The wrestling scene is abuzz as Billy Corgan, President of the National Wrestling Alliance, dispels rumors by confirming two television deals with a top-tier network. This move is set to catapult NWA into a new realm of viewership and influence.

Previously, the wrestling grapevine was rife with talk that the CW network would be the NWA’s new television home. Deals were rumored to be in place for the promotion’s flagship show, NWA Powerrr, and an additional reality series. However, a controversial segment at NWA Samhain cast doubt on these negotiations, further complicated by the CW’s impending five-year contract with WWE NXT.

In a candid discussion on Drew Garabo Live, Corgan emphasized the indispensable nature of television for wrestling promotions in the digital age. While NWA has enjoyed a presence on YouTube, Corgan pointed out the limitations of digital platforms in building a loyal viewership base. He assured fans that despite the lack of an official announcement, the television deals are very much a reality.

The wrestling community is now keenly awaiting further details on these deals, which promise to expand NWA’s reach and solidify its standing in the competitive wrestling landscape.
