The World is a Vampire: NWA vs. AAA

Nuff Said was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event promoted by the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). It took place on February 11, 2023, in Tampa, Florida. The name of the event was based on current NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Tyrus, who uses it as his catchphrase, and had a show by the same name on the Fox News streaming network Fox Nation.

Fourteen matches were contested at the event, including four on the pre-show. In the main event, Tyrus defeated Matt Cardona to retain the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship. In other prominent matches, Cyon defeated Homicide to retain the NWA National Heavyweight Championship, Kamille defeated Angelina Love in a No Disqualification match to retain the NWA World Women's Championship, and The Renegade Twins (Charlette Renegade and Robyn Renegade) defeated Pretty Empowered (Ella Envy and Kenzie Paige) to win the NWA World Women's Tag Team Championship.

Background

On December 23, 2022, NWA confirmed that Nuff Said will take place on February 11, 2023, from the Egypt Shrine Center in Tampa, Florida.[1]

Storylines

The event featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.[2] The eleventh season of the NWA's weekly flagship program, Powerrr, as well as the fifth season of its secondary program, NWA USA, featured storylines leading up to the event.

At NWA Hard Times 3, Tyrus defeated Trevor Murdoch and Matt Cardona to win the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship by pinning Murdoch.[3] Previously, Cardona had defeated Murdoch to win the title himself, but a bicep tear in the summer of 2022 forced him to vacate the title. Murdoch would win it back in a four-way match at Alwayz Ready before eventually losing it in aforementioned three-way. Two months later, on the special January 31, 2023, live episode of Powerrr, Tyrus and Cardona had a contract signing for their title match at Nuff Said. Before the segment ended, however, both agreed to a six-man tag team match for next week's episode, each choosing two mystery partners. The winners of the match would then choose the stipulation for the world title match.[4] There, Tyrus teamed with Blunt Force Trauma (Carnage and Damage) to defeat Cardona, Mike Knox, and Rolando Freeman, where Tyrus decided the stipulation be a simple one-fall match with all outside interference banned from ringside. Additionally, Bully Ray will provide special guest commentary for the match.[5]

Also on the January 31 live episode of Powerrr, Thom Latimer and NWA World Women's Champion Kamille were scheduled to face Psycho Love (Fodder and Angelina Love) in an intergender tag team match. However, before their match, Psycho Love ambushed Latimer and Kamille on the entrance way, which also saw Fodder choke Latimer out with a singapore cane, causing the match to be cancelled.[4] As a result of this, Love will challenge Kamille for her title at Nuff Said in a no disqualification match, while Fodder and Latimer will face off in a singapore cane match.[6][7]

On the February 4 episode of NWA USA, after Homicide was victorious in his match, he grabbed ring announcer/interviewer Kyle Davis, dragging him to the interview podium before he preceded to give a promo that had to be censored heavily due to explicit language. He ended the promo calling out the current NWA National Champion Cyon for a match at Nuff Said. He then called out Cyon's manager and father Austin Idol, then proceeded to try to get Austin to fight him before NWA backstage officials intervened.[8] The match would be made official on February 5.[7]

Also on the February 4 NWA USA, NWA Junior Heavyweight Champion Kerry Morton was confronted after his match by Alex Taylor and his manager Danny Dealz. Kerry had led Team Rock n' Roll, of which Taylor was a part of to win the Champions Series, which won title opportunities for each winning member. Danny would announce that Taylor was cashing in his Champion Series title shot for Morton's title at Nuff Said.[6]

Following the last episode of Powerrr before the PPV on February 7, the NWA posted on Instagram a multi picture and video post which revealed several matches added to the card as part of the pre-show.[9]

Notes

  1. ^ Before the match began it was announced that Jennacide and Max asked for the match to use regular tag team match rules instead of mixed gender tag team rules. The NWA granted the request and the match went ahead with normal tag team match rules
  2. ^ The stoppage was due to a botched attack that saw Kratos accidentally get severely lacerated on the exposed turnbuckle resulting in extreme blood loss.
