Jeff Jarrett named 2022 NWA Crockett Cup ambassador

Jeff Jarrett will serve as the official ambassador for the 2022 NWA Crockett Cup tournament, the promotion announced today. 

The Crockett Cup will be held on Saturday, March 19 and Sunday, March 20 at The Fairgrounds in Nashville, Tennessee. The Fairgrounds hosted the early years of Jarrett’s NWA: TNA promotion when they ran weekly pay-per-views at their inception. 

The first team for this year’s Crockett Cup was also announced today. 

Nick Aldis and Doug Williams, billed under their British Invasion name, are the first official entrants for the Cup. 

In a video announcing the tournament’s return after a pandemic-related hiatus, the NWA featured images of Aldis and Williams, The Briscoes, Thom Latimer and Chris Adonis, as well as Bestia 666 and Mecha Wolf, although they have not been officially announced for the shows. 

The 2022 Crockett Cup will have a 16-team, single-elimination format. In the last Crockett Cup in 2019, eight teams were featured, with PCO and Brody King ultimately winning the tournament.
