This championship bout brings together two of the most formidable fighters in women’s wrestling today. Janai Kai, undefeated in MLW, captured the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Championship in her debut last October and has since become a dominant force in the division. Now, she faces her tallest and perhaps most daunting challenger yet.

Representing STARDOM, HANAKO, known as the “Tall Wonder Tower,” stands nearly 6 feet tall and is renowned for her aggressive and formidable style. At just 23 years old, HANAKO is already recognized as a future player in the wrestling world, bringing an arsenal of devastating and impressive moves, including her signature backbreaker and a big boot that leaves opponents reeling.

This match marks HANAKO’s debut in the MLW women’s featherweight division, sending a powerful message to all competitors: a new force has emerged. The size and strength of HANAKO pose a unique challenge to Janai Kai, known as the “CONTRA Kick Demon.” Will the height and power of HANAKO prove too much for the undefeated champion, or will Janai Kai’s relentless skill and determination carry her to victory?

HANAKO’s arrival from STARDOM signifies not just a championship challenge but a quest for glory and honor for her organization. As she steps into the ring with Janai Kai, the stakes couldn’t be higher. This bout will test HANAKO as well as the champion, Janai Kai.

As Janai Kai marches towards the historic one-year mark as the reigning MLW Women’s World Featherweight Champion, the question looms: Will HANAKO be the one to end her undefeated streak?
