The location for the NWA’s next pay-per-view has been announced.

NWA will hold Hard Times on November 12 at the Frederick J. Sigur Civic Center in Chalmette, Louisiana, which is in the New Orleans area. The promotion will be partnering with WildKat Spots, which NWA regular Luke Hawx operates.

Additionally, the NWA will hold television tapings the day after Hard Times on November 13.

This will be the third Hard Times event, with the first being held in 2020 and the second in December of 2021. At last year’s event, Trevor Murdoch defeated Mike Knox to retain the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.

NWA is running two shows this weekend at the Chase’s Khorassan Ballroom. Saturday saw Kamille retain the NWA Women’s Championship against Taya Valkyrie in the main event. New champions were also crowned, with La Rebellion winning the vacant NWA World Tag Team titles and Cyon winning the National Heavyweight Championship.

The Sunday show will have Trevor Murdoch defend the NWA World Heavyweight title against Tyrus.
