Production
Background
On September 26, 2024, the NWA announced that NWA Shockwave would take place at The OC Theatre in Forney, Texas, on January 11, 2025.[1]
Storylines
The event will feature a number professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines. Wrestlers are portrayed as either heels (those that portray the "bad guys"), faces (the "good guy" characters), or tweeners (characters that are neither clearly a heel or a face) as they follow a series of tension-building events, which culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches as determined by the promotion. Storylines were played out on the twenty-first season of the NWA's weekly series, Powerrr.[2]
On December 21, 2024, the NWA announced an eight-man single-elimination tournament to determine the number one contender to the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship, which would be set to begin at Shockwave.[3] Colby Corino, Sam Adonis, and Tyler Franks were later announced to compete in a three-way play-in match to determine the number eight seed in the tournament,[4] but later Franks was pulled off from this match. The first official match in the tournament was announced on December 27, with The Southern Six's Kerry Morton (#3 seed) facing Wrecking Ball Legursky (#6 seed) of The Fixers.[5] On December 28, Burchill (#4 seed) and Zyon (#5 seed) were announced to wrestle each other in the first round as well.[6]
