ROH PURE Title Tournament Block A Semifinal Match
Fred Yehi vs Tracy Williams
Fred backs Tracy into the corner for a clean break before Tracy locks in a hammer lock before Fred goes to the ropes to use his first of three rope breaks. Tracy immediately reapplies the hammer lock and Fred instinctively grabs the ropes and uses his second rope break. An upset Fred then hits Tracy with an exploder suplex as we go to commercial.
We come back from the break to Fred still in control before Tracy comes back with a back elbow. Tracy hits a tornado DDT off of the top before Fred blocks a cross face before Tracy hits Fred with a piledriver for a near fall that Fred breaks with his final rope break. Tracy then locks in the cross face before Fred gets to the ropes and pulls himself up before Tracy locks in a dragon sleeper for the tap and the win.
Winner: Tracy Williams defeats Fred Yehi via submission to advance to the finals of Block A.
