Shotzi Blackheart isn’t the only former WWE star making her debut at NWA’s Samhain III.
Former WWE Tag Team Champions Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows will be making their debut for NWA on October 17th as the duo will be in action at the infamous pay-per-view. For those of you in the dark about the show, Samhain is where Father James Mitchell and the cocaine party seemingly ruined their TV deal with the CW network. The NWA hasn’t run that spot since though they’ve kept the pay-per-view name going following that memorable moment.
Now Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows are no strangers to NWA. The duo have never competed in the company under Billy Corgan’s leadership; however, Anderson notably had a lengthy stint in NWA from 2006 to 2011.
In fact, Anderson was in a tag team with Joey Ryan as The Real American Heroes. Anderson also won the now defunct NWA British Commonwealth and NWA Heartland States Heavyweight Championship. Gallows had a shorter stint in NWA from 2011 to 2015 and he’s also a former Southern Tag Team Champion. For Anderson, this will be his first NWA match in over a decade. For Gallows, this will be his first NWA match in a decade.
Thus far, their opponents have yet to be announced though the duo has made it clear that they’re eyes are set on the NWA Tag Team titles, which are currently held by The Immortals.
In other news, Blackheart’s opponent has officially been confirmed. The former WWE star is scheduled to face NWA World Women’s Champion Natalia Markova. It hasn’t been confirmed whether it’s for the title or not.
