Trevor Murdoch burst onto the pro wrestling scene in 2005 when he teamed with the late Lance Cade and eventually won the WWE World Tag Team Championship three times.

While Murdoch hasn’t performed in WWE for more than a decade, he still rode an incredible wave of success on the independent scene and in Total Nonstop Action. Murdoch retired from pro wrestling in 2018 but came back to the squared circle for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) in 2019 and appeared in the company’s very first taping of "NWA Powerrr."

Murdoch ascended to the top of the promotion, winning the NWA National Heavyweight Championship over Aron Stevens and holding onto the belt for more than 180 days before losing to Chris Adonis.

In 2021, Murdoch became the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion when he defeated Nick Aldis. He held the title for 167 days before losing it to Matt Cardona. He won again a few months later but lost it at Hard Times 3 to current champion Tyrus.

"I always, as a wrestler, have always wanted the company that had a boss that just trusted me. To give me opportunities, to let me fail. Billy (Corgan) and the NWA have done that," Murdoch told Fox News Digital in a recent interview when asked about his time so far at the company. 

"They have given me the opportunities to go out there, and I tell them what I can do and what I’m gonna do in these matches. And they go, ‘OK, go do it.’ And they give me opportunities to prove that I’m a good wrestler. That I’m willing to go out there
