NWA Elite #25LIVE June 15, 2018 @ East Park Recreation Center (Houma, LA)
NWA World Heavyweight Title: Ryback NWA World Tag Team Titles: America's Most Wanted (James Storm & Chris Harris) NWA National Heavyweight Title: Samuel Shaw NWA World Women's: Aja Kong NWA Junior Heavyweight Title: Pete Dunne
We are in the first Elite show after Capital Combat! Therefore, we recall the snapshots from that night with photographs. Now NWA will also give PPV images as photos. For more, the Capital Combat 2018 DVD is available for purchase.
Our announcers are Mike Tenay and "NWA Hall of Famer" Terry Funk. JBL wasn't on the show tonight and there's no reason. The show airs live from Houma.
Von Erich 3G team is in the ring with Bob Backlund. Backlund gives a very short summary of why he was with these guys. When Von Erich talks about the tragic stories of his family, there are sad moments in the arena. Marshall and Ross entrusted to Backlund. But now he is old and to entrust them to someone else; rather focused on a goal such as arranging a new companion. “Here he is,” he says, pointing to the entrance. After a while, there is a young girl who comes jumping around. Marshall and Ross are quite surprised. However, the audience, of course, does not know this person. Backlund clears up the confusion: it's their cousin, Cathi Von Erich! She's in the NWA now with the Von Erichs. Let's see if they can see good days together?
Andrew Everett def. Jevis Cottonbelly in 4:04 There is also a new talent that debuted in NWA. This is Andrew Everett! Jevis manages the match with his own unique style with fun attitudes. Of course he gets beat up from start to finish. A squash match for Everett. He wins the match by Shooting Star Press from the upper ropes (by botching a little).
War Machine (Raymond Rowe & Hanson) def. Trent Seven & Barrett Brown in 7:16 We haven't been able to watch the former Tag Team champions War Machine team on weekly shows for a while. In that respect, it's a very happy moment. Seven and Brown, on the other hand, had been very one-night stands in the past, but lost to the neck. This time, they seem to have come quite prepared. They are constantly talking about their tactics in the entrance and until the match starts and they are very focused on the match. Brown starts the game and really manages to lead a while. "Are they really going to win?" Then, after the third minute, with Rowe's tag, War Machine takes the instrument and holds the upper hand until the end. He goes crazy on the apron as if he's going to get a Seven tag and change everything for a while. When Tag is taken, nothing changes and he is beaten by a car. Rowe ultimately pins him and War Machine wins. After the match, they push each other while the losing side discusses what they did wrong.
We remember Ryback's heel turn in Capital Combat and the match on the Major League show. The audience had an incredible hatred for him at the last AWA. In the Elite show, which was broadcast live today, the authorities did not write a segment to Ryback because they were afraid of this situation. But he's probably in the building. Still, this is hiding to prevent a fuss. Feeling betrayed, Nick Aldis appears on the big screen. He's not in the building, he's at the police station. The ritual of filing a police complaint, which is NWA fashion, does not change. Aldis also conveys the reason for the complaint to the cameras: "I did not neglect to support Ryback while I was unjustly imprisoned for months. At dinners full of maggots and sleepless nights, I always dreamed of my freedom and that I would reach the belt again. But last week, I was ashamed to call him my friend Ryback. The bastard erased all this and threw it away. I was in prison for nothing, I was conspired... It was all in vain!"
Tonight: Alberto el Patron vs. Samuel Shaw... The belt won't be on the line.
James Storm (w/Chris Harris, Maria Kanellis) def. Rich Swann in 8:54 After Capital Combat, Swann is on the screen for the first time. He has a love affair with Catrina and is in a bad mood. Tag Team champions AMW, on the other hand, is in good spirits. For these reasons, Storm is obviously superior. Swann sometimes remembers what happened and gets ambitious and takes the upper hand. In this way, Storm with Last Call wins the match, which lasts about 10 minutes with giggles. As soon as the match is over, we go to commercials.
Curt Hawkins is spotted on his way to the AMW locker room after the commercials. AMW is cursing Hawkins, who is starting to go solo now that Enzotone was fired. Hawkins instantly dives in and makes face-to-face with each of them. “The days of idle talk are over for me now, if you have something to say, come on stage,” Hawkins challenges. Harris instantly agrees.
Chris Harris (w/James Storm, Maria Kanellis) def. Curt Hawkins via DQ in 5:30 At the beginning of the match, there is officially a 3-on-1 situation psychologically. For this reason, Hawkins starts the game behind. Despite Hawkins being the villain, the AMW team is fighting more like a heel team. While the match does not seem to last long, The Ascension team raids the match to help Hawkins. The referee disqualifies Hawkins. Although Hawkins loses, he is grateful to Ascension.
Aja Kong, ODB and Mercedes Martinez, the victorious gang of bad women formed in Capital Combat, hang out happily at the backstage. Kong remains dignified. NWA general manager Jim Cornette also comes there to congratulate her, after all. However, it is Jazz who spoils this situation. She comes and confronts everyone one by one. After saying "Everyone in this room is plotting against me right now. But don't worry, I will fight all of you alone, there is no one behind me", and then he draws a nice "shame" on ODB. After everyone leaves, just as she is going to go to Cornette, Jazz grabs him by the arm and stops him and says that he will regret his involvement and that he has a videotape in her hand. Cornette says he doesn't understand what she's saying, playing dumb. Jazz, on the other hand, says she sent a copy to his room, and if he doesn't arrange title match for the next week, she will reveal this video to the internet. Cornette just stays frozen.
Things are happening again after the commercial break... Tracy Williams was attacked backstage by a nasty attack. It cannot be determined who did it in the first place. Samuel Shaw, who will be playing soon, also witnesses the events on his way to the ring and checks Williams' situation. After a short investigation, it turns out that Matt Tremont is responsible.
Non-Title Alberto el Patron (w/Melina) def. Samuel Shaw in 12:39 This is the most popular game of the night. It takes quite a long time and makes the audience sit and sometimes lift them. Alberto is the winner of the match, where the superiority constantly fluctuates.
At the close of the program, we learn that the criminal complaint against Aldis was not accepted. Also, he will be in Elite next week.
The program had a rating of 3.04 on cable TV. The show was followed by 808 people from the arena.

AWA Major League #3TV Tapings June 20, 2018 @ Rentall Hall (St. Amant, LA)
NWA World Heavyweight Title: Ryback NWA World Tag Team Titles: America's Most Wanted (James Storm & Chris Harris) NWA National Heavyweight Title: Samuel Shaw NWA World Women's: Aja Kong NWA Junior Heavyweight Title: Pete Dunne
- The program begins with the announcement. On the NWA official site, a brand new era has been entered in match commentary and it will begin with this show. Our announcers are Todd Grisham, Eric Gargiulo and Bob Backlund. In tonight's main game, Ross, one of the pride of the Von Erichs, will rival Samuel Shaw for the National title.
- Matt Tremont def. Pete Dunne (w/Catrina) via DQ | During the match, Tremont constantly harasses Catrina. Even when he is dominant in the match, he throws kisses or something, he tries to touch something by going out of the ring. Dunne gets pretty crazy and finally disqualifies herself by hitting Tremont in the mouth with the brass knuckle hidden in her bathing suit. It was something Tremont wanted.
- We're see The Ascension at the backstage. They explain their attack on America's Most Wanted team last week. They couldn't handle acting like the "face of the company" (especially Storm) anymore. The only power equal to theirs was themselves. Neither War Machine, nor Moneypsychos, nor Von Erich... That's why they came to NWA.
- Viktor (w/Konnor) def. Tyrus | It goes like a squash match for Viktor. He wins the match without difficulty. Tyrus' JOBBER CAREER continues...
- The Great American Bash ad appears. Matches are expected to be announced soon. The show is held on July 22 at Mt. in Carmel, Tennessee.
- Andrew Everett def. Jevis Cottonbelly | The two met on the last Elite show; They meet again today. Everett is displaying a somewhat lame demeanor. Jevis missed his game because he showed up at last week's Major League show after the show ended. It must have come quite early today. He fell asleep while waiting in the dressing room sleepy because he came all the way in the morning. The news of this comes to the announce table. Everett is waiting for his opponent for a while, but no one comes. Jevis misses his match because he fell asleep this time.
- Before the main game of the night, the Von Erich 3G team comes to the screens at the backstage. Marshall, Cathi, and Backlund, who has left the news desk, offer support and advice to Ross. Backlund especially makes suggestions such as "work on the abdominal area" and so on. After a while, National champion Samuel Shaw comes there and wishes him luck.
- NWA National Heavyweight Championship | Samuel Shaw (c) def. Ross Von Erich (w/Von Erich 3G) | A seriously important day for the young Von Erichs. For the first time from the team, Ross gets a chance in a single belt competition. It is obvious that he worked in quite a few matches in the beginning and he puts up an even fight. Backlund's support is great. But Shaw manages to keep the belt by taking the lead step by step, making his opponent give up with Kata Gatame.
- After the show is closed, a segment appears on the screen. As Tremont leaves the building and walks to his car in the parking lot, he is beaten by masked individuals. The screen goes black as the duo take off their full masks. We'll probably find out next week.
The program had a rating of 0.41 on cable TV. The show was followed by 840 people from the arena.

NWA Elite #26TV Tapings
June 22, 2018 @ Metro Auction Company (Locust Grove, GA)
NWA World Heavyweight Title: Ryback NWA World Tag Team Titles: America's Most Wanted (James Storm & Chris Harris) NWA National Heavyweight Title: Samuel Shaw NWA World Women's: Aja Kong NWA Junior Heavyweight Title: Pete Dunne
- Elite is in Georgia this week! Our announcers are Mike Tenay and John Bradshaw Layfield. JBL answers Tenay's question about his absence last week, grinning like an idiot. After a while, he says he spent the last week entirely with Lilian Garcia. Just when he was about to tell about his date, Tenay cuts him off and returns to the show. We remember what happened last Elite. Tracy was attacked backstage by Tremont. In this week's Major League show, Tremont was attacked by unknown persons, this time. Also, on the orders of Cornette, she will get a chance to win the Jazz women's belt at Elite tonight.
- Nick Aldis def. Theo Geindore (w/Mister Saint Laurent, Ted DiBiase Jr) via DQ | The promo that Aldis cut beforehand during the match is displayed in the small square at the bottom left. He says that he has openly and distinctly challenged Ryback, that now the enmity between the two is certain and war is inevitable. He invites himself to Elite next week. If he didn't come, he would go home and grab it by the ear and bring it himself. In the match, while Geindore is leading at the end, for some reason, DiBiase intervenes and beats Aldis. But he does so in good faith to help. The referee decides to disqualify and gives the match to Aldis. Geindore goes crazy and slaps DiBiase on her way backstage. It's hard to understand how such an inconsistent team still works together.
- NWA Tag Team champions America's Most Wanted respond to The Ascension for the first time. If they had a problem, they would wait for them in this ring next week. Not this week because Storm has an another match tonight.
- James Storm (w/Chris Harris, Maria Kanellis) def. Andrew Everett | Everett, one of the new names of NWA, is playing his third game with the company. He had won both of his games since arriving, but both were against Jevis. Despite putting out a pretty good match, Storm suddenly finds the button by flashing a Last Call.
- The trio of Alberto el Patron, Melina and Matt Tremont come to the screen as they talk backstage. However, we cannot hear what they are talking about since the cameraman is filming it remotely. When Tremont notices the cameraman later, he goes up to him and starts pushing. "Did Samuel send you?" he starts shouting. He knew who the attackers were in the Major League that passed him. There was a security camera in the parking lot and the tape was about to arrive.
- Madison Eagles def. Zoe Lucas | An important game for young Lucas; because she wants to show herself. Normally we could see the Jazz supporting her in this match, but the Jazz are going to be face for the title tonight so she is totally focused on that match.
- We're in Jim Cornette's room. Aja Kong, Mercedes and ODB are arguing with him about giving the Jazz a title chance to the encircled Jazz. Although Cornette tries to explain, Kong gets extremely angry and tries to strangle Cornette by pulling his tie. Mercedes and ODB are hard to take the buggy away from you.
- NWA World Women's Championship | Jazz def. Aja Kong (c) | According to the speakers; Cornette forbade anyone to be present at the ringside, and anyone involved in the match would be fired from the company. Although Kong was dominant for a while in the beginning, Jazz turned the needle to their side over time. Cornette is among the announcers at this time. Bitch Clamp ties Jazz to his opponent at the end. Kong takes a while without giving up. Just then, Cornette gets up and rings the bell! Jazz wins! It is announced that Kong has given up after a while! Kong goes insane and attacks Cornette. Mercedes and ODB also come running from the backstage and attack Jazz together. EVERYONE IS BEING BEATED! But the Jazz is the women's champion for the second time, the verdict remains the same. ***TITLE CHANGE***
- After the commercial break, we head backstage. Kong is enraged and searches for Frank Reed.
- Alberto el Patron & Curt Hawkins def. Samuel Shaw & Tracy Williams | Shaw and Tracy, the inseparable duo of the last weeks, are going to an important match together. Alberto leads the match with a long dominance over Tracy. However, Tracy returns to the game when Hawkins gets tag. Lately, when Shaw is in the game, Tremont comes to the entrance and distracts him. Alberto, who gets the tag, also manages to pin his opponent with a low blow. After the match, the trio of Alberto, Hawkins and Tremont celebrate the win.
- At the close of the show, it is announced that an important announcement will come from CEO Frank Reed at the upcoming Elite show.
The program had a rating of 2.72 on cable TV. The show was followed by 820 people from the arena.

AWA Major League #4TV Tapings June 27, 2018 @ Oak Street (Rolla, MO)
NWA World Heavyweight Title: Ryback NWA World Tag Team Titles: America's Most Wanted (James Storm & Chris Harris) NWA National Heavyweight Title: Samuel Shaw NWA World Women's: Jazz NWA Junior Heavyweight Title: Pete Dunne
- Tracy Williams (w/Samuel Shaw) def. Curt Hawkins | Show starts directly with this match. Last Elite, Hawkins and Alberto duo defeated this duo in a tag teams match. Now in a singles match, Tracy tries his luck. During the match, the announcers speak a statement that Matt Tremont gave to a website the other day. Two days later, he was going to reveal who beat him at the Elite show for sure. In the head-to-head match, Tracy knows how to win and celebrates with Shaw.
- We remember the mutual actions of America's Most Wanted and The Ascension teams in the past weeks. They were expected to meet on the Elite show this week.
- Von Erich 3G (Marshall Von Erich & Ross Von Erich) (w/Cathi Von Erich, Bob Backlund) def. Pete Dunne & Andrew Everett (w/Catrina) | During the match, when Catrina and Cathi catfight outside the ring, Dunne is distracted and he lets the match go. Left alone, Everett easily loses the match. After the match, there are scuffles on the losing side.
- Melina (w/Alberto el Patron) def. Zoe Lucas | With this match, Melina returns to the ring after a very long time. Although she botch badly at the beginning, the young name Zoe's fresh blood shows its effect and they put together a good match.
- This week, it is announced that NWA champion Ryback will be on Elite. They will face Nick Aldis for the first time after Capital Combat.
- The Ascension (Konnor & Viktor) def. The Moneypsychos (Ted DiBiase Jr & Theo Geindore) (w/Mister Saint Laurent) | DiBiase and Geindore have been at odds since the last Elite show. They even come up with a lot of friction. Geindore looks pretty pissed off. MSL is trying to keep them together. This conflict is also reflected in the game. Although Geindore was constantly waiting for the tag, he left the match when he could not get it; DiBiase also hits Viktor when he's alone. Ascension is also making a show of strength for AMW.
- In closing, Aja Kong, Mercedes and ODB decide to seize that tape that Cornette feared.
The program had a rating of 0.59 on cable TV. The show was followed by 898 people from the arena.

NWA Elite #27TV Tapings
June 29, 2018 @ Oak Street (Rolla, MO)
NWA World Heavyweight Title: Ryback NWA World Tag Team Titles: America's Most Wanted (James Storm & Chris Harris) NWA National Heavyweight Title: Samuel Shaw NWA World Women's: Jazz NWA Junior Heavyweight Title: Pete Dunne- Aja Kong and her team seize the footage found in the secret safe in Cornette's room in a nicely midnight operation. The show opens with these images.
- FRP chairman Frank Reed is making his announcement as stated at the keynote last week. Having a WWW show after AWA's incorporation could have put the company in financial trouble. And Stu Bennett, whom we know as Joe Galli and Wade Barrett from his WWE years, is now in NWA. These two were going to present WWW shows to be held next year.
- Matt Tremont def. Andrew Everett | Tremont speaks before the game. Those who attacked him in the parking lot in the past weeks will find what he deserves tonight. Those people made a big mistake by coming to the building unaware of anything.
- America's Most Wanted is in the ring and waiting for the members of The Ascension, as they said last week. However, they're not coming. AMW cuts out a promo and rants about Ascension, saying that such cowards are such cowards. While AMW is making its way backstage, he is suddenly attacked by Konnor and Viktor, who emerge from the audience. There is an urgent ad break.
- NWA World Tag Team Championship #1 Contendar No DQ Match | Von Erich 3G (Marshall Von Erich & Ross Von Erich) def. War Machine (Raymond Rowe & Hanson) | The winning team will get a chance to win the teams' belt next week. The match is very exciting as there is no disqualification. Marshall slams Hanson's head into the chair, tying the claw, making him give up, and surprisingly they become contendar.
- Fedor Drago def. Theo Geindore (w/Ted DiBiase Jr, Mister Saint Laurent) via DQ | Geindore and DiBiase have been going through turbulent times in the last few weeks. Although DiBiase did not want to be at the ringside in the match, MSL stressed the necessity of this to fix their gap and forced him there. Meanwhile, a new name named Fedor Drago is debuting. The announcers are talking about him being the younger brother of Ivan Drago from the movie Rocky. Fedor initially used his extremely superior physique against his opponent. After a while, Geindore connects him to a psychopath and his fist doesn't work, and the two names don't work as they hit each other. In the end, while Geindore is getting the full game, DiBiase goes to the ropes again, hits the referee from behind and knocks him down. Geindore, meanwhile, has Chainsaw Shot and is unaware of hitting the button. But there is no referee to count. When Geindore becomes aware of the situation, he starts arguing with DiBiase. MSL enters the ring and gets between them to avoid a fight. Meanwhile, the referee who regains consciousness gives the match to Fedor with disqualification. So Fedor wins in his debut match. Going mad after the match, Geindore beats MSL and DiBiase until the ass is out of the water. Then he pulls his chainsaw from under the ring! Just when he was about to chop them, DiBiase and MSL duo managed to get away, albeit hard. I think Moneymaniacs is over.
- Tyrus def. Barrett Brown | A standard filler match. It doesn't take long, and the only interesting thing is that Tyrus won a game in the NWA, I think, for a second time or so.
- Kong's evil gang is in the ring after the commercial break. ODB does the talking for Kong. They want a match for the Jazz at The Great American Bash to immediately redress the injustice done to them last week. Actually, they could have wanted the belt straight, but Kong wanted to beat Jazz. Then they talk about having a tape in their hands. If Cornette didn't arrange this match, they were going to send it to Frank Reed.
- Reports are coming in that Samuel Shaw and Tracy Williams have been detained for last week's attack. Tremont sued the two and got a report of assault. He also signed with Alberto's lawyer as a lawyer. This person's name is Sidney Bakabella.
- Alberto el Patron (w/Melina) def. Rich Swann | Before the game, Alberto takes the microphone and gives speeches as if mocking Swann. He says he doesn't understand why he's playing this game. Because he has now refused to appear in standard matches, except for the belt match. However, he would still play tonight; because he says that the audience who came to the arena knew that they came for him. (BOOOOO) Swann gets pissed off when he talks about Swann's lost games to Dunne in the past few months and the title he didn't win; Thus the match begins. Swann leads the match for longer than expected with this sudden attack. Thinking that the situation will not change, Melina also gets on the apron and sticks to Swann's lips! Swann, who was shocked for a moment, got a low blow from Alberto without being noticed by the referee! Then pinfall.
- Bobby Boil wants to interview Cornette backstage. But Cornette denies it, moving forward with quick and anxious steps. He enters his room and then locks it.
- Now villainous NWA champions Ryback and Aldis face off for the first time since Capital Combat. Aldis begins by asking a very simple "why" question. Ryback talks at length about what happened. He tells that in all the companies he went to, his right was somehow defeated and that he had to constantly share his successes. But he was given a chance in the NWA. He states that he is grateful to Mr. Reed for giving this chance. “When I was NWA champion while you were away, for the first time in my career, I had the feeling of being the face of a company. I could sacrifice a friend for this belt, and I did. Know this, if you want to take something from me, you have to chew on my corpse to do it like everyone else!” says Ryback. Aldis said, “Stop playing the victim. Do you still call us friendship? Do you consider yourself a good person? Thousands of people in the arena that night saw what he did to me. Do you think your life will go back to normal after this? You know what? I don't believe you see me as your friend. I know you set me up and put me in jail with Alberto's property, and I'll prove it! So I'm supposed to chew on your corpse? All right then," he replied and attacked! Aldis beats Ryback hard and the crowd goes crazy. When Ryback starts to respond, this turns into a series of mutual fistfights. Quite a few officers come running and separate the two. Cornette is among the attendees. "This is not the case! Cut it out now! IMMEDIATELY! Next week, you two want mayhem? You will get what you want! You will fight for the NWA championship in a lumberjack match!” The show ends with these footage.
The program had a rating of 2.81 on cable TV. The show was followed by 854 people from the arena.

AWA Major League #5TV Tapings July 4, 2018 @ Radisson Hotel (Santa Maria, CA)
NWA World Heavyweight Title: Ryback NWA World Tag Team Titles: America's Most Wanted (James Storm & Chris Harris) NWA National Heavyweight Title: Samuel Shaw NWA World Women's: Jazz NWA Junior Heavyweight Title: Pete Dunne
- Colt Cabana vs. Curt Hawkins ended draw via time limit | This week's episode of Major League opens with this amazing match. Colt Cabana in NWA! Of all the debuts in the last few weeks, Cabana's is undoubtedly the most exciting. Cabana presents a very outstanding and delicious match to the audience at the beginning. However, the match takes longer than expected and the two names cannot be beaten. The referee finally ends the match in a draw as the time limit has expired.
- Ryback speaks to Bobby Boil. He states that he will shatter Aldis this Friday. Because most of the lumberjacks to be found outside the ring are now getting scabies. It's like they're going to beat it up pretty good. He also strenuously denies the allegations of collaborating with Alberto.
- Aja Kong's Villain Army (ODB & Mercedes Martinez) (w/Aja Kong) def. Jazz & Zoe Lucas | Zoe seems to have learned something from Jazz, who is her mentor and teammate, and she puts on a pretty harmonious and successful match at first. Working together, ODB and Martinez excel over their rivals. When Zoe gets the tag at the end, the audience gets excited but can't find the expected pin. Because all of a sudden, ODB's lover Jevis Cottonbelly comes out from under the ring! While Kong distracts the referee, Jevis blasts confetti right in Zoe's eye and quickly flees. Apparently, he planned this unawares to benefit ODB because they are also surprised by the situation. Zoe is also desperate in this state. Kong smiles and stops her staff who want to attack after the match. She probably believes that she will soon see herself as champion again.
- After the commercial break, Cottonbelly comes into the locker room and glares at ODB. It's like waiting for a thank you kiss. ODB soon realizes this. “Oh, so you're waiting for a kiss, close your eyes,” she says, and after Cottonbelly does what she's told, she gets SLAPPED in the face. Thanks to AWA for showing us this brilliant scene.
- Chris Harris (w/James Storm, Maria Kanellis) def. Matt Tremont (w/Alberto el Patron, Melina) | The trio of Alberto, Tremont and Melina have been hanging out together for a while. Alberto supports him on this path, as he believes in acknowledging Tremont's dominance at AWA shows. Harris knows how to win the match with the Catatonic. Even though Tremont loses, he doesn't look like he's going to give up. Alberto and Melina also comfort him.
- Kong speaks in closing; “JIIIIIIIIIIIM, TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK.... TIME IS SHOWN...” Will the match she's been waiting for be set?
The program had a rating of 0.64 on cable TV. The show was followed by 610 people from the arena.

NWA Elite #28TV Tapings
July 6, 2018 @ Radisson Hotel (Santa Maria, CA)
NWA World Heavyweight Title: Ryback NWA World Tag Team Titles: America's Most Wanted (James Storm & Chris Harris) NWA National Heavyweight Title: Samuel Shaw NWA World Women's: Jazz NWA Junior Heavyweight Title: Pete Dunne
- Our announcers are Mike Tenay, John Bradshaw Layfield and debutant Stu Bennett. He will be one of the announcers of the WWW program, which will have its second season next year. Bennett has adopted his gimmick, "bad news", which we also know from WWE. He talks back and forth about WWW and says it's a terrible show, a burden for this company. Because Reed had already explained this himself. Anyway, two titles are on the line tonight; Ryback and Nick Aldis face off in a lumberjack match for the NWA championship. Also in the NWA Tag Team Titles divison, America's Most Wanted's opponent is Von Erich's, the young blood of the company.
- The first match for The Great American Bash has been announced by Cornette; Jazz vs. Aja Kong - Women's title. The show is at Armed Forces Center on July 22...
- Aja Kong (ODB, Mercedes Martinez) def. Madison Eagles | Madison takes the match extremely superior with her technique. Kong takes the lead with a two-handed chokeslam somewhere in the middle. At the end, Zoe Lucas attacks Mercedes outside the ring. Seeing this, ODB wants to come to help, but a woman in civilian clothes jumps and attacks him! This person is Jazz.. Kong knows how to win a game in the ring. After the match, she gets into a fight too. Before long, the good side Aja Kong drives the evil team out of the ring.
- Theo Geindore def. Fedor Drago | Geindore comes into the ring alone because Moneypsychos disbanded last Elite. If you remember, Geindore lost last week by disqualification because of DiBiase. This time it is not like that at all and Geindore manages to defeat Fedor in his second match. After the match, he seems to be hooked on the psycho again, but then he gives up and walks away with his chainsaw.
- Bobby Boil interviews Jazz. She was not angry that Cornette arranged a match for him; Because she hasn't escaped from any match so far. She was already sure that she could beat Kong once again. “I wouldn't want to be in Cornette's place” she adds.
- NWA World Tag Team Championship | Von Erich 3G (Marshall Von Erich & Ross Von Erich) (w/Cathi Von Erich) def. America's Most Wanted (James Storm & Chris Harris) (c) (w/Maria Kanellis) via count-out | While the match is watching normally, Ascension members come and start harassing Maria outside the ring. Meanwhile, Harris, who is in the game, gets angry when he sees the situation and quits the match and engages them. Storm tries to explain that they shouldn't quit the game at first, but then she too breaks the belt and helps Harris out. Meanwhile, as they could not return to the ring within the expected time, they lost the match by count out. The titles does not change hands.
- Matt Tremont def. Jevis Cottonbelly | Jevis had done what he had done in the last Major League... He intervened in the game and helped ODB out of love. He will dedicate this win to ODB again tonight. As far as we understand from smashed English, of course. In the match, Tremont couldn't fight at first due to a fit of laughter, which is why Jevis even takes the lead! But Tremont soon gets the job done with his sitout powerbomb. Tremont picks up the microphone after the game and tries to speak while he's in a fit of laughter. He does not accept that the previous match has happened and wants a serious opponent. He had the condition to play a second game tonight.
- Matt Tremont def. Colt Cabana | Colt Cabana answers the call! As soon as Cabana enters the ring, he puts on an extremely superior and tiring match. Tremont, who squeezed his opponent in the corner at the end and exhausted the bulls on the ropes, finishes the job with a sudden sitout powerbomb.
- A second match for The Great American Bash is announced! National title holder Samuel Shaw will defend his title against Matt Tremont, Rich Swann and Theo Geindore in a four-way match. However, Shaw and Tracy were arrested last week. It is not clear whether he will come to the match. If he doesn't, the match will turn into triple threat. Sidney Bakabella seems to have a hand in this.
- Raymond Rowe (w/Hanson) def. Trent Seven | Although it is a boring time filler match, both names wrestle well.
- NWA World Heavyweight Championship | Lumberjack Match | Ryback (c) vs. Nick Aldis ended by no contest | Naturally, good names beat Ryback and bad names beat Aldis. The match is going at a normal pace and the audience's support for Aldis is very high. Ryback is now the most hated man in the company. This attitude of the audience makes him incredibly scabby and taunts the lumberjacks outside the ring. For a long time, a few names rushed over him, but when bad names came and started to intervene, a battle royal-like turmoil ensued in the ring. Even if the bell is rung one after the other, no one cares, the match is inconclusive anyway. The program ends while everyone is diving into each other.
The program had a rating of 3.05 on cable TV. The show was followed by 615 people from the arena.

AWA Major League #6TV Tapings July 11, 2018 @ Radisson Hotel (Santa Maria, CA)
NWA World Heavyweight Title: Ryback NWA World Tag Team Titles: America's Most Wanted (James Storm & Chris Harris) NWA National Heavyweight Title: Samuel Shaw NWA World Women's: Jazz NWA Junior Heavyweight Title: Pete Dunne
- This show opens with a summary of the Lumberjack match from the last Elite show. The replay of this inconclusive match will be held in a ladder match in The Great American Bash. Let's see if Aldis can get the belt he's been longing for this time.
- Sidney Bakabella comes to the screen in Cornette's room, who has been looking extremely thoughtful and distressed in recent weeks. He mentions the attack on one of his clients, Tremont, and the subsequent punishment of Shaw, and says that one should not wait until the The Great American Bash. He wants a match scheduled for the National belt tonight. Of course, since Shaw won't be able to come to the match naturally, the title will automatically go to Tremont; With this in mind, Bakabella is proposing the match. Cornette is already very upset because of the other issues in her head and she arranges the match and kicks Bakabella out of the room to leave her alone.
- Non-Title | Pete Dunne (w/Catrina) def. James Storm (w/Chris Harris, Maria Kanellis) via count out | While Storm is dominant in the match, Ascension members come to the entrance and distract Storm, just like in previous shows. While Harris looks ready and ready to protect the ring, Catrina and Maria from the other names outside the ring are fighting each other! As Harris tries to attack them, Konnor and Viktor get involved in the fight. When he gets distracted from what happened in Storm, he quits the match and loses the match with count out.
- Colt Cabana def. Andrew Everett | There is a match where both names are constantly botching. They can't wrestle in harmony with each other and the match takes a little longer than expected; it gets boring as well.
- After the advertisements, Tag Team titles match for The Great American Bash is announced; America's Most Wanted will defend their titles against The Ascension. It was an expected match.
- NWA National Heavyweight Championship | Samuel Shaw (c) vs. Matt Tremont (w/Sidney Bakabella) ended by no contest | Shaw isn't coming for a while. Tremont is sure he won't come, of course. After a while, he wants to go to the announce table and get the belt, but a hoodie in civilian clothes comes out and attacks him! We get that this person is Shaw! Released! The match ends with no results before it starts. The fight between the two goes on for a long time. Let's see if the National belt can be retained in the match of four.
The program had a rating of 0.65 on cable TV. The show was followed by 601 people from the arena.

NWA Elite #29TV Tapings
July 13, 2018 @ David Crockett High School (Jonesborough, TN)
NWA World Heavyweight Title: Ryback NWA World Tag Team Titles: America's Most Wanted (James Storm & Chris Harris) NWA National Heavyweight Title: Samuel Shaw NWA World Women's: Jazz NWA Junior Heavyweight Title: Pete Dunne
- Ted DiBiase Jr, Mister Saint Laurent, and Delta, whose contracts have expired and left the company, have been added to Alumni list. Tonight, Women's champion Jazz will face Mercedes Martinez in the match where the belt is not on the line.
- Our announcers are Mike Tenay and John Bradshaw Layfield. Elite is at Jonesborough this week! There is only one week left for The Great American Bash. While the announcers are making the opening speech, suddenly the cameras go backstage; there has been a conflict. Nick Aldis and the other good wrestlers of the company team up to beat Ryback! Aldis then steals the NWA belt and leaves!
- Rich Swann def. Viktor (w/Konnor) | It's going to be a great opening match. Swann, who will get a chance to win the National belt in GAB, gives the audience a good show. Although Viktor put on a successful match, Swann knows how to win with Pheonix Splash from the top ropes.
- Curt Hawkins def. Tyrus | Hawkins hadn't wrestled for a long time. It seems to have been used to fill time in this match as well.
- Before the commercial break, we see Matt Tremont entering the building with law enforcement. He's pretty worried about being attacked again.
- NWA National champion Samuel Shaw gives an interview in the ring. He tells how he was released. After Tracy learned that Shaw's belt was going to be taken from her in antin kuntine business, she took all the blame and had him released. So Tracy is still in custody. “If Tremont wants a match for my title, he can come and say it to my face, no need for roundabouts and no attempt to get anybody in the way,” he says. Tremont comes to the entrance with law enforcement and challenges him for the next week. Shaw agrees, but demands Tracy's release if he wins the match. Tremont admits this, too.
- Non Title | Mercedes Martinez def. Jazz | As soon as the match starts, ODB, Mercedes and Kong enter the ring and beat Jazz to death. The referee naturally gives immediate disqualification. ODB picked up the microphone and said, “Oh no no! Jim, get over here right now and fix this mistake. There's no disqualification, is there?" says. After a while, Cornette sends news to the announce table and states that the match is No DQ and that the match continues. The team in the ring continues to lynch Jazz and all three of them pin Jazz. Even though the announcers shout "someone stop this", it is Zoe Lucas who comes. When Zoe says she saved aha in the beginning, she is also exposed to lynching. After a while, Maria Kanellis and America's Most Wanted team come and save Jazz.
- Andrew Everett & Pete Dunne (w/Catrina) def. War Machine (Raymond Rowe & Hanson) | With Everett in the game, they look like they're going to lose the game. But after Dunne got the tag, even though it was difficult, he knocked down both of his opponents and made a Bitter End to Hanson, finding the key and winning the match for his team. Dunne doesn't congratulate Everett at all, he just celebrates with Catrina.
- Ryback, who had been beaten at the beginning of the night, comes to the screens while walking around in a very angry way. He tries to reclaim his belt by counterattacking. But he doesn't seem to be able to. Jim Cornette, who comes to the scene with the officers, calms the situation and asks Aldis to return the belt. Otherwise, he would have to impose sanctions. Aldis said, “What do you do? Would you throw me in jail? Anyway, it doesn't matter anyway, I'll take it back next Sunday," he says reluctantly.
- Alberto el Patron (w/Melina) def. Chris Harris (w/James Storm, Maria Kanellis) | Alberto is again talking about the past weeks; now he refuses to play in a match other than the belt match. But tonight he was going to release it again because people came to watch him. He pretends to listen to chants with his ears, but people boo him. Harris, unable to bear this ridiculous talk, attacks and takes the upper hand. After a good match, Alberto knows how to make his opponent surrender with armbar.
- We are coming to the end of the program as the GAB match card is announced. Also next week Tremont vs. There's also a Shaw match, and if Shaw wins, Tracy's on the loose.
The program had a rating of 3.06 on cable TV. The show was followed by 614 people from the arena.

AWA Major League #7TV Tapings July 18, 2018 @ Old High School Gym (Sneedville, TN)
NWA World Heavyweight Title: Ryback NWA World Tag Team Titles: America's Most Wanted (James Storm & Chris Harris) NWA National Heavyweight Title: Samuel Shaw NWA World Women's: Jazz NWA Junior Heavyweight Title: Pete Dunne
- We're in the last Major League before GAB! In the opening, there is a giant cake in the ring. The Von Erichs celebrate Bob Backlund's retirement in the ring. He appears at the company for the last time tonight. Many former NWA/AWA wrestlers are also in the ring this day alongside Backlund. However, this celebration turns into an unpleasant situation with The Ascension's split. Konnor and Viktor cut a promo for GAB, saying they're the future of the company, while the likes of Storm and Harris should now retire like the old geeks in this ring. AMW soon arrives from behind the scenes to attack. With the help of other wrestlers, they banish Ascension and the celebration continues.
- Previously announced for Elite, Shaw vs. Tremont match has been moved to today. If Shaw wins, Tracy will go free.
- Non-Title | Ryback def. Hanson (w/Raymond Rowe) | A match where Ryback showed himself. He looks extremely fit before GAB. By winning the match, he sends a message to Aldis.
- Jevis Cottonbelly cuts a promo in the ring. But it is not clear what he cut the promo about, he has not even won a match. All of a sudden, NWA Hall of Famer RIC FLAIR IS COMING AND INTERRUPTING! Flair says he's enjoying retirement and, after talking about the way the NWA has come, he's tired of seeing Jevis all the time on weekly shows, and he obviously can't wrestle. Again, Jevis challenges Flair by saying he can show if he can wrestle with his broken English! Flair responds with a laugh, says he will wait for him in GAB or something and leaves. Oh Jevis vs. It's going to be a Flair match!
- Non-Title | Colt Cabana def. Pete Dunne (w/Catrina) | As the duo are very technical, they put on a great match. Even though Dunne strangles his opponent with the rope he hid in his shorts, without letting the referee know, Cabana knows how to come back and win the match.
- Before the next match, Shaw speaks: he's pretty sure he'll win tonight and get Tracy free. He worked until the morning for this match in the hall. Tracy is probably her best friend at the company now.
- NWA National Heavyweight Championship | Samuel Shaw (c) def. Matt Tremont (w/Sydney Bakabella) | While Bakabella was on the apron and distracted the referee throughout the match, Tremont was beating his opponent by breaking the rules. Finally, while doing the same thing again, Tremont, while trying to hit his opponent with a walking stick, hits the turnbuckle and hits him in the face. On top of that, the referee, who realizes that he is lingering, bans Bakabella from the ring side when his situation gets sober. Thus, Shaw establishes the advantage against Tremont, who is alone, and wins the match by giving up with Kata Gatame. Shaw is pretty happy that his friend is dating.
- In closing, we recall the GAB match card. The event is this Sunday!
The program had a rating of 0.63 on cable TV. The show was followed by 618 people from the arena.
