SlamFest '25 Match Announcement - Nor `Phoenix` Diana Vs Kylie Rae

SlamFest '25 Match Announcement: Nor "Phoenix" Diana vs. Kylie Rae for the APAC Wrestling Women’s Championship
By SEA Wrestling Editorial

The first official match for SlamFest '25 has been revealed — and it’s a blockbuster.

APAC Wrestling Women’s Champion Nor “Phoenix” Diana will defend her crown against WWE ID’s latest sensation, Kylie Rae, in a cross-promotional showdown that promises to headline highlight reels across Southeast Asia and beyond. Set for August 30, 2025, this marks a major moment in the women’s wrestling calendar — and a milestone in APAC Wrestling’s global recognition.

Kylie Rae is no stranger to high-stakes competition. Known for her infectious energy and crisp technical wrestling, Kylie made her mark in the American indie circuit with standout performances in companies like SHIMMER, RISE, and AEW, before a brief stint in Impact Wrestling. Her ability to connect with fans has always been her superpower, but make no mistake — underneath the bubbly smile is a tactician and a fighter. Now flying the flag for WWE ID, Kylie Rae steps onto Southeast Asian soil looking to make history once again.

On the other side of the ring is Malaysia’s pride: Nor “Phoenix” Diana. An icon, Phoenix shattered boundaries as the world’s first hijabi wrestler and has since proven herself far more than a symbol. As APAC Wrestling’s reigning Women’s Champion and a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, she’s carved out a path all her own. Fans may also recognize her from her rising presence in the U.S., where she’s begun competing under the banner of Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling — holding her own and then some.

This isn’t just a clash of styles or promotions — it’s a meeting of worlds. Two incredible women. One championship. And a future that will be shaped on August 30 at SlamFest ‘25.
