NWA Empower producer Mickie James took to Twitter Wednesday to outline the rules for their first-ever Women’s Invitational Cup at the August 28th all-women’s pay-per-view.
Now announced as the main event of the show, the Invitational will be a ten-woman gauntlet match comprised of selections from herself, Madusa, Gail Kim and Jazz. Similar to a Royal Rumble, two women will start with a new entrant every two minutes with eliminations by pin or submission only.
The Cup winner will then get a Women’s title shot at the following night’s NWA 73 PPV, facing either champion Kamille or Empower challenger Leyla Hirsch.
Chelsea Green, Lady Frost, Debbie Malenko, Bianca Carelli, Tootie Lynn and Jamie Senegal have already been announced for the Cup with four more entrants to go.
Empower will also feature Impact Knockouts Champion Deonna Purrazzo against Melina and a tournament to crown the new Women’s Tag Team Champions with one team (Allysin Kay and Marti Belle) announced.
