MLW Women’s World Featherweight Championship Set For AZTECA LUCHA Taping

MLW has announced a new championship match for their taping portion of their AZTECA LUCHA event. Here is the announcement:

Janai Kai vs. Miyu Yamashita vs. Delmi Exo vs. Zayda title match signed for May 11 in Chicago

Chicago, IL – Major League Wrestling (“MLW”) today announced Janai Kai (champion) vs. Miyu Yamashita vs. Zayda vs. “God Queen” Delmi Exo for the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Championship at the beIN SPORTS TV taping portion of the AZTECA LUCHA event from the sold out Cicero Stadium in Chicago on Saturday, May 11.

This bout is a part of the beIN SPORTS TV taping portion of the event.

A monumental 4-way battle for the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Championship has been added to the sold MLW May 11 event at Cicero Stadium in Chicago.

Fed up with challengers clamoring for title shots, Janai Kai, against the wishes of Salina de la Renta, has boldly accepted the challenge of facing all three contenders in one epic showdown. Determined to intimidate the entire women’s division and solidify her status as the most dominant fighter and champion in the sport, Janai Kai is prepared to leave everything on the line in front of a sold-out Cicero Stadium.

Leading the charge is the internationally acclaimed Miyu Yamashita, whose reputation as a world-class wrestler precedes her. Making her MLW debut in December, Yamashita delivered a stellar performance against “God Queen” Delmi Exo, emerging victorious in an unforgivingly physical bout. With a background in MMA and karate, Yamashita’s strikes are legendary, setting the stage for a fascinating showdown against the feared striker Janai Kai.

Speaking of Delmi Exo, the former MLW Women’s World Featherweight Champion has been relentless in her pursuit of redemption since losing the title to Kai last October. Despite her unwavering determination to secure a one-on-one rematch, Exo has found herself thwarted by the evasive tactics of Promociones Dorado. Nevertheless, Exo remains a force to be reckoned with, especially now that her career is managed by Cesar Duran.

Rounding out the competition is Zayda, who has long lamented being overlooked for a title opportunity. Now, with her grievances addressed, Zayda finally gets her chance to shine before a capacity crowd at Cicero Stadium, ready to seize the moment and etch her name in MLW history.
