Janai Kai On Facing HANAKO At MLW Summer Of the Beasts, Wanting To Face International Talent

Janai Kai battles STARDOM wrestler HANAKO at MLW Summer of Beasts tonight, and she recently spoke about facing more overseas stars in a new interview. Kai will defend the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Championship against HANAKO on Thursday’s show and she spoke about the match and more with Fightful. You can see highlights below:

On wanting to face more international stars: “So that was another conversation that I had with Court. He did let me know there will be more opponents for me coming from overseas. For example, HANAKO, who I’m facing next from Stardom, I will be defending my championship against her. So I’m very, very much looking forward to that. But yeah, I express that I want more opponents that are from overseas or different styles so I can really test myself. Because that’s what I’m really looking for in general. I wanna wrestle people who are about the same level I am or even better, who’s gonna really push me to my limits.”

On defending the title at a Three Legacies Wrestling show in May: “I think it’s both. For the last one where I did defend it outside of MLW, it was the promoter asking Court if it would be cool and they were totally okay with it, which was [Hasten Forever’s promotion?] and I defended it at.”
