With Billy Corgan's National Wrestling Alliance currently in the midst of their two-day NWA 74 event, there now comes a major update on the promotion's next PPV.

Announced by the NWA last night, the next iteration of the company's Hard Times special will emanate from Chalmette, Louisiana's Frederick J. Sigur Civic Center on Saturday 12 November. That PPV will be followed with a batch of TV tapings on 13 November.

This year's Hard Times will be the third time the NWA has run this PPV, with the inaugural Hard Times coming back in 2020. There, the main event saw Ricky Starks defeat Trevor Murdoch in the final of a tournament to crown the new NWA World Television Champion. For the 2021 edition of Hard Times, that concluded with Murdoch retaining the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title against Mike Knox.

As alluded to, last night saw the first leg of the two-night NWA 74 PPV take place, with Kamille on headline duties there as she bested Taya Valkyrie to retain the company's Women's Title. NWA 74 Night 2 will happen later today, with Murdoch defending the NWA Worlds Championship against Tyrus in the main event.
