NWA Powerrr 8/22/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/08/nwa-powerrr-8152026.html

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

I won't be covering the opener of Shaw vs Liviyah. Liviyah lost. 

We see Ricky and Kerry Morton arrive.

Carson Drake talks to Aron Stevens in the back. CD complains about having to wrestle PB Smooth and doesn't know how he got a #1 contender's shot. Aron tries to calm him. The Rascalz walk by and try to get The Hardway to give them the US Tag titles back. Drake asks why they let them in the group.

Kratos vs Effy

Effy side headlocks him and is pushed into the ropes. Kratos then shoves him into the ropes off the lock up. Kratos misses a corner charge then takes hip attacks and a splash. Effy helluva kicks him then leg chokes him on the ropes. Effy does a tarantula variation. Kratos pounces Effy. 

Kratos poses and chops Effy in the corner. Kratos slaps him and double chops him in the corner. Kratos throws him on a suplex twice. Kratos hits running corner lariats then a regular lariat. Kratos splashes Effy for 2. 

Effy superkicks him. Effy boots him out of the corner and hip attacks him. Effy blockbusters him then totally misses a pump kick in the corner for 2. Effy hurricanrana's him and Kratos powerbombs him for 2.  

Effy cradles him for 2. Kratos back enzugiri's him. Kratos double underhook deadfall him and pins him.

Thoughts: It went longer than it needed to as Kratos was always going to win here. Effy has some unusual offense where he kind of poses on people in the corner. They had some of the logic right but it was average.

The Royal Court talk. Knox puts over Franks for taking a beating.  Trevor says Jacob can take one too. Trevor says they are loving The Kingdom and they are really coming together. Jacob says wrestling must have a true king. I think Trevor says, "medieval witches for everybody" and they leave.

Carson Drake is with Aron Stevens and they are interviewed. Kyle Davis says he thought Aron was suspended and Aron says it was appealed. Aron says nothing was of any fault of theirs. He says Bryan Idol did this to himself and his own mother. He says Idol is a horrible son and champ. He then says he hopes Kyle Davis takes a shower by then.

Drake is asked about how he will take on PB Smooth. He says he's bigger than PB. He says Kyle and the fans can't understand his technique. He tells them to watch and learn and he can maybe teach them a few things.

Bryan Idol does a video. He says Mike Mondo put his hands on his mother. He says Mike cut a hole in his heart. He says this isn't about wrestling but settling scores. He says there's nothing he will defend more than his mother. He says no one will save him. He says looks kill and so does he. 

NWA World Title #1 Contender's Match - Pretty Boy Smooth vs Carson Drake

PB lunges at him and misses. CD chops him then runs. CD puts his throat over the top rope and PB pulls it down. PB chops him in the corner. PB corner splashes him then throws him on a slam attempt. PB clubs CD's chest. PB suplexes CD in from the apron. PB slams CD then legdrops him for 2. 

CD single arm ddt's him. CD hits shots to his shoulder. PB chops him down. PB back body drops him, shoulders him over and lariat him. PB corner splashes him. PB STO's him. Aron gets on the apron and C-Lo pulls him down. They shove each other. Aron goes into the ring to escape him. Aron hits PB with his loaded glove from behind, CD rolls up PB and pins him.

Thoughts: They had the right idea here with PB destroying CD and CD needing to cheat to win. It was acceptable. I had a feeling CD was winning this, just I wasn't sure how.

The Cazana's are still overseas. Joe complains about a car he has found on the street. We then see clips of The Cazana's wrestling at a Pro Wrestling Holland show and picking up the win.

NWA World Title - Special Ref: Alex Taylor - Silas Mason (c) vs Kerry Morton

Ricky Morton is with Kerry.

SM misses a corner charge and goes for a punch. Alex stops him. Kerry hits knees to the gut and hits some punches. Alex stops him. SM hiptosses Kerry and slams him. SM is pulled down throat first into the ropes. Kerry chokes SM with the ring skirt. 

Kerry rakes SM's back. SM chops him outside. SM clubs on him. Kerry hits SM while he's distracted. Kerry top rope splashes SM for 2. We go to break and return. 

SM hits shots on Kerry. Ricky Morton trips SM. Kerry ddt's SM for 1. Kerry boots SM in the corner and slaps him. SM misses a corner move and gets his leg stuck over the top rope. Kerry knee drops him in the leg. 

SM is knocked off the buckles and Kerry diving euros him from the top. SM drops Kerry with punches then he back body drops him. SM goes for a thrill ride but Kerry runs into Alex. Alex is down. Kerry hits a pumping knee and takes a thrill ride. They try a double pin but both get their shoulders up. 

SM makes angry faces at Kerry. Kerry boots and punches him in the corner. SM hits shots in the corner and corner splahes him twice.  Kerry is caught coming off the 2nd rope and SM powerslams him. Ricky Morton pulls Alex out on the count for the pin. Those two argue outside.

Kerry kicks the middle rope into SM's crotch. Kerry grabs Alex. SM goes for a powerbomb and Kerry eye rakes him to escape. Kerry tries to hold onto Ricky's arm to pin SM. Alex kicks the arm away. SM thrill ride's Kerry and pins him.

Thoughts: Either guy could have won here which was nice. It got enough time to play out but I don't know if they dipped into the former friend vs former friend concept as much as they could have. What we got was acceptable but nothing too great here. I don't think this ends Kerry's title dreams as either him or Carson Drake seem like the most plausible guys who could be champ next.

Kerry throws chairs and paper after then throws a table.

Overall thoughts: It was a quicker moving episode. What I saw wasn't bad but just nothing you'd really go out of your way to see and being must see TV is not something NWA Powerrr usually is. The main was easily the best match of the night. Effy/Kratos was average and Smooth/Drake was acceptable. I thought this was average overall and it could have maybe used a few promos or talking segments. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 overall.
