Kylie Rae made her NWA debut yesterday at the When Our Shadows Fall PPV. She teamed along with Taryn Terrell, who was making her in-ring return for the first time since 2017. They defeated the team of Thunder Rosa and Melina.
During the broadcast it was announced that Rae had signed with the NWA. According to a report from PW Insider, Rae signing with the NWA required an agreement be made with her former promotion, Impact Wrestling. Rae had last been with Impact in October but departed the organization shortly after she was unable to make a scheduled PPV match against Deonna Purrazzo at Bound for Glory. A deal between the two promotions and Kylie was reportedly reached over the last 4-5 days.
The NWA is taping from June 5th to 7th in the GPB Studios. It’s not clear if Kylie is taking part in the rest of the tapings. She was in Chicago for a Warrior Wrestling show on Saturday but would seemingly be available to film episodes of Powerrr today.
Rae got the pin over Melina in the match, although it was under dubious circumstances. Rae appeared to be working for Terrell’s approval through much of the match, but also seemed to be apologetic to the live fans for any cheating that she did. After Thunder Rosa had carried Terrell to the back, it left Melina and Kylie Rae alone in the ring together. Kylie then rolled Melina up, grabbed the trunks, and got the 3-count. Rae then apologized to the crowd as they booed her heelish tactics.
