“NJPW Sold to TV Asahi and CyberAgent; Bushiroad Retains STARDOM

May 27, 2026

The most intriguing element of this transaction is the inclusion of CyberAgent and its implications for the Japanese wrestling landscape.
CyberAgent is a massive Japanese entertainment and tech conglomerate that entered the wrestling space in September 2017 by purchasing DDT Pro-Wrestling.
In January 2020, CyberAgent acquired a struggling Pro Wrestling NOAH, subsequently merging NOAH, DDT, and Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling (TJPW) under a single subsidiary called CyberFight.
CyberFight operates the Wrestle Universe streaming service, which hosts its core brands alongside partner promotions like Marigold, Marvelous, Sendai Girls, Michinoku Pro, and others.
CyberAgent’s 46% acquisition immediately raises questions regarding the future of NJPW World. While it might seem logical to migrate NJPW’s live events and tape library to Wrestle Universe, TV Asahi operates NJPW World and owns the other 46% of the company.
How these two media giants navigate distribution, and how closely NJPW will collaborate with the CyberFight umbrella promotions like NOAH and DDT, remain major question marks.
Notably, Bushiroad is keeping the booming Joshi promotion, STARDOM, which was completely excluded from the transaction.
Bushiroad purchased STARDOM in 2019 and initially placed it under the NJPW corporate umbrella.
In hindsight, a sign of today’s corporate restructuring came in April, when STARDOM was returned to being a wholly owned subsidiary of Bushiroad.
We will have much more analysis on this breaking story as the lead topic on this Thursday’s episode of The Flagship—streaming live Thursday night for our $10 tier subscribers!”

⭐ Current Direction

The COMET era of Powerrr continues to settle into a gritty, studio‑wrestling rhythm. This week’s episode delivered a clean mix of title implications, character movement, and a heavyweight main event with real stakes.

🟧 NWA POWERRR

May 23, 2026 Results

Credit: prowrestling.fandom.com, Slam Wrestling, MOONSAULT.de,

The May 23, 2026 NWA Powerrr took place at The OC Theatre in Forney, Texas, featuring a double main event for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and the Crockett Cup finals.

Commentary & On-Screen Talent

  • Commentators: Joe Galli, Tim Storm, and The Pope
  • Interviewer: Kyle Davis
  • Ring Announcer: Kyle Davis 

Match Results

1. Kiss My Boots Match – Eric Smalls defeated Daisy Kill
Kill started strong with a boot and mounted offense, but Smalls countered with an electric chair slam, inchworm, and bulldog to win. Per the stipulation, Kill kissed Smalls’ boots, then Smalls retaliated with a shot to Kill’s crotch. Gordon: “A most resourceful victory — he capitalized on a single opening.”

2. NWA World Heavyweight Championship – No Limits, Falls Count Anywhere Match – Silas Mason (c) defeated Bryan Idol
A chaotic, high-impact match saw both men exchanging chair shots, table impacts, and near falls. Idol nearly won with a double underhook suplex, but Mason countered and hit the Thrillride. The match ended with Mason retaining his title. Ed: “Mason is holding that championship like it’s the deed to his house!”

3. Crockett Cup 2026 Final Match – The Titans of Calamity (Ren Ayabe & Talos) defeated The Country Gentlemen (AJ Cazana & KC Cazana) (w/ Joe Cazana)
The Gentlemen initially dominated, but the Titans countered with a series of strikes and interference from Joe Cazana. The finish came after a brawl outside the ring, with Ayabe hitting the decisive blow. Ed: “That’s what you call blue‑collar wrestling — no frills, just fists!”

Notable Moments

  • The Crockett Cup finals saw The Titans of Calamity claim the Cup, with AJ Cazana promising a Disneyland trip afterward.
  • Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson commented on their loss, with The Slimeballz offering unsolicited advice.
  • The World Title match was praised for its high drama and near falls, with some calling it one of the year’s top matches.

This episode closed the 2026 Crockett Cup and set up future storylines, including Mason’s potential feud with Carson Drake.

NWA Worlds Champion Silas Mason Names Mick Foley and Kurt Angle as Career-Changing Influences

“Mason was asked about his early inspirations and who influenced him when he was younger. That’s when he pointed directly to Mick Foley as one of the first wrestlers who made a lasting impression on him. Mason explained that Foley stood out to him because he didn’t look like a traditional superstar, yet still found a way to connect with fans in a powerful way.

“It was Mick Foley when I was a kid. Fat guy, sweat pants, made everybody laugh, that whole thing. The Rock, Mick Foley, that whole era, but Mick Foley was one of those guys. It was never so much the hardcore stuff. It was the sympathy and could make you laugh and make you care about him. He could go from making you laugh to making you think it was that serious, like a heart attack.”

Mason didn’t stop there when discussing the people who shaped his path. He also credited Kurt Angle with pushing him to take wrestling seriously at a competitive level, something that directly impacted his life outside the ring. While reflecting on that decision, Mason explained how Angle’s success motivated him to join amateur wrestling — a move that paid off in a major way. “I joined the wrestling team because of Kurt Angle. I have two state wrestling championships because of that guy. So it would be Mick Foley and Kurt Angle.”“

“Mascara Dorada and Xelhua appeared at the Los Angeles Dodgers Mexican Heritage Night. I can’t tell if the emojis there are referencing the earlier announcement or are meant to tease more news.

CMLL held a CMLL versus Press soccer game on Tuesday, to promote their summer of even more Arena Mexico shows marketed towards World Cup visitors. Team CMLL lost 3-1, with Raider scoring the only goal for the luchadors. This is the only victory the press has had in 2026. The press team notably included Paul Aguilar of Fox Sports. This is Aguilar’s retirement gig; the CMLL guys were facing someone who was on the 2010 and 2014 Mexican World Cup team. Aguilar had an assist and a goal. Team CMLL included Angel de Oro (goalie, as his father famously played), Niebla Roja, Audaz, Robin, Raider, Calavera Jr. I, Capitan Suicida, Neon, Vaquero Jr., Dragon de Fuego, as well as Alexis Salazar and Jorge Livan from the press department. La Tijera has about 12 minutes of footage if you want to dig it. As an American, I’m unqualified to conduct any in-depth analysis of soccer skills. Cuauhtemoc mayor Alessandra Rojo de la Vega was also on hand.

When he was working in Arena Naucalpan recently, Neon recalled that he had actually participated in a tryout for IWRG, did not pass, and was now returning as a star. Neon – then Prisamatic – wrestled Alom in the 2021 Tryout competition. He received eight of fifteen possible points from judges Eterno, Black Terry, and Heddi Karaoui (who is critical of him for wrestling too much like a Mistico clone.) Mas Lucha’s Vic Martz was in the chat when the show aired and wrote that they should’ve picked Prismatic (and also Alom), so point for him. The Tryout match aired in February 2021, and Neon debuted in July 2022, so he had to wait nearly 18 months more. He also would’ve had to wait much longer had he won the IWRG tryout and signed a contract with them.”

Ed: “Fans, both the NWA and CMLL delivered a week packed with grit, speed, and high drama. From studio brawls to lucha fireworks, the action just keeps escalating!”

“According to a report from Fightful Select, indie wrestler Hayden Backlund has signed with the NWA after spending the last several months competing for the promotion. During that run, Backlund appeared in a National Title match and also competed in this year’s Crockett Cup. He had previously been a regular on NWA Exodus events as well.

Backlund, who hails from the Buffalo area, also gained early-career experience in AEW, where he worked several matches against talent including Best Friends and Miro, among others.”

“According to a report from Fightful Select, 19-year-old independent wrestler Liviyah has signed with the National Wrestling Alliance. While additional details regarding the deal are still emerging, the signing reportedly became official within the last few months.

Despite her young age, Liviyah has already built an impressive resume on the independent scene, competing for over two and a half years and amassing close to 200 matches. She has also become a familiar face at Wrestling Open events.

Liviyah previously appeared at the NWA TV tapings in February, where she challenged for both the NWA World Women’s Championship and the NWA Women’s Television Championship.”

Presented by Ed & Gordon

🟩 DESK INTRO

Ed: “Fans, the action from the National Wrestling Alliance and CMLL this past week has been hotter than a depot stove! Powerrr kept the COMET era rolling, and Super Viernes lit up Arena MĂ©xico with the kind of electricity only lucha libre can deliver!”

Gordon: “Indeed. A most eventful week — championships threatened, rivalries sharpened, and momentum shifting across both promotions.”

đŸŸ„ NATIONAL WRESTLING ALLIANCE (NWA)

⭐ Current Direction

The Crockett Cup is looming, the World Title picture is boiling, and the COMET era continues to define the new identity of Powerrr.

🟧 NWA POWERRR — MAY 9, 2026 (FULL MATCH‑BY‑MATCH REVIEW)

đŸ“ș COMET TV — Studio‑style presentation, tight pacing, heavy storyline focus.

Location: OC Theatre in Forney, TX. Commentators: Joe Galli and Tim Storm with Da Pope.

đŸ”„ MATCH 1 — Crockett Cup Quarterfinal Match: The Good Brothers (Doc Gallows and “Machine Gun” Karl Anderson)(No. 2 seed) vs. The SlimeBallz (Sage Chantz and Tommy Rant, with Aron Stevens) (No. 10 Seed)

Anderson starts the match by chopping Rant. Good Brothers dominate with Slimeballz trying to make a comeback before Gallows hits a roundhouse on Chantz. A Magic Killer and the Good Brothers advance.

Kyle Davis joins the Good Brothers in the ring where The SlimeBallz offer a Too Slimy in congratulations, but Anderson and Gallows just walk away.

Ed: “Fans, that’s raw horsepower on display!”

The Southern Six discuss their elimination in the Crockett Cup. Alex Taylor and Kerry Morton argue until NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion, Silas Mason sets them straight.

đŸ”„ MATCH 2 — Crockett Cup Quarterfinal Match: The Titans of Calamity (Jack Talos and Ren Ayabe) (No. 16 Seed) vs. El DragĂłn Nihan and Thom Latimer (No. 9 Seed)

The Titans are coming off of an upset of the NWA World Tag Team Champions, The Immortals. Latimer is pursuing his first Crockett Cup despite a ton of success in the NWA. He and Ayabe start out shoving, Latimer with a low bridge sending Ayabe outside. Latimer off of the top turnbuckle to the outside. Talos makes the save after an impact DDT. Latimer is unable to slam the big man. The match is interrupted by David Crockett talking about the Road Warriors winning the Crockett Cup. We are back with the Titans working over Latimer. Shades of the Hart Foundation get them a 2 count. Nihan with the blind tag and he takes out the AJPW World Tag Team Champions. Talos with a choke slam and the Titans with Ride the Lightning for the 3 count.

Gordon: “A most determined effort from the former champion.”

Wreckingball Legursky is on the Carson Drake Experience where he is mistreated by the host and jumped by the Wrestling Machines.

Damien Fenrir congratulates Alex Misery on his victory but it is not heartfelt as Fenrir exhibits his oversized ego.

Natalia Markova replaces Tim Storm on commentary.

đŸ”„ MATCH 3 — The Burke Invitational Gauntlet

Seven women compete in this gauntlet where you can be eliminated by pinfall, submission or over the top rope to become the number one contender to the NWA Women’s World Championship and an anytime, anywhere opportunity at the championship. Hollyhood Haley J and Kylie Paige start out. Haley hits Paige with a boot to the face as the ref checks her wrestling shoes. Hollyhood with the upperhand when Shay Karmichael of Texas Style Wrestling joins the gauntlet. Karmichael tries to send Haley J over the top rope when Gretta is added to the match. After a break Gretta eliminates Haley J and Karmichael in quick succession. Gretta gets Kylie up but is interrupted by the entrance of Kenzie Paige. The sisters double team the monster until getting caught by a double clothesline. Morgan Mercey of NWA Texas joins the match making it the Paige sisters and two giants. Gretta eliminates Mercy over the top. Herra joins the match. Herra with shortarm clotheslines to one Kylie who is saved by Kenzie. Kenzie eliminates Herra but is betrayed by her sister and eliminated. Kylie and Gretta are left as we go to break. Back from break Tiffany Nieves is the last entrant. Kylie is double teamed and has to contend with TV-MA’s Miss Starr on the outside. Miss Starr is kicked out of ringside and kicks the ref in the lower abdominal region. Paige puts up a fight but is hit by a huge choke slam. Gretta puts Nieves on Paige who is pinned and eliminated. Gretta climbs over the top rope to eliminate herself giving Nieves the victory and an anytime, anywhere opportunity at the Burke held by Markova.

Ed: “Fans, that’s a collision waiting to happen!”

Ed: “Fans, from the PowerrrStation in Tampa to Arena MĂ©xico in the heart of CDMX, the action’s been hotter than a depot stove this past week! The National Wrestling Alliance is gearing up for the Crockett Cup, and CMLL just rolled through another packed week of classic lucha trios.”

đŸŸ„ National Wrestling Alliance

NWA Powerrr — April 28, 2026 (Roku finale before COMET)

This episode was positioned as the last Powerrr on The Roku Channel before the move to COMET and the Crockett Cup, with a clear focus on setting up contenders and giving key acts a tune‑up.

Key story beats:

  • Wrecking Ball Legursky vs. Dr. Viktor (w/ Ms. Starr) Billed as a No. 1 contender’s match for the Ten Pounds of Gold, this was framed as Dr. Viktor being “convinced” by Ms. Starr that winning would impress Women’s TV Champion Tiffany Nieves. Legursky dominated early, battering Viktor inside and outside the ring. A missed charge sent Wrecking Ball head‑first into the post; Viktor barely beat the count, giving him the countout win and the shock No. 1 contendership.Nieves appeared afterward, clearly intrigued, while Viktor sold every bit of the beating—“a sore winner” in every sense.
  • Good Brothers tune‑up & Crockett Cup hype The show was promoted around The Good Brothers getting ring time before the Crockett Cup, plus a “one‑of‑a‑kind” match in the ongoing feud between Daisy Kill and Eric Smalls, keeping that undercard rivalry hot heading into the tag tournament.
  • Ten Pounds of Gold picture The commentary hammered home that the winner of Legursky/Viktor would get a shot at World Heavyweight Champion “Thrillbilly” Silas Mason, tightening the world‑title focus going into the COMET era.

NWA Powerrr #256 Results

NWA Powerrr on COMET TV starting May 1. 

Match Results

NWA World Heavyweight Championship Match
Thrillbilly Silas Mason (c) def. Dr. Vik (w/ Miss Starr & Gretta) — Silas Mason retained the title

NWA World Heavyweight Title #1 Contendership Match
Dr. Vik (w/ Miss Starr & Gretta) def. Wrecking Ball Legursky — Countout. Dr. Vik is now the new #1 contender for the Ten Pounds of Gold.

Tag Team Match
The Good Brothers (Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows) def. The Rewind Society (Samuel C & VHS).

NWA World Women’s Tag Team Title #1 Contendership Match
Hollyhood Haley J & Sirena Veil def. Pretty Empowered (Kenzie Paige & Kylie Paige) — Sirena Veil pinned Kylie Paige, earning her a title shot at the Crockett Cup.

Shanghai Painstick Lethal Ladder Match
Daisy Kill def. Eric Smalls — Daisy Kill ascended the ladder to victory.

Ed: “Fans, only in the NWA do you get a man beaten from pillar to post and still walking out as the number one contender!”

Gordon: “A most fortuitous outcome for Dr. Viktor—and a potentially hazardous one for the reigning champion if Dr. Vik didn’t have to wrestle twice on one show.”

NWA direction, news & rumors

  • Network move: Powerrr is transitioning from The Roku Channel to COMET, with back‑to‑back new episodes advertised for May 1–2, signaling a renewed TV push.
  • Crockett Cup focus: Tag‑team positioning (Good Brothers, ongoing feuds like Daisy Kill/Eric Smalls) is clearly being tuned for the upcoming Crockett Cup.
  • World title scene: Dr. Viktor’s fluke‑but‑official No. 1 contender status gives Silas Mason a challenger who’s storyline‑battered but opportunistic—classic NWA territory framing.

Ed: “The table’s set, fans—new TV home, Crockett Cup on deck, and a very unlikely man staring at the Ten Pounds of Gold.”

  • Main event trios: Atlantis Jr., MĂĄscara Dorada & TitĂĄn def. Los Guerreros Laguneros (Gran Guerrero, Stuka Jr. & Último Guerrero) 2–1 Classic CMLL main event formula—top technicos vs. elite rudos. Atlantis Jr. and company take the deciding fall, keeping them strong at the top of the card and reinforcing the long‑running rivalry with the Guerreros.

Ed: “Fans, that’s lucha libre the way your grandfather watched it—three‑fall trios, masks everywhere, and the crowd living and dying with every near fall!”

Gordon: “A most representative card—youthful exuberance in the undercard, established names anchoring the main event.”

📰 4. News — The Big Headlines of the Week

EC3 Claims He’s Been Blackballed After NWA Exit (March 8)

  • EC3 alleges major companies are shutting him out following his departure. ⭐ Summary
  • EC3 left the NWA on January 1, 2026, announcing his departure publicly and framing it as the end of a completed chapter rather than a dispute. His exit followed a long, dominant Worlds Heavyweight Championship reign and major behind‑the‑scenes contributions, including helping launch the Exodus Pro developmental system.
  • 🏆 Why EC3 Left the NWA
  • 1. He said his run had reached its “natural end.”
  • In a TMZ Inside the Ring interview, EC3 explained that he had nothing left to add creatively and felt he had completed what he set out to do.
  • 2. He wanted evolution, not brand loyalty.
  • He emphasized that he doesn’t “chase three‑letter brands,” but “chases moments,” suggesting he was ready for a new direction.
  • 3. He announced it himself on January 1, 2026.
  • EC3 posted a long, reflective farewell message on X (Twitter), confirming his departure and thanking the NWA.
  • đŸ„‡ What He Accomplished Before Leaving
  • A historic Worlds Heavyweight Championship reign
  • Held the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title for 370+ days
  • Defended it 80+ times across four continents
  • Other major accomplishments
  • Former NWA National Champion
  • Key figure in the company’s modern presentation
  • Retired Tyrus in their final match
  • Behind‑the‑scenes contributions
  • EC3 helped launch Exodus Pro, the NWA’s first official developmental territory, and emphasized building a culture that produced new talent for the main roster.
  • đŸ—Łïž How EC3 Described His Exit
  • From his public statement:
  • “My time with the National Wrestling Alliance has come to an end.”
  • He framed his departure as respectful and appreciative, not contentious.
  • From his interview:
  • He said he couldn’t add anything more to the NWA’s culture.
  • He stressed authenticity in wrestling and said indifference — not boos — is the real enemy.
  • 🔼 What’s Next for EC3?
  • EC3 has not announced his next move, but he made it clear his in‑ring career is far from over and that he intends to continue building something meaningful — possibly outside major promotions.
  • His next move remains unclear.

🔍 5. Rumors & Industry Buzz

Former WWE Names Circling NWA

  • Multiple ex‑WWE talents spotted backstage.
  • Speculation of new signings or short‑term angles.

EC3’s Comments Stir Locker Room Talk

  • His “blackballed” claim has sparked debate about NWA’s internal politics. Here’s the full, factual breakdown of EC3’s “blackballed” situation, based entirely on verified reporting from Sportskeeda, eWrestlingNews, WrestleZone, Ringside News, and NewsBreak. No speculation — just what’s confirmed.

    ⭐ THE SHORT VERSION (What’s Actually True)
    EC3 did say he was “probably blackballed” from major wrestling promotions — but later clarified that it was sarcasm, not a literal claim. He says he isn’t blackballed at all, just misunderstood, and that wrestling media misreported his tone.

    đŸ§© WHAT EC3 ORIGINALLY SAID (THE “BLACKBALLED” COMMENT)
    During an interview on the Sportshadow YouTube channel, EC3 said:
    “I’m also probably blackballed from most of them because people can’t handle my authentic truth.”
    He was referring to why he hasn’t signed with a major promotion (WWE, AEW, TNA) since leaving NWA.
    Context of the original comment
    He said he hasn’t joined a major promotion because he refuses to compromise his personal philosophy.
    He suggested some companies “can’t handle” his honesty.
    He framed his absence as partly by choice, partly due to industry politics.
    This is the quote that wrestling media ran with.

    đŸ§© WHAT EC3 LATER CLARIFIED (THE WALK‑BACK)
    Two days later, EC3 posted a long clarification on Twitter/X saying:
    The “blackballed” line was sarcastic.
    He does not believe he’s blackballed.
    Media “can’t grasp tone or context.”
    He’s been building, not blocked — specifically:
    Developing Exodus Pro
    Working on a “creative conclusion” to The Top 1%
    Training talent
    He also mocked the idea:
    “Blackballed? Please. The only thing my balls are is sunned.”

    đŸ§© WHY THE STORY BLEW UP
    Because:
    EC3 left NWA on January 1.
    He hasn’t appeared in AEW, WWE, or TNA since.
    His original quote sounded serious without the sarcasm context.
    Media outlets ran headlines like “EC3 says he’s blackballed.”
    He then pushed back hard, saying the reporting was misleading.

    đŸ§© WHAT EC3 ACTUALLY BELIEVES NOW
    According to his clarification:
    He is NOT blackballed.
    He says:
    He’s choosing to work independently.
    He’s building Exodus Pro into a prestige indie.
    He’s crafting long‑term creative projects.
    No company has “power over him.”

    đŸ§© THE REAL TAKEAWAY
    EC3’s “blackballed” comment was:
    Said jokingly
    Reported seriously
    Clarified forcefully
    He insists he’s not banned, blocked, or frozen out — he’s simply working on his own terms.

Silas Mason’s Rising Profile

  • After impressing film directors (per earlier reporting), rumors suggest outside‑the‑ring opportunities may expand his visibility. Here’s the full story behind why people keep saying Silas Mason “impressed film directors” — and what that actually means for his future. This is all grounded in verified reporting from Ringside News.
  • ⭐ Short Version
  • Silas Mason impressed The Iron Claw director Sean Durkin so much with his performance as Terry “Bam Bam” Gordy that Durkin is now considering him for a major role in his next A24 film, Deep Cuts. This attention is a big reason Mason transformed his physique and stayed “camera‑ready” during his NWA title run.
  • 🎬 What Exactly Happened?
  • 1. Mason’s breakout acting role (2023)
  • Silas Mason played Terry “Bam Bam” Gordy in The Iron Claw, the acclaimed Von Erich biopic directed by Sean Durkin.
  • His portrayal reportedly left a strong impression on Durkin.
  • Mason’s physicality and presence stood out, even in a cast filled with major Hollywood names.
  • 2. Durkin wants him back
  • According to Ringside News:
  • Mason is in talks to reunite with Durkin for his next A24 project, Deep Cuts.
  • Filming is scheduled to begin as early as February 2026.
  • Mason’s name is being floated for a key role.
  • This is not rumor‑mill chatter — it’s directly tied to his previous performance.
  • 3. Why Mason transformed his body
  • A source told Ringside News that Mason’s dramatic physical transformation — dropping weight, adding definition — was driven by two goals:
  • Preparing for his run as NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion
  • Staying ready for his next major film opportunity
