The show will begin using WEDU-PBS as the exclusive studio in October.

“We are excited to welcome the NWA to produce ‘NWA Powerrr’ and host in-person matches at our state-of-the-art production studios,” said Paul Grove, president and CEO of WEDU PBS, in an interview with the Tampa Bay Times. “The NWA team has been incredibly professional, and it’s been a pleasure to support Tampa’s vibrant wrestling community.”

On October 5 and 6, the NWA will shoot around six hours of footage that will be broken into 12 episodes for the series that streams on the CW Network.

“WEDU was appealing to us because of Tampa’s long and storied history with wrestling,” NWA spokesperson Paul Pratt said. “The National Wrestling Alliance leans so heavily into its extremely powerful and storied history. Tampa really represents a huge part of that for us. It’s more challenging for the talent to win audiences over in that kind of environment than it is in a much bigger environment because you’re quite literally in their lap,” Pratt said. “It’s a make it or break it situation.

“If people want to see the stars up close and feel like they’re influencing a television product for professional wrestling, you can’t do that at a stadium show or an arena show. But when you are in the audience of a television studio, your voice is quite literally heard on the air. You get to interact with the stars in a way that I just don’t think that most modern fans have ever experienced.”
