The "Mega Powers" was a highly successful and influential tag team and storyline in the American Wrestling Alliance (AWA) during the Monday Night Wars in the 1990s. Consisting of two of the AWA's biggest stars, the Mega Powers' rise and eventual implosion played a major role in the AWA's efforts to compete with rival promotions World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and World Wrestling Syndicate (WWS). The Mega Powers' breakup proved to be a watershed moment for the AWA, driving record ratings and elevating both members to even greater stardom, while also showcasing the AWA's ability to craft complex, character-driven narratives that rivaled its competitors.
