There are two kinds of hurricanes: the kind that blow down trees and cancel flights, and the kind that kicks the ever-loving hell out of you in a wrestling ring somewhere between Düsseldorf and Tokyo. Aliss Ink, also known to Japanese fans as the “Scandinavian Hurricane,” is most definitely the second type.
Born somewhere north of sensible weather and raised in a land of socialized healthcare and Viking ghosts, Ink stormed into professional wrestling in 2018 and has been leaving behind a path of suplexed bodies, stunned promoters, and some truly exceptional eyeliner ever since.
Beginnings: From Katana to Ink
Aliss Ink didn’t start with a storm warning. She debuted under the name Esk Katana, which sounds like the name of a villain in a Swedish cyberpunk noir. Her first match in Let’s Go Wrestling—yes, that’s really what it’s called—was a mixed tag where she and Ender Kara (another name that belongs in Mortal Kombat) won against opponents who likely regret ever lacing up that night.
From there, it was a slow burn through the gritty European indies. Wrestling in Sweden, Norway, Denmark—places where the fans are quiet, respectful, and slightly concerned for your safety until the bell rings. She appeared in shows for STHLM Wrestling and Svensk Wrestling Syd (Sweden really has a flair for alphabet soup promotion names), and eventually caught the attention of a promotion that trades in serious buzz: Westside Xtreme Wrestling.
wXw: Where Ink Turned Sharp
Germany has a proud history of precision engineering and brutalist architecture. It turns out they also produce exceptional pro wrestling. Ink stormed into wXw’s Femmes Fatales 2022 tournament and won the whole damn thing like she’d been raised on schnitzel and steel chairs.
Let’s be clear—this wasn’t a fluff bracket. She took down Nicky Foxley, Killer Kelly (who has “I break people” energy), and Masha Slamovich (whose last name is Slamovich) to win the tournament in one night. One night. Most people can’t get through Oktoberfest without needing a nap and a new liver.
She followed up by dethroning Baby Allison the next evening to become the wXw Women’s Champion. From zero to hurricane warning in 48 hours.
But Aliss Ink isn’t content with wrestling women. No, no. In 2023, she joined the Shortcut to the Top, a battle royal for the Unified World Championship featuring a who’s who of large, angry European men. Did she win? No. But she showed up, threw hands, and reminded the continent that this hurricane doesn’t discriminate by weight class.
Stardom: Sayonara to Safety
After conquering northern Europe, Ink set her compass east—to the land of Joshi, vending machines, and 45-minute classics that make your neck hurt just watching. Ink debuted in World Wonder Ring Stardom in 2023 as the “Scandinavian Hurricane,” because apparently “The Woman Who Just Knocked Out Your Entire Roster” didn’t fit on the poster.
Her first match? Against Syuri. Under UWF Rules. Translation: No ropes, no nonsense, only pain. It ended in a TKO.
But Stardom didn’t send her packing—they handed her another fight. This time against Nanae Takahashi, a legend known for smiling while she concusses you. Another UWF loss. But even in defeat, Ink earned something more valuable than a win: respect.
It was her third match—an eight-woman tag—that sealed the deal. After going to war alongside God’s Eye’s Syuri, Mirai, and Ami Sohrei, the faction offered her a spot. She didn’t hesitate. You don’t get offered a seat at the Queen’s table twice.
The Body Count: Titles, Trophies, and Tornado Warnings
Aliss Ink isn’t just racking up respect. She’s stockpiling gold like she’s preparing for Ragnarok.
In Denmark’s BODYSLAM! Wrestling, she’s been both the Women’s Champion and the promotion’s overall champ. Let’s repeat that: she beat the men. In Scandinavia. That’s like out-drinking a Finn—it’s basically myth.
She’s held the Slam Wrestling Finland Women’s Title, the Frank Andersson Nordic Wrestling Championship, and has a trophy case filled with things like “Scandi Graps Invitational Winner” and “Hunger For Gold 2022.” They sound like names of metal albums, but they’re all real. We checked.
And let’s not forget the PWI Women’s 250, where she ranked No. 70 in 2023, and the PWI 500, where she broke into the top 300 in 2024. For a woman from a region known more for death metal and depressing dramas, Aliss Ink is putting Northern Europe on the wrestling map.
Style: Like Getting Hit by a Northern Storm Front
Aliss Ink’s style is, in a word, vicious. She’s built like a Valkyrie with a gym membership and throws with the kind of conviction that suggests childhood trauma and too many icy mornings. Her finishers don’t just end matches—they end arguments. She has a striking game honed through martial arts, a grappling base that punishes mistakes, and the cardio of a woman used to fighting in cold air uphill both ways.
She doesn’t showboat. She doesn’t play to the crowd. She just fights. If Mjölnir were a wrestler, it would be Aliss Ink.
The Future: Who Stops a Hurricane?
What’s next for the Scandinavian Hurricane? Rumors swirl of a return to Japan, more European titles, and a possible full-time slot in one of America’s big leagues. AEW has flirted. WWE has eyes. And God help them if they actually sign her—because the minute you let a hurricane in, you better start reinforcing the foundation.
But even if she stays on the indie grind, Ink has proven that geography doesn’t matter when you hit like a freight train. She’s redefined what a Nordic wrestler looks like—gone is the stoic stooge in fur. In is the lightning-fast wrecking ball who makes you tap before you even realize she’s locked in the hold.
Final Bell
In a business that thrives on chaos, Aliss Ink is chaos—cold, calculating, and unrelenting. Whether she’s in the ring or in a thunderstorm of praise and bruised egos, one thing is certain:
You don’t stop a hurricane. You survive it—if you’re lucky.
