On Tuesdays at 6:05 PM EST, Powerrr will once again air exclusively on The NWA’s YouTube channel.
FITE is still broadcasting NWA pay-per-views. The weekly program had been airing on FITE before being added on YouTube a few days later. The NWA issued the following:
CHICAGO — The National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) is making bold changes this year to allow our television programming to be available to the largest international audience possible. We are proud to announce that starting immediately, NWA Powerrr will return as first run programming on the NWA YouTube Channel on Tuesdays at 6:05 p.m. EST and NWA USA will remain airing at 12:00 p.m. EST on Saturdays on the channel as well. NWA pay-per-view programming will still be available through FITE TV.
First run programming will begin Tuesday January 3, 2023 and includes matches which will determine the teams that will head to the finals of the Champions Series Tournament.
“I want to thank our viewers who used FITE’s Monthly or Annual subscription service to enjoy our product,” said William Patrick Corgan, president of the NWA. “Making the switch to having the world be able to watch NWA Powerrr at the same time is essential to our growth strategy going forward. FITE has been an important partner and we are happy to continue our relationship with FITE as our pay-per-view provider,” Cogan said.
The NWA Annual Subscription on FITE began to be phased out on August 26, 2022. Viewers who have active subscriptions can still use them to watch pay-per-view programming until their subscription expires.
The NWA Monthly Subscription is canceled effective immediately. NWA pay-per-views, such as Nuff Said, the Crockett Cup and NWA 75, will be available for individual purchase on FITE.
The drama between Nick Aldis and the NWA continues.
Aldis took to his Instagram subscribers to post a statement, where he called Billy Corgan’s promotion “the most toxic brand in pro wrestling.” The statement was posted immediately following Saturday night’s NWA Hard Times 3 pay-per-view event. He wrote,
“I hope now you see why it was important to me to let you know that I had given my notice to the NWA BEFORE this ppv. What was once a promising endeavor that I turned down bigger opportunities to take the lead on, has become the most toxic brand in pro wrestling.
Thank you all for the support.”
At Saturday night’s pay-per-view event, Tyrus defeated Matt Cardona and Trevor Murdoch in a Triple Threat Match to become the new NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion.
Aldis’ current contract with the National Wrestling Alliance is set to expire in January 2023, and he insists he’s leaving when that time comes. In the meantime, Billy Corgan has suspended him from the company.

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…”

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 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.
