- "Ironman" Rob Conway defeated Satoshi Kojima at the Cauliflower Alley Club Reunion in Las Vegas this past Monday to regain the National Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Championship. The victory begins Conway's second reign with the championship. His first began when he defeated the Tokyo Monster Kahagas at an NWA Branded Outlaw Wrestling event in San Antonio, Texas on March 16, 2013. It came to an end at the hands of Kojima at New Japan Pro Wrestling's "Wrestle Kingdom 8" event in Tokyo on January 4 in Kojima's second attempt at capturing the title, having unsuccessfully challenged Conway on April 7, 2013.

- At a press meeting earlier this week in Las Vegas, Nevada the National Wrestling Alliance announced the promotion of James Beard to Director of Operations and Head Referee. Beard had previously acted in the role of Director of Talent Relations, occasionally refereeing high profile NWA matches. Beard is a 30-plus year veteran in professional wrestling world wide as a referee and behind the scenes as a television writer, creative consultant, booker, talent agent and promoter. The NWA also made official Chris Ronquillo's position as Chief Executive Officer. Though unannounced, Ronquillo had been acting in that capacity since early 2013.
