NWA Powerrr 10/3/2026

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2026/09/nwa-powerrr-9262026.html

We are in Tampa, FL. Joe Galli, Danny Dealz and Tim Storm are on commentary. 

We get some clips of Carson Drake getting hurt during his NWA Title match last week.

NWA Women's Title - Tiffany Nieves (c) vs Joiya Blake

Joiya Blake also ended up being on AEW Collision later in the night.

They lock up. Tiff wristlocks her. JB rolls out and reverses it. Tiff then rolls out and trips her. JB headscissors her out of the corner and Tiff spinning side slams her for 2. Tiff hits mounted shots on her and suplexes her. 

JB's head is banged off the buckles. Tiff superkicks her. Tiff ties her up in the ropes and pulls on her. JB boots her away and hits a headbutt. JB germans her. JB slingblades her for 2. Tiff hits soul foot on her and superkicks her in the face.

Tiff hits mean stomps to the face while she's down. Tiff pedigrees her then pins her with a foot on the chest.

Thoughts: Tiff won as expected. Tiff got stiff with her here as she really stomped her face in near the end. JB has some unique twists on simple moves, though they aren't the best twists. It was a one-sided match. 

Silas Mason and Alex Taylor talk. Silas says the people deserve to know the truth and he will address what happened with Carson Drake. Alex says he faces someone from The Federation of Champions but doesn't know who. He says he knows they will have tricks up their sleeve but they have another thing coming if they think they can get through him.

The Slimeballz talk in the back. Rant says everyone says Carson Drake is a jerk but he says he's not a liar. This is in reference to Drake getting a concussion from last week's match. Rant doesn't know how you fake that. Sage says let's ask real wrestlers what they think about Drake faking an injury. Sage says their friend Carson wouldn't do that.

Heath vs Richard Adonis

They lock up. Heath side headlocks him and hammerlocks him. RA rope breaks. RA boots him in the gut and drops him with a punch. RA chops him and Heath flying forearms him. Heath pop-up atomic drops him. Heath armdrags him into an armlock. 

RA back elbows him. RA double stomps his back. RA foot chokes him. RA lariats him for 2. RA armlocks him. Heath jawbreakers him. RA facekicks him. RA underhook suplexes him. RA misses a 2nd rope moonsault. 

Heath hits punches and flying knees him. Heath leg lariats him and powerslams him. Heath hits a zigzag and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a short but solid match here. Heath had a nice babyface comeback at the end and showed some fire. Rich did the basics but looked fine here. I like this a lot more than I expected to.  

We see video from a month ago with The McCord Collection trying to attack The Hardway.

The Hardway does a promo. Jack Vaughn says The Collection made a dumb mistake when they attacked them. Jack says they face Bonez and Gilroy next week. Dalton McKenzie said they made the mistake of their life by stepping to them. He says they will find out what women with low self-esteem and good credit find out - they like to do things the hard way.

NWA Jr. Heavyweight Title - Hayden Backlund (c) vs Vin Parker vs Nick Blackwell

They do a triple lock-up. HB boots Vin and nick corner lariats HB. Vin casadora armdrags Nick then rolls him up. Vin flying headscissors Nick and headflips up. Nick backdrops Vin for 2. HB hits a hard elbow drop on VIn.

HB boots Nick then bridging twisting reverse ddt's him. HB suplexes Nick and stands on Nick's neck. HB short arm lariats him for 2. HB clubs Nick's back and running boots him. 

HB chops Nick down. Vin euros HB in the corner and chops him. Vin northern light suplexes HB and flip over into a northern lights suplex for 2. Nick pump kicks Vin. Nick catches Vin's crossbody and swinging flatliners him. HB superkicks Nick then submits him with a grounded chickenwing.

Thoughts: It was a random one and we didn't get any intros here. That was a problem since we haven't really seen Nick before. Nick took the pin as expected. It was a shorter bout but they kept it moving and it wasn't that bad. 

The Cazana's talk. They complain about The Slimeballz losing the US Tag Titles and getting a World Tag Title shot. AJ says they've got it tonight and Joe says he will leave it in their hands. 

Heath does a promo. He says Richard Adonis is good but not good enough. He says he's the #1 contender for the NWA Title. He says he doesn't know when he will fight Silas Mason but it will happen. He says the drama with Silas and Carson Drake has nothing to do with him. He says he's coming after Silas.

Kratos vs Romeo Quevedo

Romeo running forearms him and enzugiri's him in the corner. Kratos shoulders him over. Kratos slaps him. Kratos hits shot to the gut in the corner and forearms him. Kratos chest chops him. Kratos release suplexes him. Kratos slaps him. Kratos release suplexes him. 

Romeo superkicks him in the gut and corner meteora's him. Rome lariats him down for 2. Romeo misses a top rope moonsault and is flipped with lariat. Kratos hits a twisting double underhook ddt and pins him.

Thoughts: It was a shorter bout but wasn't bad. Romeo bumped big and they hit each other hard here.

The Slimeballz talk to Thom Latimer and ask if Carson Drake faked a concussion in his title match. Thom says Drake is a fraud and all he does is cheat and lie and scam. He says he's a disgrace to the company and he'd fire him if he could. Sage says Thom is the liar and Thom tells them to leave. 

The Paige Sisters and Tommy Henry talk. Kenzie says Nattie made the Kylie match all about her. She says Tommy and everyone has protected her. Ken says she's done with her. Kylie says they have a title match next week. Ken says she will let her know if she wants to be her partner next week.

NWA World Tag Titles - The Country Gentlemen (AJ and KC Cazana) (c) vs The Slimeballz (Tommy Rant and Sage Chantz)

Rant side headlocks AJ. They shoulder each other. Rant flying shoulders him over then slams him. KC shoulders Sage over. Sage rolls him into an enzugiri. KC takes a double team attack in the corner. KC takes flying back elbows. KC takes a dropkick into a spinning sitout side slam. Joe Cazana trips Sage and AJ lariats Sage.

We go to break.

We see more video of Carson Drake's injury.

Carson Drake talks to Aron Stevens in the back. Drake says people are saying he faked his concussion. Aron asks if any of those people are doctors or NWA officials? Aron asks if any of them matter and Drake says no. Aron says what matters is that Silas couldn't beat him even with a concussion. He says what matters is Drake's health. He tells him to take a second, breathe and ice the head. He says they will follow doctor's orders then Drake should follow his orders. He says they will talk to Billy and get this straightened out as Drake has been concussed. 

Note - They didn't say it outright, but Aron implied that Drake got hurt by a reckless Silas on the job and they made it seem like they will use this to their advantage (probably to get another title match).

We return from break. KC legdrops Sage. Sage gets slammed and KC is flapjacked onto him. AJ rakes Drake's face. AJ misses a legdrop. KC hits boots Sage and chokes him. Sage is sent hard into the buckles. AJ rams Sage's back into the post. 

KC pulls Sage's arms back. AJ rakes Sage's back. AJ stomp Sage. AJ goes to the 2nd rope and goes for an elbow drop but Sage pulls KC down and KC eats the elbow drop. Rant comes in and hits shots on The Cazana's.

Rant lariats AJ over the top and flying crossbodies KC. Rant flipping sentons KC. Blunt Force Trauma come out. Carnage pushed Sage off the top on a snot rocket attempt. Sage takes a running back elbow + russian legsweep and is pinned.

Thoughts: The announcers did a nice job of selling me on the Slimez possibly winning here. Rant's hot tag segment worked. BFT coming out to interfere was random, but the announcers acknowledged that it was random, so we'll have to see what the deal is. This was fine.

BFT stares Joe and AJ Cazana down outside after. Joe does the "call me" hand gesture. The Cazana's pose and the show ends.

Overall thoughts: The opener was just a squash. Heath/Adonis was a solid bout and beat my expectations. The three-way was random and not bad. Kratos squashed Romeo Quevedo, but Romeo looked okay here and I was fine with it. The main was alright with The Slimeballz almost pulling off the upset. There was a ton of focus here on Carson's Drake injury last week and instead of just moving on, they are building a story around it and that's working.  I'd give this show a 6 out of 10 overall. The matches were decent and they set up some stories that could and should play out over the next few weeks, but we did have some random things on here and lots of wrestlers who weren't involved on this show when they could have been. This was an okay show and one of the NWA's better shows.
