MLW to crown first Women’s Featherweight Champion at Kings of Colosseum

MLW is set to crown the first Women’s Champion in the history of the promotion.

The inaugural MLW Women’s Featherweight Champion will be crowned in a match between Taya Valkryie and Holidead at Kings of Colosseum on Friday, May 13. The show is being held at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.

Holidead has been a member of the MLW women’s featherweight division since it was introduced in September of last year.

Kings of Colosseum will be the first time that Valkyrie has wrestled for MLW since 2018.

MLW notes that it plans to have multiple women’s weight classes in the future.
