Billy Corgan NWA Comet TV news is official: the Smashing Pumpkins frontman has secured a new television home for his National Wrestling Alliance promotion, bringing the historic wrestling brand to a wider free TV audience.

The league’s flagship show, NWA Powerrr, will begin airing on Sinclair’s Comet TV starting May 1, marking a significant expansion for the promotion Corgan has led since 2017.

“Wrestling was meant to bring fans closer to the action,” Corgan said in a statement announcing the deal. “The NWA has always been about storytelling, personality, and passion. This partnership with Sinclair’s Comet TV is the first step in NWA’s push into free television and allows us to reconnect with audiences the way I experienced wrestling growing up, when it was accessible to everyone.”

The move reflects Corgan’s long-term vision for the NWA, which he acquired in 2017 after years as a devoted wrestling fan. His behind-the-scenes work running the promotion became the focus of the 2024 reality series Billy Corgan’s Adventures in Carnyland, which streamed on The CW app and CWTV.com.

Beyond the squared circle, Corgan remains active with his music career. He and the Smashing Pumpkins are scheduled to perform at this year’s Lollapalooza and Darker Waves festivals.
