Tim Storm is a fifty-plus year-old man and twenty-plus year veteran of wrestling. Despite his age and experience, many fans had never heard of him until he became the NWA Worlds Champion in early 2016. Many were skeptical of Storm and the promotion when he captured the title, but he quickly proved himself a worthy champion. However, his reign was abruptly ended when Nick Aldis defeated him for the belt.

Still, his days as NWA champion helped to re-establish the Alliance’s place in modern wrestling and get the company back into the spotlight. Now, however, Storm is set to face a young upstart from the Championship Wrestling from Hollywood promotion in Peter Avalon. As cocky and brash as they come, Avalon has held titles of his own throughout the West Coast and has even defeated Storm previously.

At NWA 70, the ongoing rivalry between them will reach a head as Storm will again attempt to teach the young wrestler a lesson in humility. Meanwhile, Avalon hopes to use the former NWA Champion as a stepping stone on his way up the ladder to greater prominence.
