NWA Powerrr 4/7/2026

NWA Powerrr 4/7/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/03/nwa-powerrr-3312026.html

Danny Dealz, Joe Galli and Tim Storm are on commentary.

We get a video on Silas Mason vs Bryan Idol to start. 

NWA World Title - No Disqualification - Silas Mason (c) vs Bryan Idol

Idol cashed in his Lucky 7 clause on his TV Title to get this shot.

SM facekicks him and hits forearms and chops. Idol slingblades him out of the corner. SM lariats him. SM is pushed into the buckles and dropkicked. Idol flying knees him in the corner. SM tour of the islands backdrops him. 

SM is up top and gets hit. Idol superplexes him. Idol sets up a table outside. SM's head is banged off of it. Idol's arm is banged off the steps. SM is tripped into the steps. Idol headbutts SM outside. SM rams Idol's back into the post. SM chokes him with a cable.

SM hits him with a chair. SM is back body dropped through a table. Idol drops him with punches. Kerry Morton and Alex Taylor come out and grab Idol. SM nails Kerry on accident then Idol knocks AT away. Idol dropkicks SM off the apron onto his partners. 

Caranage of BFT grabs Idol as he tries to get in the ring. SM hits a thrill ride on Idol and pins him.

Thoughts:
It was sadly a shorter bout that had a lot of shenanigans in it. It was average. I'm not sure why Carnage came out since he's not involved with The Six. I didn't expect Idol to win here, but this definitely isn't the end of the feud with these two.

Liviyah does a promo. She says this has meant the world to her. She says she now gets a shot at the title thanks to Natalia Markova. She says Markova is the champ the fans deserve but she won't be champ anymore when she makes the NWA live and learn.

Thom Latimer does a promo. He says he chose El Dragon Nihan as his Crockett Cup partner as he's a monster. Nihan walks in. He says they came out of a place where people go to die. He says they aren't pretty and they destroy and take gold. Thom says you will know our names and fear us.

Gut Check Challenge (#1 Contender to the NWA National Title) - Hayden Backlund vs Cristiano Argento vs Will Austin

This will be the second Will Austin match that was aired this week (ROW had him on), so he's getting around. The winner of this gets an immediate title shot after.

CA facekicks Hayden. Will springboard headscissors CA. Hayden trips Will. Hayden back elbows Will. Will headscissors + side headlock takeovers his opponents. Will hits a double os cutter. Will tope con hilos Hayden through the ropes. Will's head is banged off the step.

CA hits mounted shots on Hayden then bangs his head off all 3 buckles. CA fisherman suplexes Hayden for 2. Will top rope diving lariats CA for 2. CA drops Will chest first on the mat. Will hurricanrana's CA over after Hayden superkicks CA. Hayden chickenwings CA and submits him.

Thoughts:
It was a shorter bout and a bit clunky as these tend to be. It wasn't that good. At least Hayden got a win. 

NWA National Title - Mike Mondo (c) vs Hayden Backlund

Mike nails him with a big forearm then chops him down. Mike knees him in the gut then overhead belly to belly suplexes him. Mike bites Hayden in the eye. Mike rubs his elbow on Hayden's eye and kicks him in the gut. Mike cobra clutches him.

Mike slams him. Mike misses a top rope diving headbutt. Hayden rolls him up for 2 then cradles him for 2. Hayden backslides him for 2. Mike blocks a sunset flip. Mike hits him in the gut then forearms him from behind. Mike hits a fireman's carry gutbuster and pins him.

Thoughts:
Mike won as expected. The only question was how long it would take. I popped for Mike biting Hayden's eye. It was a bit one-sided and just average.

We are at the tattoo parlor. Thom Latimer says AJ Cazana has been getting the same tattoo for 2 weeks. Carson Drake comes in and makes fun of AJ. Joe explains that he's getting a Doc Holiday tattoo. Carson isn't impressed. Thom says they will stay up all night and watch them. Joe asks if they have somewhere battle to go and says there's a plane leaving for Paris. Joe asks why these people keep coming in and KC says it's because they like them.

Knox and Murdoch talk. Knox is supposed to find him a partner. He says he found someone who is  10 feet tall worth of dynamite, sick and twisted. It's Tyler Franks. Knox asks if he gets it and Murdoch says he does.

Kyle Davis talks to Mims and The Pope in the ring. They are asked about their match with The Slimeballz that is coming up. Pope says this isn't a smiling matter today and tells him to just hold the mic. Kyle asked about what their nickname would be and Pope just says it's "Success". Pope says this is all about arithmetic but the math ain't mathing. Pope puts over Mims. 

Mims says they break backs and jaws and asks why people think they can't break some balls. Pope says they will do what they have done time and time again and says they will go all the way. Pope says they will start with the Slimeballz. Mims says they will ride their @ss. 

The Slimeballz come out and they are over. They ask if The Pope is "Elijah Burke". They say they played him in a video game and say they want him to do the double knees. Sage says they want to take him to Slimeball City. Sage says they have nothing against them and it'll be friendly competition. He says it's nothing but friendly competition and spits in his hand for a handshake. The Pope and Mims leave.

Thoughts: The Slimez did what they were supposed to do here but Mims' and Pope's promo was awful. What I got out of it was that Mims wants to sleep with The Slimeballz.

Dr. Vik's Abode

Vik is on the phone. He's on the phone and says he will need "that favor" and says the guy knows what he means. Vik says he will have to call him back and says, "What in the hell?"

The Cazana's do a promo. He says he respects Murdoch but says Tyler Franks is a low life bum that cost them the US Tag Titles. Joe says they didn't forget. He says he did everything they could to hurt The Country Gentlemen. Joe says Murdoch is being brought to the slaughter. AJ says Murdoch can pick anyone he wants as a partner but it ain't Mike Knox.

NWA Women's Tag Titles - The Hex (Allysin Kay and Marti Belle) (c) vs Tiffany Nieves and Greta

Tiff goes to lock up with MB then tags out. Greta pushes MB down off the lock up. Tiff tags in. MB forearms her down and out of the ring. Greta and Kay get in. Kay lariats her and gets nowhere. Greta facekicks her down. Tiff boots Kay in the corner then facebusters her. Tiff stands on Kay's hair and pulls her arms.

Tiff facebusters Kay. Tiff springboard snapmare drivers Kay for 2. Greta tags in and corner splashes Kay. She corner splashes her again. Greta goes for the pin and Tiff wants in. MB gets in. She hits lariats on Tiff then hits a stroke on her. 

MB step up knees Tiff in the corner. Kay spin kicks MB. Tiff takes a double forearm and a double pumping knee for 2. MB hits Greta from behind. Ms. Star hits MB outside. Greta misses a charge outside and goes into the post. Tiff takes a double team dominator and is pinned.

Thoughts: It wasn't that good. Tiff kept tagging in and out which made it hard to get anything going. Greta's still green and limited as well so she didn't get to do a ton. This also didn't get a ton of time.

Dr. Vik's Avode

The Slimeballz are hanging out and ask where the party is. Vik is very bummed and drinking. Sage says he would be drinking too and Rant says Vik looked like a dork. Slade tells Vik to be a real man. The Slimes say they wouldn't have taken that and they wouldn't either. They ask Vik what he will do about it and ask if he will man up.

We go back to the tattoo shop. The Paige Sisters and Tommy Henry come in. Joe asks why they are here. Kenzie says Joe's a cheat, scum and a piece of trash. She says she hates him. Joe asks why? Kenzie goes to jump over the rail after him and has to be pulled off. Joe asks what's wrong with these people? Joe says this reminds him of a story where he fought Ric Flair for the title in 1988. He says they don't call him the dirtiest player in the game for nothing. 

NWA Women's Title - Natalia Markova vs Liviyah

They shake hands. Liv side headlocks her. Nat trips her and running boots her in the face. Nat hits chest kicks. Liv takes her down and half-crabs her. Liv basement dropkicks her out of the ring. Liv then topes her outside.

Liv and Nat chop each other. Nat double chops her. Nat swinging facebusters her for 2. Liv is driven into the corner. Liv holds her in the air and hits a cradle ddt for 2. Liv hits a big spear out of the corner. Nat 2nd rope gordbusters her. Nat top rope dropkicks her and pins her.

Thoughts
: Nat won as expected here after only a few minutes. Liv got to shine a bit and it's clear the promotion likes her. They didn't get enough time to make this good.

TV-MA come down and jump Markova after. Tiff chokes Markova then stands on her through. Greta chokeslams Markova. Tiff walks on Markova and poses on the ropes with her title.  

Overall thoughts: It was the usual below average NWA Powerrr show. Every match was short and because of it, none of them were that good. Silas/Idol didn't get much time and was disappointing. We got a couple of segments at the tattoo parlor and we got two more Dr. Vik segments as well with The Slimeballz oddly being his voice of reason. We also had an awful segment from Mims and The Pope. They built up some stuff for future episodes here as it seems like we are getting Nieves/Markova, likely a Carnage/Idol match and various Crockett Cup matches. I'd give it a 4 out of 10. Nothing was that good as usual and I felt slightly disappointed at the end of this.
