NWA Powerrr Review - August 15, 2026

By Graham "GSM" Matthews

Thom Latimer def. El Dragon Nihan in a No Disqualification, No Count-Out Match

This was basically a grudge match after Nihan turned on Latimer a few weeks ago, so I appreciated the addition of the No Disqualification stipulation. They had a nice fight, but despite Nihan's manager Brandon McCord getting involved, Latimer still went over. I assume Latimer winning decisively means their rivalry is already over, but time will tell. Personally, I don't mind either way, but I'm not sure where Latimer goes from here.

Kyle Davis Interviewed NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion "Thrillbilly" Silas Mason

Mason's last "match" with Kerry Morton obviously ended in underwhelming fashion because it never really got started, so at least they're running it back next week, once again with Alex Taylor serving as the special guest referee. This was the usual quality mic work from Mason, who has excelled in his role as the face of the NWA since becoming champion last year.

Colby Corino def. Axton Ray

It's great to have Corino back in the ring after he spent so long on the shelf with a neck injury. I'm glad he was able to make a full recovery and he'll be a welcome return to the roster, even though it never felt like he left because he was still around cutting promos. This was a fairly standard showcase for him to get him going again. Hopefully he can continue to build momentum.

The Royal Court (King Trevor, Mike Knox and Tyler Franks) def. The Light and Mims

Royal Court cut a promo beforehand and generated decent heat from the crowd. I believe Knox is going by ​Sir Michael Duke of Knox now, but whatever his new name is too long for me to type/remember, so I'll just stick with Mike Knox. Nonetheless, this was a solid six-man tag team match. It's fine that The Light and Mims lost because they weren't on the same page to begin with.

Bryan Idol def. Mike Mondo to Win the NWA National Championship

Idol failed in his previous attempts at the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship, so I figured he'd fall short here as well, so I was pleasantly surprised when he actually won. He and Mondo had an average outing, but the title change made it newsworthy. Mondo and Spencer Slade (collectively known as The Wrestling Machines, of course) laid out Idol afterward to end the night.

Overall Show

Powerrr has largely been good since debuting on Comet TV back in May, but I found this to be one of the better editions we've gotten as of late. The NWA National Championship changing hands was the highlight of the episode, but Corino's in-ring return, the No Disqualification opener and Mason's promo were also highlights. Plenty was packed into this show.
