Background

edit

On March 2, 2024, at Hard Times 4, which took place at the Dothan Civic Center in Dothan, Alabama, the NWA announced that it would return to the venue for Looks That Kill on December 14, 2024.[1]

Storylines

edit

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]

At NWA 76, Natalia Markova won the Burke Invitational Gauntlet after last eliminating Tiffany Nieves, granting her an opportunity at the NWA World Women's Championship.[3] Markova would invoke her title shot on the November 19 episode of NWA Powerrr, where she challenged Kenzie Paige for the title. However, the match ended on a disqualification after Nieves came out and attacked Paige, costing Markova the match.[4] Nieves, who had been critical of Markova's various opportunities at the title, would later admit in an exclusive interview to interfering in order to prevent Markova from becoming champion.[5] As a result of this and the lingering feud between the two women, the NWA announced on November 27 that Markova and Nieves would face off at Looks That Kill in a steel cage match, marking the first women's cage match in professional wrestling held in the state of Alabama.[6]

At Samhain 2, "HollyHood" Haley J defeated Natalia Markova and Kylie Paige in a three-way elimination match to become number one contender to the NWA World Women's Championship,[7] for which she will challenge Kenzie Paige at Looks That Kill.[8]

Also at Samhain 2, Daisy Kill and Talos became number one contenders to the NWA World Tag Team Championship after defeating The Immortals (Kratos and Odinson).[7] The NWA would later announce that Kill and Talos would challenge champions Mike Knox and Trevor Murdoch for the titles at Looks That Kill.[9]
