NWA Women’s Tag Team titles change hands twice on Power

The NWA Women’s Tag Team titles changed hands twice on Tuesday’s Power with Missa Kate & Madi Wrenkowski ending the night as champions.

Fresh off winning the titles at this month’s NWA Nuff Said, The Renegade Twins (Charlette & Robyn) first defended the the gold against Pretty Empowered’s Ella Envy & Roxy. The Renegades had defeated Envy & Kenzie Paige at the PPV, so this was a rematch of sorts.

After Roxy held Robyn’s tights to get the pin and the titles, Kate and Wrenkowski (who goes by Madi in the NWA) then came out and cashed in their title shot by virtue of their team’s recent Champions Series victory.

The challengers picked up a quick win after Kate hit the Kick Filet and Madi landed the Reality Check on Roxy to get the pin and their first taste of NWA gold.

The two become the fifth set of champions since the titles were revived by the NWA in 2021.

NWA signs two wrestlers to contracts, gives another pay raise

The NWA has signed two wrestlers to contracts while giving another a pay raise.

On his podcast, Robert Anthony (Cyon in NWA) detailed a conversation he had with NWA director of talent relations Pat Kenney about how he was getting a raise while also revealing that they were offering Missa Kate and Joe Alonzo their own contracts.

Anthony, who had Alonzo and Kate on as guests, said he was allowed to be in the room when both wrestlers got their offers.

Alonzo talked about the different aspects of the deal that sold him which included the ability to be a true independent contractor and work for various indies without needing to get any permission from the NWA, albeit it with some common sense parameters. 

Similar to other independent contractors, no taxes are taken out of his check when he gets paid, leaving him responsible for figuring out taxes on his own.

Another aspect of the talent contracts that were revealed is that they get re-evaluated every six months which includes their pay. Anthony compared to that his previous WWE contract where he got paid the same rate no matter how high he went in the company. He preferred the NWA method that allows you to renegotiate based on your standing.
