The 75-year milestone of the NWA is a testament to its enduring impact on professional wrestling. The organization has been a catalyst for the growth and development of the industry, providing a platform for wrestlers to showcase their skills and entertain fans across the globe.

The NWA’s legacy includes iconic figures such as Ric Flair, Lou Thesz, Mildred Burke, Dusty Rhodes, and Harley Race, who elevated the sport to new heights and captivated audiences with their in-ring prowess. The NWA's ability to adapt to changing times and remain relevant is proof of its resilience and commitment to the art of professional wrestling. The NWA serves as a standard-bearer for excellence in the wrestling world. The NWA's 75-year anniversary is a celebration of its enduring contributions and its role in shaping the sport of professional wrestling into what it is today.

The main event for Night One will feature the reigning NWA World Women's Champion, Kamille, defending her title against the formidable Natalia Markova. Kamille has held on to the championship for more than two years and has made dozens of title defenses in the United States and internationally. As the two clash inside the ring, anticipation mounts as to who will emerge victorious and claim women's wrestling supremacy.

Night Two's main event will witness an epic battle between Tyrus, the NWA World's Heavyweight Champion, and EC3, who earned this extraordinary opportunity by vacating the NWA National Heavyweight Championship.
