Your winner and new NWA Women’s Champion Kenzie Page!
A large shock to end the title run for Kamille, who has been the most important performer for the company over the last few years in my opinion. This was a solid bout but you get the impression Kamille gave so much the night before she was gutting through this one. A big moment for Page and a good, physical match.
Page embraced her family at ringside.
They aired a video tribute for all of those who the industry lost this year. A nice, classy touch.

This was rough at times but also very physical. Very interested in seeing how the next chapter goes under EC3.

He said that he watched Dusty Rhodes every night and said Gorilla Monsoon was his pretend dad. He said that he loves the sport but the sport doesn't love him - but that's true for everyone who enters the sport. He said he fought like hell and the last thing he wanted to do was let down his family. He said that sometimes, whether you like that channel he's on or not, there was only one thing he talked about when he walked into the arena, this damn ring, because there was nothing more important than the ring. He said that he loves all the fans and he doesn't care about any trolls online. He said that he has loved their games and interviews with Kyle Davis. He thanked Joe Galli and Velvet Sky. He said the NWA is going to a special place and he's glad he was part of it. He thanked Pat Patterson, Tom Prichard, his wife, his kids.
