It doesn't look like those recent rumors that the NWA had decided to call it a day held any water after all.
Former ECW Champion Raven said he heard that the company would not be returning from hiatus following the departure of Dave Lagana during an interview, but President Billy Corgan has now assured fans that there's no truth to this in a statement made via social media post.
"A quick note about the National Wrestling Alliance, which I fought for, and won ownership of a few years back. We are NOT shutting down. So please disregard any and all rumor to effect. The @NWA is not and will not be for sale, and those talent who are under contract remain under contract for a reason: which is that we at the NWA are trying to figure out a way to provide our great fans with wrestling content in a very, very tough environment. And, most importantly, keep our talent safe and the standard of production you’ve come to expect from us at a high level. Anything less, in my opinion, is unacceptable.
So yes, appreciate the interest, appreciate the chatter, but don’t appreciate the unsourced rumors and speculation."
Like every other pro-wrestling company, The NWA fell on hard times after the COVID-19 pandemic, and there was a lot of speculation that the relatively small promotion might have to close its doors. For now, all we can do is take Corgan's word that we will see more from the likes of Nick Aldis, Kamille, James Storm and Ellie Drake as soon as possible.
