NWA Reign
April 30th, 2022 [Saturday] @ Grady Cole Center in Charlotte, NC
2,560 Spectators
1. Wahoo McDaniel Memorial Block Match: PAC vs. Xavier Woods
>Winner: PAC (11:27) following the British Airways
~ PAC scores a must win to stay alive in the block.
2. Hermanos Oscuros vs. reDragon
>Winner: Fish (14:28) following a diving headbutt on Fenix
~ A return match from last week after the interference of the Briscoe Brothers.
3. Wahoo McDaniel Memorial Block Match: Karl Anderson vs. Johnny Gargano
>Winner: Anderson (13:07) following the Bernard Driver
~ Anderson continues his surprising turn around and moves into a tie for second place in the block.
4. Kazuchika Okada, AJ Styles, Bandido & Roderick Strong vs. Zack Sabre Jr., Prince Devitt, Adam Cole & Bobby Roode
>Winner: Cole (19:37) following the Last Shot on Okada
~ Arguably match of the night due to the amount of action but the big news was Okada suffering his first direct defeat, which definitely surprised the crowd.
5. Wahoo McDaniel Memorial Block Match: Kota Ibushi vs. Adam Page
>Winner: Page (15:48) following the Cracker Barrel
6. Charlotte Flair, Britt Baker & Mia Yim vs. Asuka, Hikaru Shida & Io Shirai
>Winner: Asuka (16:14) following a spin kick on Flair
~ In the melee at the end of the match, Asuka caught Flair with a spin kick to the back of the head and pinned the NWA North Carolina Ladies Champion. Asuka grabbed a microphone from the ring announcer and immediately demanded a rematch for the aforementioned Championship. Flair asked for the microphone at ringside, which Asuka tossed to her, and accepted the challenge and told Asuka to consider it “her return match”.
7. Wahoo McDaniel Memorial Block Match: Jay White vs. Rush
>Winner: Draw (30:00) Time limit expired
~ Easily match of the night though the crowd never really seemed to get behind either competitor. White misses out on an opportunity to secure a spot in the semifinals but remains at the top of the block. Rush securing a point here eliminates Ibushi and PAC.
8. NWA North Carolina Tag Team Championships Match: Top Guys vs. Briscoe Brothers
>Winner: Double Disqualification (16:22) Count-out
~ 4th successful defense
~ This was less of a match and much more of a brawl as the decision should allude to. Wheeler and Jay were the two officially counted out but all four men were brawling at ringside when the bell actually rang. The battle spilled into the crowd before the four men were separated. Lots of challenges and threats were tossed back and forth before the teams were escorted from ringside.
