KPW stars were in the midst of the action of NZWPW's showcase event of the year.  Commentator Blair The Flair' returned to call the action at the eleventh annual 'Powerplay' event, as he had at the first.  Wrestlers from KPW, NZWPW and the Hughes Academy thrilled the Levin crowd with a stunning evening of professional wrestling.  

The following are the quick results from the event:

- Tornado Tag Team match for the NZWPW Tag Team Championship:  Rodeo Drive (KPW's Bryant and NZWPW's Chad Howard) versus the Wainui Express (Hayden Thiele and Jade Priest) (champs): in the midst of the frenetic, frantic free-for-all, Priest caught Howard in the cravat driver for the pinfall victory to retain the championship.

- The Hughes Academy's "The Standard Hero" Graham Hughes versus KPW's Kade Morgan "3G":  Hughes hit the Tomorrow Driver for the win by pinfall.

- KPW Women's Championship match: Frankie Quinn versus Scarlett (champ).  Quinn hit a sitout facebuster from the second rope on her opponent for the win by pinfall to win the championship!

- "Champ versus Champ" "bragging rights" match:  "The A-List Assassin" Charlie Roberts (Hughes Academy Heavyweight Champion) versus Shane "the Shooter" Sinclair (KPW Heavyweight Champion):  locked in a devastating Texas Cloverleaf for the second time, having suffered a sustained assault on his injured knee, Sinclair passed out before being able to submit; referee Damo stopped the match and awarded the victory to Charlie Roberts.
