NWA Powerrr Review - April 16, 2024

By Graham "GSM" Matthews

The Fixers def. J.A.C. and Tim Storm

Storm was advertised as having a mystery partner (I must've missed whatever happened to Jax Dane), and he ended up choosing someone I've never heard of before. Hell, I don't think J.A.C. has made a single appearance on Powerrr prior to this, either. It was a perfectly passable match, but J.A.C. wasn't particularly impressive and then he ate the pinfall loss. Perhaps this is leading to Storm picking a better partner, so hopefully the payoff is worth it if so.

Taylor Rising def. Miss Starr

Starr is playing her new heel character well, as seen in this match where she pretended to have a neck injury coming into it and that factoring into the finish. The match itself wasn't great, but it was mostly decent and they had a nice dynamic. Starr winning probably would have made more sense unless this will turn into a feud between them or if Rising is headed for a shot at the NWA World Women's Championship.

NWA World Tag Team Champions Blunt Force Trauma def. The Immortals

The Immortals relinquished their NWA United States Tag Team Championship for this opportunity. Between that and knowing that Aron Stevens was at ringside yet falling for his interference anyway, they were made to look like total idiots here. It didn't help that it was a largely plodding main event with nothing interesting about it. Blunt Force Trauma aren't interesting in general and need to drop the belts soon.

Overall Show

The quality of Powerrr has certainly improved on the whole since the new season started on The CW, but this was one of the weaker shows yet. The first two matches felt random and weren't very good, and although the NWA World Tag Team Championship was defended in the main event, I largely found that to be boring. At least we have Kenzie Paige vs. Natalia Markova for the NWA World Women's Championship to look forward to on next week's show.
