NWA Powerrr Recap (11/5): New Champion Crowned, Thunder Rosa Debut, What's Next For Tim Storm?

Welcome to Wrestling Inc's live coverage of the National Wrestling Alliance's weekly episodic, Powerrr. Today's show was taped from the GPB Studios in Atlanta Georgia, and streaming on the official NWA Facebook and Youtube Pages. Feel free to sound off in the comments, and enjoy the show.

Two minutes until the show begins, we get a recap of Ricky Starks confrontation with Aron Stevens at the promo table from last week, which ended with Starks slapping Stevens across his face. The two would go on to have a match that Starks would win. Also last week, Thunder Rosa made her first appearance when she offered Marti Belle a handshake...Belle denied it. Rosa will be in action later in the show.

Recap of Eli Drake's arrival into the NWA. Footage includes Drake admitting that he wants a chance to prove he belongs at the top, while playing the National champion James Storm against world champion Nick Aldis. That led to a six-man tag in last week's main event, which was won by Team Aldis. Due to the victory, Aldis' friend, Colt Cabana, will get a championship rematch against James Storm for the National championship. That match...is today's main event.

Powerrr intro song.

Joe Galli and Jim Cornette welcome us to another edition of Powerrr. They send it over to David Marquez, whose first guest is Colt Cabana. Cabana says that last week he secured a victory for Team Aldis over Team Storm earning him his title opportunity against James Storm. "I am 100%...and I ready to go. I'll see you tonight." Cabana leaves with the crowd giving him a huge ovation.

Aron Stevens is out next with Marquez. Footage of his loss last week to Ricky Starks is played. Stevens reminds Marquez to tell the crowd not to look him in the eye. He calls Stark' victory a fluke. "You can call it ring rust. You can call it whatever. Bottom line...I am better than him. I have the pedigree, the career, and the track record to prove it." Stevens announces that he's petitioned the NWA for a rematch. He then begins quoting Shakespeare to a chorus of boos.

Commercial from the world champion Nick Aldis. He announces that NWA characters will be in the new 8-bit video game RetroMania Wrestling. The game will be released in 2020.

"We are willing to put our title shot on the line if you give us a shot at you guys." Dave responds: "We beat you guys already...but you know what? We'll think about it." They leave. Crowd chants "you suck."

Cut to an interview between Galli and former champion Tim Storm. Galli asks what's going through Storm's mind after two big losses. "There's a lot going on in my mind right now," responds Storm. "Part of being on that mountain top is that you can't be there forever." He talks about attempting to redeem himself by challenging Aldis for the title, but that he doesn't regret anything, including losing. Galli reminds him that there are other titles in the NWA that he could compete for. "Just hearing you say that breaks my heart. Every championship in the NWA is important. I would be honored to hold any of those. I just don't know at this point if that's what the future is." Nick Aldis interrupts the interview and pulls Storm aside. Aldis tells Storm that none of this happens without what he's done. "We built this place together. Don't let Eli Drake get in your head. You know who you are." Storm with tears in his eyes thanks Aldis. Segment ends.
