Madusa, Renee Young, and Melissa Santos welcomed the fans to St. Louis, Missouri, the site of the NWA Empowerrr! pay-per-view. They were producing two weeks' worth of television from the famous Chase Auditorium. Also with them in commentary were Nigel McGuinness and Chiharu from the Europa and Asia divisions, respectively. This week's episode would feature three special challenge matches that would encompass any of the three divisions.
Match One ~ "The Nightmare" Rhea Ripley vs. Anna Jay
This match came about after Jay distracted Ripley during the Wrestle Princess Cup Tournament, costing Rhea a match against Momo Watanabe. Jay explained it as "just business" and that she only interfered to give herself the best chance to win in the next round. Rhea did not take this response favorably and made the challenge. Dr. Britt Baker attempted to interfere, but got a boot to the face for her trouble. Rhea then finished the rookie phenom off with "Riptide."
Winner = Rhea Ripley by pinfall in 15:10
Match Two ~ "No Disqualification" ~ "Death Machine" Jessicka Havok vs. Katya Kavaleva
This challenge match came about because Katya was disqualified against Havok during the Amazon Cup Tournament. Havok gladly accepted. This was an interesting fight as Katya is a World Champion Kickboxer. At 6'5," the towering Kavaleva, who typically functions as GM Karlee Perez' personal Security, is able to reach an opponent with her educated legs without getting too close for vulnerability. Havok finally got ahold of her taller opponent and exercised her will for several minutes. Katya finally gained the upper hand for good after dropping Havok on the ringside steps. When Havok recovered, she ate a "Head Kick" that took her out.
Winner = Katya Kavaleva by pinfall in 14:32
Match Three ~ NWA: Femme Fatales World Bantamweight Championship ~ Natsumi vs. The Starlight Kid
Winner and NEW NWA: Femme Fatales World Bantamweight Champion = The Starlight Kid by pinfall in 16:59
The announcers praised the match and the competitors for a fiercely-contested battle. Kid finally broke through after a long title drought. Since joining "Oedo Tai," her career has taken off once again. Madusa gave her normal closing remarks ("Keep on rockin' and rollin!") to close the episode.
