Let’s check in with the National Wrestling Alliance to see what’s cooking. The answer is Ricky Morton in a Texas Death Match. The 69-year-old legend got down and dirty at NWA 78 in the main event of the latest episode of Powerrr (Sep. 19, 2026). The overarching story is Kerry Morton breaking away as a heel from his Southern Six teammates, world champion Thrillbilly Silas Mason and Alex Taylor.

One such example allowed Ricky to toss Taylor off the turnbuckles onto a pile of tacks. That was the biggest spot of the match.

There was no blood or dangerous bumps. If the legend can still get to the ring doing what he loves, more power to him. Share your thoughts about Ricky Morton’s Texas Death Match in the NWA.
