Matt Cardona Open Challenge
Cardona said he is the rightful NWA Champion but tonight is the open challenge. He ripped on St. Louis. He said that when he came to the NWA, he didn't come here to pass the torch. The crowd was giving him a lot of grief. He said everyone waiting to fight him is looking to leech off hs buzz and he doesn't blame them because he's the hottest thing going today. He called for the rookie waiting to fight him to come out but out came Ricky Morton.
Morton was a nice surprise, at least to me.
Cardona complained, saying he said young talents. He said he was a fan of Ricky 30 years ago. He said he didn’t want to embarrass him in front of the audience and his son, who lost earlier. He told Morton to lay down so Cardona can beat him too.
The bell rang. Morton laid down. Cardona covered him and Morton nearly pinned him with a crucifix pinfall. Cardona wasn’t happy. They locked up and Matt complained Ricky pulled his hair. Morton mocked him but was muscled back to the corner. Morton acted like Cardona poked him in the eye so Kevin Keenan admonished Cardona.
Cardona offered a handshake but Morton didn’t buy it. Morton nailed a dropkick and Cardona rolled to the outside. Cardona stalled and acted like he was leaving, walking up the aisle. Morton followed him and nailed a punch to the face. He beat Cardona back to the ring but Morton had his knee drilled. Cardona followed up with a clothesline and then choked away on Morton.
Cardona worked him over for some time, beating him into the buckles. Morton came back with a powerbomb, catching Cardona when he went for Radio Silence off the ropes. Morton sent him into the corner and rolled him up for a two count. Cardona shoved the referee, kicked Morton low and hit Radio Silence for the pin.
Your winner, Matt Cardona!
The story was fine and this was as good a Ricky Morton bout was going to be.
Cardona grabbed a chair but the Southern Six hit the ring and Cardona backed off.
Kerry flipped off the crowd when they cheered this, so it wasn't a babyface turn.

Your winners and new NWA Tag Team Champions. Blunt Force Trauma!
OK bout.
Vampiro was trying to get Aron Stevens but was held back by the NWA officials, so it appears thats a future singles bout.
The Brothers of Funstruction with Violent J came out, giving the impression they want a Tag Team bout against La Rebellion down the line.
They did a weigh-in for the NWA title bout tomorrow with Tyrus and EC3, who came out wearing a mask. This felt way too late in the show to do this. They stared each other down, weighed in and then EC3 stormed off. Tyrus said he was dedicating tomorrow's win to Windham Rotunda.

They battled on the apron outside the ring. Kamille nailed her low and speared her through the ropes through the table off the apron. This spot looked insanely evil as they crashed down in the most frightening way possible. Kamille pinned Markova.
Your winner and still NWA Women's Champion Kamille!
This was just brutal and evil as they truly took the fight to each other.
Pretty Empowered came put on the stage to remind Kamille she will battle Kenzie Paige tomorrow.
Overall, a really good show. This was probably one of the better NWA shows in some time and absolutely the most consistent from an inside the ring standpoint.
