Background

edit

As part of the NWA's move to The CW app, NWA Signature Live Events act as tapings for NWA Powerrr, with matches taped for future episodes.

On November 29, 2023, the NWA announced that Paranoia, its first Signature Live Event, would take place on January 13, 2024, at Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.[1][2]

Storylines

edit

The event featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Storylines were produced during the sixteenth season of the NWA's weekly series, Powerrr.[3]
