Backstage, May Valentine is with Joe Alonzo. Obviously, he did not develop any humility over the holidays and he does not want to face Alex Misery. Doesn’t need anything fancy except his handsome face and promises on the next NWA Powerrr he will take him out of his misery.
We come back to “Who Wants to Be A Spectacular?, with Billy Corgan sitting in with Rush and Rolando Freeman on (mostly Rolando) picking Tyler Midas for their team, and the disastrous loss. All three men agree he was not a Spectacular and say thanks to Midas and good luck in his future endeavors. As for the other participants, they all gave their notice they did not want to be considered as alternates. So who does that leave?
Corgan offers Slade, who gives Walking Weapon vibes, and he wants to turn The Spectaculars into winners. Rush is high on him, and Rolando isn’t sure. But, it’s the only option they got, since Corgan says they gotta win or they are out.
(Author’s Note: Yeah, I know there’s a “reducing roster” joke in there, but I prefer to go above low-hanging fruit like that.)
Now let’s get back to ringside for women’s action between…

Tiffany Nieves vs. Ruthie Jay
This is the debut of La Princesa on POWERRR after the Samhain pre-show facing the Five Star Athlete, and she is not impressed.
Jay has the upper hand early in the match but it’s not long before Nieves yanks her arm and gives it a single-arm flatliner. Jay comes back with a drop toehold, but Nieves continues to target the bad arm and gives her a hammerlock slam on the mat. Jay tries to stage a comeback and nails a Northern Lights suplex but cannot hang on due to the bad wing. Both women go to a series of near-fall reversals, but Nieves kicks her off and Jay falls face-first into the middle turnbuckles and cinches a deep armbar. Jay tries to get to the ropes but finally taps out from the pain.
Your Winner via Submission: Tiffany Nieves
Nieves definitely has a lot of promise, and it’ll be interesting to see her development in the future.
Valentine is now interviewing with The Slimeballz. They will face The Country Gentleman next week on POWERRR but they send a message to AJ and KC Cazana they will learn that once they get in the ring with them… it’s Slime Time.
Nice catchphrase. Let’s see if their wrestling skills are also up to par.
At The Podium with Davis is the NWA Women’s World Champion, Kenzie Paige. She talks over the boos of the Nashville crowd on her upcoming match with Samantha Starr. She addresses “Sammy” and doesn’t think she’s quite a star in her eyes. Paige lets it be known that she will have her Pretty Security accompanying her at ringside and she will bring hell to Starr in Sarasota, FL.
Now for tag team action in the Main Event with…

Tim Storm and Jax Dane vs. Trevor Murdoch and Paul Burchill
It should be noted that Mike Knox is not with Murdoch at ringside, but Burchill is fighting alongside the former NWA World Champion. Curioser and curioser.
Storm and Murdoch start out with nice standing switches as Murdoch displays his technical prowess. Storm is able to take down the big man and Murdoch takes a powder outside the ring to reassess the situation. He gets back in the squared circle to knock Storm down to the mat. Now Burchill tags in and he proceeds to stomp his arm, but Mama Storm’s baby boy fires back and gives Burchill a vertical suplex. A tag to Dane and he and Storm double-tackle him as badly as the Titans defensive line. Burchill is more than equal to the task of facing The Dane Event as he gets back in the driver’s seat and gives Dane a Saito suplex. Dane quickly gets up and nails Burchill with a Samoan drop for a two count and then he pops the trunk with his Dane Event clothesline. He locks Burchill in the Trapped City submission, and Murdoch attempts to make the save as he kicks in his head. Dane shrugs it off again, and Murdoch goes out and grabs a steel chair. The ref tells him to drop it, and Murdoch shoves him away. That leaves him no choice but to call for the bell and the ref declares…
Your Winners via Disqualification: Tim Storm and Jax Dane
After the match, Murdoch walks away in disgust, as Dane and Storm corner Burchill. They offer him their hands and Burchill shakes them both. With that, you can welcome Burchill to the NWA as the show goes to the credits.
NWA Powerrr - 11/28/2023
Final Thoughts:
Burchill looks good after so long, and Murdoch’s frustration may be something that develops over time into a full-blown heel turn. Nieves is someone to keep an eye on as well, and even though the “comedy” of Who Wants To Be A Spectacular is wearing thin, seeing Slade looks promising.
For now, we’ll see ya in seven!
