Melina is a part of the National Wrestling Alliance and her most recent match aired on the 6/29 episode of Powerrr during which she took on Kylie Rae.
At AEW’s Homecoming show, Leyla Hirsch defeated The Bunny to earn a shot at Kamille’s NWA World Women’s Championship and that match was made official for EmPower. Along with those two championship bouts, the NWA Women’s Invitational Cup is scheduled for EmPower and the winner gets a NWA Women’s Title match.
