Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) has landed a new TV deal for his National Wrestling Alliance. The deal will bring “NWA Powerrr” to Sinclair Inc.’s Comet TV.

The following was said about the deal:

“Sinclair Inc.’s Comet TV is teaming up with Billy Corgan, frontman of the GRAMMY® Award-winning iconic rock band The Smashing Pumpkins and president of National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) to bring ‘NWA Powerrr’ back to over-the-air TV for the first time in more than three decades.

Kicking off May 1–2, ‘NWA Powerrr’ launches on Comet with a two-night, one-two punch premiere, Friday in primetime at 10 PM, followed by an all-new episode Saturday at 4 PM, with encore presentations both nights.

Following premiere weekend, ‘NWA Powerrr’ will air weekly on Saturdays at 4 PM, with encores at midnight.”

Corgan added:

“Wrestling was meant to bring fans closer to the action. The NWA has always been about storytelling, personality, and passion. This partnership with Sinclair’s Comet TV is the first step in NWA’s push into free television and allows us to reconnect with audiences the way I experienced wrestling growing up, when it was accessible to everyone. Sinclair, through its previous stewardship of Ring of Honor, demonstrates they know how to honor wrestling’s legacy while building for its future. Together, we’re bringing that spirit back to fans and families across the country.”
