With the first night of NWA 74 now in the record books, there are two title changes to report.

First up, Cyon defeated Jax Dane with a Death Valley Driver to become the new NWA National Heavyweight Champion. Later in the show, La Rebelion once again became the promotion's Tag Team Champions.

What's most interesting about that tag bout, is the the Commonwealth Connection of Doug Williams and Harry Smith - who were the Tag Champions heading into NWA 74 - were pulled from the match due to Smith being ill. As such, that meant that the contest was changed to La Rebelion's Bestia 666 and Mecha Wolf 450 taking on the Hawx Aerie tandem of Luke Hawx and PJ Hawx. La Rebelion got the win after Damian 666, who was cornering La Rebelion, sprayed mist into the face of Luke.

Elsewhere, NWA 74 Night 1 saw EC3 beat Matthew Mims, the Miserably Faithful topple the Ill Begotten, Chris Adonis best Odinson, Homicide retained the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title against Kerry Morton, Rolando Freeman picked up the shock victory over the returning Matt Cardona, Max the Impaler won the Burke Invitational, Bully Ray beat Mike Knox in a tables match, and the main event had Kamille successfully defend the NWA World Women's Championship against Taya Valkyrie.
