It&#8217;s important to note that this match marks the National Wrestling Alliance in-ring debut of the young Wrenkowski, who&#8217;s been making a name for herself across different promotions. In addition to AEW, as mentioned earlier, independent wrestling fans may know her from her work in <strong>Mission Pro Wrestling<\/strong>, <strong>Booker T&#8217;s<\/strong> <strong>Reality of Wrestling<\/strong>, and elsewhere. Wrenkowski&#8217;s first NWA outing will be far from a cakewalk, however, as Melina&#8217;s resume speaks for itself. In <strong>WWE<\/strong> alone, she won 5 women&#8217;s titles, becoming one of the more successful women&#8217;s stars of her era. Her last NWA match took place at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/12\/02\/nwa-hard-times-2\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><strong>Hard Times 2<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, where she was unsuccessful in defeating World Women&#8217;s Champion Kamille. Melina will look to rebound in 2022, starting with a victory over Madi Wrenkowski on NWA Powerrr.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/EavK9wt.jpg\" alt=\"Allysin Kay Kylie Rae\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Kylie Rae Tests Herself Against a Titleholder<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Also in action is <strong>Kylie Rae<\/strong>, as the &#8220;Smiley&#8221; one takes on one-half of the NWA World Women&#8217;s Tag Team Champions, <strong>Allysin Kay<\/strong>. Anyone that has been keeping up with <em>NWA Powerrr<\/em>, as of late, will attest to how Rae has steadily moved up the women&#8217;s tag team scene. Earlier this month, alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/09\/01\/indie-watch-tootie-lynn\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>Tootie Lynn<\/strong><\/a>, Rae picked up a victory over <strong>Missa Kate<\/strong> and <strong>Kamille<\/strong>. To say that this loss infuriated Kamille would be an understatement, as the NWA World Women&#8217;s Champion blew off Kate afterward. This was despite the fact that Kamille wasn&#8217;t the one pinned. &#8220;Smiley&#8221; Kylie Rae has considerable momentum on her side and it may come in handy as she battles Allysin Kay. Even though this is a one-on-one encounter, the result here may determine whether Rae and her newfound partner, Lynn, move closer to the women&#8217;s tag team titles.
