Of Honor division has grown in 2018 with the addition of the championship. Tenille Dashwood is currently on the shelf with a shoulder injury following her unsuccessful title match against Sakai at Death Before Dishonor back in September. Karen Q, Britt Baker, Madison Rayne, and several others make up what is starting to become a pretty talented division.
