'La Princesa' Tiffany Nieves Secures National Wrestling Alliance Contract — National Wrestling Alliance

The National Wrestling Alliance has signed Tiffany Nieves. A former Mission Pro and Ohio Valley Wrestling Women's Champion, 'La Princesa' is one of the most in-demand independent wrestlers in the U.S.. Nieves joined NWA via its Exodus Pro Wrestling territory in October 2023. The contract ensures Nie

It’s all “Get it? Got It? Bueno!” for the National Wrestling Alliance! The NWA announces “La Princesa” Tiffany Nieves — also celebrating her birthday today — has signed an exclusive contract. “‘La Princesa’ is taking the National Wrestling Alliance by storm,” declares Chief Operating Officer Joe Galli.

“Since arriving in the NWA, Tiffany Nieves has developed into one of the most captivating fixtures in our outstanding women’s division,” he says, “It’s with great excitement that we can now say ‘La Princesa’ will remain a prominent part of NWA Powerrr and our future Signature Live Events across the country.”

With only a few years experience under her belt, Nieves has become one of the most sought-after, decorated stars in independent professional wrestling today. She’s traveled the country defending the Mission Pro Wrestling championship, held gold in Ohio Valley Wrestling and debuted with NWA in late 2023 via its Exodus Pro Wrestling territory.

Nieves unsuccessfully faced Kenzie Paige for the NWA Women’s World title at the NWA Paranoia SLE in January. With partner Reka Tehaka, “La Princesa” has twice challenged The King Bees for the NWA Women’s World tag team titles. All four women have since signed exclusive agreements with the company.

The contracts keep each exclusive to NWA broadcasts for the foreseeable future. All will be prominently featured on current and upcoming episodes of NWA flagship program NWA Powerrr, streaming each Tuesday on The CW.

Nieves joins a growing list of NWA talent accepting exclusive contracts. Multiple champions and top stars have secured long-term agreements as the company moves toward NWA 76, the annual celebration of the promotion’s 1948 founding. Taking place August 31, the NWA’s anniversary spectacular emanates from Philadelphia’s iconic 2300 Arena.

-It’s been a while since I’ve talked about Billy Corgan’s NWA and thats because well… I havent seen or heard from them in what feels like forever. And that’s because despite getting this new deal with the CW, the NWA are probably at their least relevant since Billy Corgan took over and thats thanks in part to losing the likes of Nick Aldis, Thunder Rosa, LA Knight, Kamille, Ricky Starks, Eddie Kingston and more, as well as their new deal with the CW and various other reasons. We’re going to look into all the reasons why and actually take a dive into what a current day NWA Powerr episode looks like. Lets discuss the National Wrestling Alliance!

@PGen98, didn't Thom Larimer wrestle in WWE as Bram?

 

[Dead2009]

No he was originally in the Ascension before getting fired for beating up Charlotte. He was Bram in TNA.

I couldn't remember; I coulda' swore it was WWE at some point.
As for Charlotte? That only got her shot there 'cause of Daddy Flair.
