Taryn Terrell Announces Retirement From Pro Wrestling

Taryn Terrell is retiring from the world of professional wrestling.

On Wednesday, Terrell took to her Instagram account to announce that she is retiring from the business after returning last year for the NWA. She wrote,

“In my career, I often have not been able to be the first to “break my own news”. At every company, it makes it to the public before I was truly ready to say anything. Anyhow, I have decided that it is time to officially hang up my boots…forever. It’s so bittersweet. NWA gave me a wonderful opportunity to manage. The problem is, I can’t be beside that ring and find happiness. I love the ring. Being inside those ropes and connecting with the humans in the crowd fuels me. There’s no place like it. Therefore, I asked for more. They gave me more and gave me really fun matches share I had complete, creative freedom. I was able to tell stories the way I saw them. I am grateful to Billy for allowing me a place to create and relive the moments inside that ring.

I knew I was ready to be done but I also knew I wanted to feel the rush of having a match again! Billy gave me that. But the truth is, it’s fine to say goodbye. I love entertaining and fully intend to continue that in the way of stunts

Thank you to Billy for the fun, last year and half. I wish you and NWA the very best. Thank you to Pat Kenny, the one and only Simon Diamond, who constantly reminded me to believe in myself.

To all the girls I’ve grown close to and the rubber duck clan, I freaking love y’all and I will be cheering you on as y’all continue to kick ass!”

The National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) took to Twitter to wish her the best. They wrote,

“@IAmTarynTerrell — We’ve all loved watching you shine both inside the NWA ring and alongside it. You will be missed!! Wishing you nothing but the best on the path ahead…”

Nick Aldis Suspended By The NWA, Pulled From Hard Times 3 PPV

On Sunday, former NWA World Champion Nick Aldis announced that he was giving notice to the National Wrestling Alliance ahead of his contract expiring.

The promotion has announced today that he is suspended. NWA COO Joe Calli confirmed that Aldis is under contract through December 31. 

Aldis was scheduled to wrestle Odinson at the Hard Times 3 pay-per-view this weekend. A replacement will be named for Aldis in the coming days. The promotion issued the following statement to PWInsider:

“NWA response to recent statements made by Nick Aldis

Pursuant to the recent comments made by Nick Aldis, the National Wrestling Alliance, has suspended Aldis from the main roster and effective immediately Aldis will not appear for the Hard Times 3 PPV and Revolution Rumble television tapings in New Orleans, LA on Nov. 12, 2022 and Nov. 13, 2022.

As such, the National Wrestling Alliance reserves its right to comment on this matter at a future date.

ABOUT THE NATIONAL WRESTLING ALLIANCE

Founded in 1948, the National Wrestling Alliance is one of the oldest and most prestigious professional wrestling brands in the world. In 2017, international recording artist William Patrick Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) purchased the NWA with the intention of reinventing the brand for the modern era whilst honoring the legacy of its heyday in the 1980s. Beginning with the critically-acclaimed Ten Pounds Of Gold docu-series, the NWA has since expanded its programming to include two weekly broadcasts (NWA Powerrr & NWA USA) and 6 annual pay-per-views, all of which are available via NWA All Access, our paid subscription service on Triller’s FITE streaming platform. Replays of NWA Powerrr and premieres of NWA USA are also available on the NWA YouTube channel.”

Nick Aldis & NWA Parting Ways (Reportedly)

Nick Aldis and the NWA are reportedly parting ways.

Since 2017, Aldis has pretty much served as the face of the promotion in both his on-screen and backstage roles.

During a subscriber-only Instagram video, the former Impact Wrestling star revealed that he’s given his notice to the National Wrestling Alliance. For what it’s worth, Aldis is scheduled to compete at NWA Hard Times 3.

Aldis made it very clear in his video that he’s not happy with the NWA, Billy Corgan, and the current direction of the company.

Back in July, Aldis was pulled from his NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship match at NWA 74.

Aldis’ current contract with the NWA runs through January of 2023.

Matt Cardona Reveals He Has A Torn Bicep

The current NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Matt Cardona has revealed he is going to be out of action for the near future due to suffering an injury.

The former WWE Superstar is currently enjoying a strong run right now on the independent scene where he has thrived in a variety of top promotions. Cardona is currently working with Impact Wrestling, while he is also making a big name for himself in other places such as Game Changer Wrestling and the NWA.

Unfortunately during his recent match against Blake Christian at GCW Downward Spiral on May 28, Cardona suffered an arm injury which led to him heading back to Orlando to get the situation looked at. It has now been confirmed that it is a serious issue, as he has torn his bicep.

Despite his brilliant performances as of late and his domination across a variety of different promotions, Cardona is now going to have to take some time on the shelf because his injury does require him to undergo surgery, which will then need to be rehabbed moving forward.

Cardona wrote: “Got a MRI today. Bicep is torn. Surgery needed. Will unfortunately need to cancel some dates.”

It is currently unclear the exact moment when Cardona will be medically cleared to return, and it is unknown what will be happening to his current NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship run. He was originally scheduled to defend the title at NWA Alwayz Ready against Nick Aldis on June 11, but that match is now unlikely to be taking place.

On top of that, Cardona currently holds the AIW Absolute and AIW Intense Championships, which are keeping him a busy man, but for now, his focus is going to be on returning to full health.

NWA Alwayz Ready PPV To Be Held In Matt Cardona’s Honor

NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion Matt Cardona has announced that the next NWA pay-per-view will be held on Saturday, June 11 from the Knoxville Convention Center in Knoxville, TN.

The “Alwayz Ready” pay-per-view is being named after Cardona, and held in his honor.

“I am honored to be @nwa Worlds Heavyweight Champion. I am proud to announce that the next NWA PPV will be called Alwayz Ready! Get your tickets at NWATIX.com or watch on @fitetv!,” Cardona wrote in a tweet, revealing two promotional posters seen below.

NWA owner Billy Corgan noted in a press release that Alwayz Ready will feature Cardona’s entrance music as the show’s sole theme song, and all promotional materials will include Cardona’s brand and likeness, including a modified NWA logo, which now reads MCWA for Matt Cardona Wrestling Alliance.

“As World’s Heavyweight Champion, Matt Cardona insisted that if he was to be compelled to go to a storied NWA territory like Knoxville, Tennessee and defend the championship, he would only appear if the June 11th PPV was in his honor,” Cardona said. “This event, named after his singular catchphrase ‘Alwayz Ready’, will feature his entrance music as the show’s sole theme, and all promotional materials therein will include his brand and likeness; including no less than a modified NWA logo which now reads MCWA (Matt Cardona Wrestling Alliance.) Now all that’s left is for the champion to be ready to live up to his requests.”

Cardona also provided comments in the press release when asked for his thoughts on being honored.

“Did Ric Flair ever have an event named after him? No. Did Harley Race? Never. As the only REAL World’s Champion I am honored to have this event named after me because I earned this all by myself. Everyone should know they have to be a part of this once in a lifetime event to share in me elevating the NWA to new greatness,” Cardona said.

Corgan also spoke to Ryan Wilusz of KnoxNews.com about the Alwayz Ready pay-per-view, and said the company will be bringing their A-game.

“This is not a house show,” Corgan said. “We’re bringing our A-game. These are all world-class mashups you’re going to get.”

The NWA will also hold a Powerrr taping the next day at the same venue. Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 11am ET via NWAtix.com. VIP ringside seats for the pay-per-view are riced at $75, the first several rows are $35, and general admission seats are $20. The FITE TV stream will run for $24.99, but it’s also included in the $49.99 NWA All-Access annual pass.

Cardona has been the NWA World’s Heavyweight Champion since defeating Trevor Murdoch at NWA PowerrrTrip on February 12 in Oak Grove, KY, which aired as the March 8 edition of NWA Powerrr. He also currently holds the Impact Wrestling Digital Media Champion, the AIW Absolute Title, the AIW Intense Title, the All-Star Wrestling Heavyweight Title, and the NYWC Heavyweight Title.
