Within the last couple of months, “The Protagonist of Pro Wrestling” Kidd Bandit made her highly-anticipated return to the ring following months off. The anime-loving grappler took time away to heal from injuries and receive gender-affirming care, and now season three of her own series has begun, highlighted by an acclaimed match against modern technical wrestling god Zack Sabre Jr. at Effy’s Big Gay Brunch over WrestleMania weekend.
Now Kidd Bandit is back on the road as she builds up momentum on the independent scene once more. For her match on POW! Pro Wrestling’s Brilliant Adventure this past weekend, Bandit entered to Nine Inch Nails’ 2005 hit “The Hand That Feeds” to face Marcus Eriks.
Her full entrance can be seen below:

The match is Kidd Bandit’s last before she tours Japan, and the IRL fighting game character is bringing wrestling some much-needed representation. For more on Kidd Bandit, check out her Linktree.
