4-way AAA Luchadora Eliminator signed for Super Series in Atlanta Sept 18 Who will win a shot at Taya Valkyrie's World Featherweight Title?

(ATLANTA, GA) – Major League Wrestling today announced a AAA luchadores eliminator: Lady Shani vs. Lady Flammer vs. La Hiedra vs. Reina Dorado for MLW: SUPER SERIES'22 presented by MLA from greater Atlanta on Sunday, September 18 at the Space Event Center at 6100 Live Oak Pkwy in Norcross, Georgia 30093. The card is a FUSION TV taping, airing on beIN SPORTS nationwide on cable and dish and in over 60 countries around the world. Purchase tickets at http://www.LuchaTickets.com. The world's grandest lucha libre organization, AAA, is sending FOUR of its top luchadoras to the inter-promotional Super Series'22... and there's a golden carrot for the winner of this 4-way eliminator: the winner will challenge Taya Valkyrie for the Women's World Featherweight Championship! Lady Shani, a 2-time AAA Reina de Reinas Champion claims to be the perfect combo of beauty and violence and she backs it up, not hesitating to use anything not nailed down. Deceptive with her fighting styles, Shani can transition from hardcore brawling to technical wrestling, which makes her a difficult threat to decode.   Lady Flammer, a second generation luchadora from Monterrey, Nuevo León, México is one of Mexico's most promising new luchadoras. At just 22, she has already claimed the mask and hair of several luchadoras. From Tijuana to Monterrey and all points in-between, Lady Flammer has quickly ignited a path of dominance. La Hiedra, competing in AAA since 2015, Hiedra is a staple of the  promotion. Known as "La Nueva Reyna del Escandalo," which translates to The New Queen of Scandal." A part of the famed Chicano Dynasty, Hiedra is quite possibly a favorite to win the eliminator and challenge Taya.  Last but not least there's Reina Dorada, a black belt martial artist with a vicious background in striking, including a deadly roundhouse kick. A BJJ and Tae Kwon Do practitioner, Dorada brings a unique dimension to her fights, often not seen in lucha libre.  Who will have their hand raised in victory and punch their ticket to a title shot against Taya Valkyrie's World Featherweight Championship?  Find out in Atlanta at MLW Super Series'22.  Learn more at: https://mlw.com/superseries22/.

Consumed by his bitterness and obsessed by ending the popular Microman's meteoric rise in MLW, Medina journeyed to Mexico where for months he sought out the most ruthless, dangerous luchador to join his battle alongside Mini Abismo Negro. Medina would find such a beast in Torreón, Coahuila de Zaragoza. A brute combatant known for his savage, blunt destruction of all in his path, Taurus has is feared throughout Mexico for his barbaric ways. Craving the blood of his adversaries and fascinated by Microman, Taurus has taken up arms in joining Gino Medina's cause. However, this dark trio will be met with resistance as Laredo Kid and Komander have vowed to get Microman's back in this mixed trios collision.  A decorated AAA main eventer, Laredo Kid made his MLW debut in 2019 and nearly won the MLW World Middleweight Title in 2021. Komander, an emerging star in the AAA promotion, is a combination of spectacular speed and innovation.
