The National Wrestling Alliance has no shortage of great talent on their roster. Every NWA Powerrr and pay-per-view that the NWA holds is a “can’t miss” event. That’s in large part due to the caliber of the professional wrestlers they send out to perform in front of the NWA Nation. As such, we want to highlight some of the biggest and brightest the legacy promotion has to offer.
The following are some of the most exciting stars to keep your eye on in the NWA.
Natalia Markova

Don’t let her beauty fool you because Natalia Markova is one of the fiercest and most polished wrestlers the NWA has on their hands. A veteran of 14 years, Markova has traveled the globe and has put on class performances everywhere she has gone. In the NWA, Natalia has gone toe to toe with the likes of Taya Valkyrie, the legendary Mickie James, and one of her fiercest rivals Kamille.
Her series of matches with the ‘Brickhouse’ are matches that you should go out of your way to watch. They’re entertaining, brutal, and, truly encapsulate what Natalia Markova is all about.

If we talked about every individual member of Pretty Empowered in-depth we would be here all day (not like we mind talking about this group, but still). So, let’s have a quick rundown.
First of we have Kenzie Paige, former NWA World Women’s Television and current NWA World Women’s Champion. Truly one of the fastest-rising stars in all of professional wrestling, Kenzie is the present and future of this industry.
She has accomplished so much in so little time. Apart from winning all the singles titles the NWA Women’s Division has to offer, Kenzie has the distinction of ending Kamille’s historic 800+ days reign. It’s amazing how she keeps establishing a new ceiling for herself every time she breaks through one, and her meteoric is a surprise to absolutely nobody.
Now, the tremendous tag team of Kylie Paige and Ella Envy. These two made history back at NWA 75, becoming the youngest champions in the company’s storied history. Kylie and Ella are a supremely gifted duo that can run circles around any unit that dares stand in their way. As a matter of fact, they have, and it will not be shocking if they hold those titles for a long time.
As a whole, Pretty Empowered is a one-in-a-million phenomenon. What’s even more amazing is they have a lot more accolades coming their way for a while, considering everyone is under the age of 25. Suffice it to say, Pretty Empowered is every bit as pretty as they are dangerous and talented, and let us tell you all, that’s a whole lot of pretty.

Kerry Morton

Don’t know who Kerry Morton is? Then, you’re missing out. Appropriately dubbed as “The Future Legend,” Kerry is certainly living up to the moniker. A former NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion ranked No. 132 in the PWI 500, Morton is a generational talent in every sense of the word.
You need him to talk? He’ll do it. You want him to work an hour? That’s easy. Win championships? Like clockwork.
The Southern Six member is one of the biggest pillars in this current crop of NWA Talent. He boasts the look of a professional wrestler from decades ago giving him that classic appeal while providing the modern flare and skillset that people gravitate to. All you need to do is watch one Kerry Morton match, and you’ll know exactly what we’re talking about.

In our humble opinion, Colby Corino is possibly one of the most complete wrestlers NWA has on their books. The current NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion, Colby has all the makings of a top guy.
He can brawl with the best of them, keep up with anybody hold for hold, and ultimately outwrestle them in the end. Still not impressed? Corino has a high-flying arsenal that can catch anybody off guard at a moment’s notice.
Corino has the look of a killer whenever he steps inside the squared circle, and for good reason, because he is a killer. Colby Corino is simply a phenomenal technically-sound wrestling wizard who can pull out all the stops and beat you in a million different ways.
