Title vs Hair match added to MLW Kings of Colosseum in Dallas January 11

Major League Wrestling (“MLW”) today announced a Title vs. Hair match: MLW Women’s World Featherweight Champion Janai Kai vs. Delmi Exo for MLW Kings of Colosseum, presented on YouTube free from the NYTEX Sports Centre, in North Richland Hills, Texas on Saturday, January 11.

Tickets can be purchased at MLWDallas.com. Tickets start at just $15!

The stakes have never been higher for two female fighters. The reigning MLW Women’s World Featherweight Champion Janai Kai will defend her title against the former champion Delmi Exo, with her hair on the line in this bitter grudge match that has captivated fans for over a year.

The rivalry between Janai Kai and Delmi Exo is one of the most personal in MLW history. It began in October 2023, when Janai Kai shocked the world by debuting as the mysterious phantom challenger to Delmi Exo’s championship. Known as the “Kick Demon,” Kai unleashed her buzzsaw striking style to dethrone Exo and has since dominated the division, defeating top-ranked challengers from the United States, Japan, and Mexico. Now a fearsome member of CONTRA Unit, Kai’s alliance with the terrorizing shadowy crusaders has made her even more dangerous.

Meanwhile, Delmi Exo has been on her own journey of redemption, aligning with César Durán’s Azteca Lucha organization to rebuild her momentum. But their animosity escalated in Chicago, where Janai Kai attacked Delmi Exo following her match, viciously cutting her hair and disrespecting the Mexican flag in a move that shocked fans and crossed every line of decency.

Following a big victory at ONE-SHOT, where Delmi Exo triumphed under the guidance of César Durán, Exo issued the ultimate challenge: a Hair vs. Title match. In this high-stakes bout, Janai Kai risks her championship while Delmi Exo puts her hair on the line, a stipulation that carries deep significance in the lucha libre tradition.

The Rules
The rules are simple but unforgiving:
If Janai Kai wins, Delmi Exo will have her head shaved in front of the Dallas crowd.
If Delmi Exo prevails, she will reclaim the MLW Women’s World Featherweight Championship, ending Janai Kai’s reign of dominance.

This is more than a match; it’s a battle for pride, legacy, and revenge, with each competitor gambling something deeply personal.

Since dethroning Exo, Janai Kai has become a symbol of dominance, dispatching challengers with her brutal kicks without remorse. However, Delmi Exo’s resurgence has proven she is more determined than ever to reclaim her place at the top of the division. With César Durán in her corner, she has the momentum and the strategy to potentially outwit the reigning champion.

The first-ever Hair vs. Title match promises to be a defining moment in MLW history. Witness the culmination of this heated rivalry live in Dallas on January 11 at the NYTEX Sports Centre. Tickets are available now at MLW.com.

Hair vs. Title. Pride vs. Legacy. Janai Kai vs. Delmi Exo. Only one will leave Dallas victorious, and only one will leave with their head held high—and their hair intact.

Tickets start at $10 at MLWDallas.com. Tickets will also be available day of show at the box office unless the event sales out in advance.
