The highly anticipated encounter between Jamie Hayter and Miyu Yamashita has been officially scheduled for March 6, just two days before the Pro-Wrestling: EVE promotion’s Wrestle Queendom 8 event. The match was arranged after Hayter, a rising star from AEW, issued a direct challenge to Yamashita. However, Yamashita announced that she has prior commitments for Wrestle Queendom, prompting both to settle their clash earlier at EVE’s March 6 show.
In her announcement on social media, Yamashita stated,
“I already have plans for #WrestleQueendom. So let’s not wait — let’s fight sooner. I’m always ready to kick your head off, @jmehytr. I can’t wait to meet you in the ring.”?Miyu Yamashita, Wrestler
