On June 11, 2022, The National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) will continue to honor the history of its storied 73-year existence by returning to its Tennessee roots, this time at the Knoxville Convention Center. Upon taking control of the organization, NWA President William Patrick Corgan made a commitment to honoring the legacy of the famed organization and the ALWAYZ READY PPV event along with upcoming episodes of NWA Powerrr following the PPV will continue to bring that legacy to the modern era.
“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. 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," Corgan said. When asked for his thoughts on the honor being bestowed upon him, Cardona declared “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.”
ALWAYZ READY will be aired live worldwide exclusively on FITE for US$24.99 individually, and is included in the US$49.99 NWA All Access annual pass available at https://www.fite.tv/join/nwa-powerrr/. The Knoxville Convention Center will also host forthcoming episodes of NWA Powerrr to be taped on the day following the PPV with matches to be broadcast on subsequent weeks on FITE TV. More information on ALWAYZ READY, including marquee matches and confirmed talent appearing, will be announced over the coming weeks via social media and the flagship NWA Powerrr program airing Tuesdays at 6:05 pm ET (Wednesdays, 6:05 am PHT/SGT) on FITE and Fridays at 6:05 pm ET (Saturdays, 6:05 am PHT/SGT) on NWA's official YouTube channel.
