The main event of NWA Samhain has been announced. 

The NWA World Heavyweight Champion EC3 will defend his title against Thom Latimer on the show. 

EC3 called out Latimer on Tuesday’s edition of NWA Power, saying he didn’t want to waste time showing he’s the greatest champion ever. Latimer accepted EC3’s challenge and will vacate the NWA TV Championship in order to face him for the World title. 

Kamille also confronted EC3 during the segment, saying he plays politics to get the opportunities he’s had, referencing his time in Dixie Carter-era TNA Wrestling. 

NWA Samhain will take place from EC3’s hometown of Cleveland on Saturday, October 28. It will air as a pay-per-view on FITE.  

EC3 became the 58th wrestler to ever win the NWA World Heavyweight title when he defeated Tyrus in a Bull Rope match at NWA 75. Tyrus’ reign with the title finished after 288 days and successful title defenses against Matt Cardona, Rolando Freeman, Daga, and Chris Adonis.
