NWA Locks Down Former WCW Star Juventud Guerrera for Upcoming Match

The pro wrestling world has many legends who could draw fans to an event. It really helps if that person has a lot of nostalgia associated with their name, and the NWA just locked down The Juice for an exciting show this week.

Legendary luchador Juventud Guerrera is set to make his debut on NWA Powerrr, the National Wrestling Alliance’s flagship show, on September 17. Guerrera is a globally recognized wrestling star, and he will defend his NWA Krossfire Wrestling Championship against The Masked Zyon in what promises to be a thrilling match. The Juice has been featured in the pro wrestling world for years, including a cancelled run in AEW, although he also made it clear that he’s not finished in AEW yet.

NWA Chief Operating Officer Joe Galli released a statement as part of a press release about this match. It was stated that the company is more than excited to showcase The Juice on their event, because they are always looking for the biggest names possible.

“The National Wrestling Alliance has always attracted the biggest names in professional wrestling. We are excited to showcase a star of Juventud Guerrera’s magnitude. This week, our fans will see ‘The Juice’ put his NWA KFW title on the line against a top NWA challenger.”
