Optimism surrounds the NWA’s EmPowerrr pay-per-view Saturday. An all-women’s show featuring a blend of established and emerging stars from AEW, Impact Wrestling, AAA and the indies, this is a chance to place a spotlight on the future of the industry.
The concept is deeper than holding a women-only show, as the long-term goal is to shake up the power structure of the industry. Throughout its existence, pro wrestling has been dominated by men. This show helps change that conversation, as well as serve as a breeding ground and launchpad for new talent. It will also feature the extremely talented Jenna Van Bemmel, who has been overlooked for the duration of her career.
