NWA Samhain[a] 2 is an upcoming professional wrestling event produced by the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). It will take place on October 26, 2024, at Robarts Arena in Sarasota, Florida, airing on tape delay across several episodes of NWA Powerrr on The CW app.
Production
[edit]Background
[edit]NWA Samhain was originally a pay-per-view event produced by the NWA that took place on October 28, 2023. The event was notable for a segment where Father James Mitchell, the event's host, along with several people, ingested cocaine and other illicit substances. This segment allegedly soured the NWA's broadcasting deal with The CW to air NWA Powerrr and other programming on television, but NWA President William Patrick Corgan rebutted that was not the case.[1][2][3][4]
On June 7, 2024, the NWA announced that Samhain 2 would take place on October 26, 2024, at Robarts Arena in Sarasota, Florida.[5][6]
Storylines
[edit]The event will feature a number professional wrestling matches with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines. Wrestlers are portrayed as either heels (those that portray the "bad guys"), faces (the "good guy" characters), or tweeners (characters that are neither clearly a heel or a face) as they follow a series of tension-building events, which culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches as determined by the promotion. Storylines were played out on the twentieth season of the NWA's weekly series, Powerrr.[7]
