Power Slap was meant to premiere early in 2023. However, the infamous sport was delayed after White was recorded by a CCTV camera slapping his wife outside a Mexican Club. However, once all had passed, the sport officially aired and fans received it with as much appreciation as criticism.

The sport is vague in ways of a battle sport. Its options of defense are just about none. The offensive side can only consist of a slap, not a fist, not a jab, but a slap. Anything else will cause a disqualification. The competitors take turns slapping one another until one is declared the winner. Perhaps, a sport where taking one to the chin is necessary appeals to White and Wilder in the ways of professionals in the field.
