The match between Ruby Raze and Taya Valkyrie at July 29th’s AWS show in South Gate has been made a no-DQ, falls count anywhere match. This is coming off Taya being stripped of her AAA Reina de Reinas title after winning it in a no-DQ, falls count anywhere match against Ayako Hamada in Tijuana, when it was said she used an illegal choke. Her being stripped of the title has caused a major falling out between her and AAA due to the way it was handled.
