Kaz Hayashi is a Japanese standout known for bringing a "puroresu" technical edge to the cruiserweight division. After years of competing as a top-tier singles and tag team specialist, he has solidified his reputation as one of the most reliable and agile performers on the roster.
The brief, dominant era of "Los Dragones" has come to an abrupt end following Chavo Guerrero Jr.'s loss of the Cruiserweight Championship. With the faction disbanded and his long-time Jung Dragons partner Yun Yang sidelined with an injury, Kaz Hayashi finds himself competing as a singles competitor once again. Despite the lack of backup, Hayashi remains a formidable threat to anyone in the division, possessing the technical skill and veteran experience to reclaim his spot at the top.
