Alex Misery Retains NWA Television Title on Powerrr

The National Wrestling Alliance’s latest episode of NWA Powerrr aired on Comet TV on Saturday, August 8, headlined by a defense of the NWA Television Championship. Alex Misery retained the title in a win over Daisy Kill, keeping the strap in the hands of a champion who has made the weekly program his primary showcase.

The show also saw a post-match angle develop out of the title bout, as Eric Smalls attacked Daisy Kill following the loss. Big Cuzzo stepped in to break up the assault, setting up what looks like the makings of a new feud or alliance heading into future tapings. Powerrr also featured action involving Lockjaw Drake and Buster, though full details on that segment weren’t made available.

For a promotion built on a weekly, episodic television model, angles like the Smalls-Daisy-Cuzzo confrontation are the connective tissue that keeps Powerrr’s storylines moving between pay-per-view style Crockett Cup and NWA 74-type events. The NWA has leaned heavily on its television-first booking approach since relaunching Powerrr years ago, using the Comet TV slot to build feuds slowly rather than rushing to blow-off matches, and Misery’s title reign has been part of that steady drip-feed strategy.

The NWA Television Championship itself carries a long lineage in the company’s history, historically positioned as a hard-fought, competitive title distinct from the flagship NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship. Keeping Misery on top against a game challenger like Daisy Kill suggests the promotion still sees him as a centerpiece of the midcard picture, while the post-match attack gives Daisy a sympathetic angle to build from rather than simply moving on after a loss.

Big Cuzzo’s save adds another wrinkle worth watching. Whether that turns into a tag pairing, a singles issue with Smalls, or simply a moment of goodwill that pays off later, the NWA has generally used these smaller character beats to set up bigger programs down the line rather than resolving them immediately.

With Powerrr continuing to air weekly, expect the fallout from this episode — particularly the Smalls-Daisy-Cuzzo situation — to factor into the next tapings as the NWA builds toward its next set of milestone shows. Misery, for his part, will likely keep defending the Television Championship against the promotion’s deep roster of hungry contenders as the title continues to anchor the midcard.
