Willow Nightingale is the winner of the Owen Hart Memorial.
The former NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion defeated Ruby Soho in the final round of the tournament on tonight’s AEW Collision from Calgary. Willow survived some cheap tactics by Soho, which included an attempt to use the green spray paint and an illegal eye poke. She would kick out of Soho’s finisher, then hit the gut-wrench powerbomb to win the tournament. Highlights from the matchup can be found below.
