Contra Unit is a villainous professional wrestling stable, currently performing for Major League Wrestling (MLW) and Southern Honor Wrestling (SHW). It consists of leader Mads Krule Krügger, Ikuro Kwon, Janai Kai, Minoru Suzuki and the Sentai Death Squad. In SHW, the group also consists of Brooklyn Creed, Joe Black and Romeo Quevedok.[1][2]
The stable was formed at the SuperFight event on February 2, 2019 when Jacob Fatu and Josef Samael made their MLW debut and formed their alliance with Simon Gotch by attacking his opponent Ace Romero.[3] The group made its televised debut at Intimidation Games and dominated MLW roster throughout the year, becoming the top villainous group of the company.[4] The group cemented its dominance over MLW when Fatu won the World Heavyweight Championship at Kings of Colosseum on July 6, 2019.[5] Ikuro Kwon was added to the group as its fourth member in August.
Following a storyline where Contra took over and shut down MLW in May 2020 and were subsequently ousted from power in October of the same year, they were joined a masked man known as The Black Hand of Contra on November 18, who was then renamed "Mads Krügger" on the December 2 episode of Fusion. The group would then add Daivari to their ranks at the 2021 Kings of Colosseum. The group would lose Gotch and Daivari and then seem to disband at War Chamber 2021 after losing Fatu and Samael, with Kwon announcing his renouncement from the group.
At SuperFight on January 3, 2024, Krügger made his return to MLW, along with Contra Unit's Sentai Death Squad, attacking Jacob Fatu after his match with Yuji Nagata and then hit Fatu with a Baklei bottle. At War Chamber on March 29, 2024, Ikuro Kwon returned to MLW and assisted Contra Unit in attacking The Second Gear Crew (Matthew Justice and 1 Called Manders) and CozyMax (Shigeo Okumura and Satoshi Kojima).[6]
