Scurll to appear at NWA Hard Times PPV, three title matches added

Marty Scurll will be playing a part in the NWA’s Hard Times pay-per-view this Friday.

After NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis retained his title against Ricky Morton in the main event of tonight’s episode of NWA Power, it was announced that Scurll will be appearing at Hard Times. Aldis is facing Scurll’s Villain Enterprises stablemate Flip Gordon in a non-title match at the PPV.

Last month’s Into the Fire PPV ended with Scurll making a surprise appearance and confronting Aldis. Aldis and Strictly Business’ feud with Scurll and Villain Enterprises then continued at ROH’s Saturday Night at Center Stage and Honor Reigns Supreme shows earlier this month.

The NWA has also added three title matches to the card for Hard Times and announced the final participants for their TV title tournament.

NWA Women’s Champion Allysin Kay will defend her title against Thunder Rosa, NWA Tag Team Champions The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express will defend their titles against The Wild Cards and James Storm & Eli Drake in a triple threat match, and NWA National Champion Aron Stevens will defend his title against Scott Steiner.

Matt Cross and ROH’s Dan Maff have been confirmed for the last two spots in the TV title tournament. Cross will face Ricky Starks in the first round, while Maff will face Zicky Dice.

Hard Times is taking place at GPB Studios in Atlanta, Georgia on Friday and will be available via Fite TV. GPB Studios will also host NWA Power tapings on Saturday and Sunday.
