We’re catching up with NWA Shockwave with episode two. Featured here is a Women’s World title bout as Priscilla Kelly challenges champion—at the time of the taping—Thunder Rosa.
We also have Kamille in action and a friendly match between friends Eli Drake and Erik Watts. We have an interesting promo from Aron Stevens which seems like a persona change or just adding to it.
Let’s dive in!
NWA Shockwave #2
Kamille vs. Simone Sherie
Eli Drake vs. Watts
NWA Women’s World Title: Thunder Rosa (c) vs. Priscilla Kelly
Mid-Tier
The opener with Kamille taking on Simone Sherie was a good bout. This wasn’t another Kamille Destruction Tour match where she just plows through an opponent.
These women wrestlers based out West are a different breed because they’ve been giving Kamille a bit of trouble for the past two episodes. It was a brief, enjoyable contest.
Drake vs. Watts was also solid and was the only match with a rivalry story to it. With more time this would’ve been a pretty dope TV bout.
You won’t see anything special but it would be a great match to kick off a running rivalry on NWA Shockwave.
Exotic-Tier
The Women’s Championship main event was really good. Thunder Rosa has been making waves since last year. Priscilla Kelly is someone I mainly saw as Jimmy Havoc’s valet in Major League Wrestling.
She can deliver in the ring. Priscilla can take a beating and her selling and glassed over expressions sold me on her performance. This was a good pre-Serena Deeb defense for the belt and another in a couple of strong defenses for Thunder Rosa.
NWA Shockwave #2 Verdict: Mid-Tier (7/10)
Another good episode for cruise control mode NWA. I’ve said that an hour is a perfect length for a wrestling TV show but this even shorter showtime is really working.
It means that we’re getting mostly matches back to back since the time has to be properly used. A 30-40 minute show split 50/50? Mediocre. The same TV show with mostly promos? Audacious.
It still feels like a secondary show to NWA Power instead of a supplemental show but this episode solidified the action-heavy approach that NWA is taking here.
We’ll see if the company keeps up this approach and the momentum here in episode three!
