Trevor Murdoch fakes his retirement to create new character in NWA

Trevor Murdoch pulled a fast one on the fans of the National Wrestling Alliance. About two months ago, Murdoch made an impulsive decision to retire in the ring. Fast forward to the latest episode of NWA Powerrr (airing June 27, 2026), and Murdoch faked everyone out with inspiration from Harley Race. After losing to Pretty Boy Smooth, Murdoch gave a speech deciding it was time to retire. The emotion felt real, and, honestly, it was an appropriate way to go out as a blue-collar wrestler without pomp and circumstance. Murdoch explained that he didn’t want to hang on too long and embarrass himself, his family, and mentor Harley Race. 𝙎𝘼𝙔 𝙄𝙏 𝙄𝙎𝙉’𝙏 𝙎𝙊 It’s over?!
