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 twentieth season of the NWA's weekly series, Powerrr.[2]
On the November 19 episode of NWA Powerrr, Natalia Markova challenged Kenzie Paige for the NWA World Women's Championship However, the match ended on a disqualification after Tiffany Nieves came out and attacked Paige, costing Markova the match. 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.[3] 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.[4]
