The territories are back, according to NWA President Billy Corgan, with the launching of Exodus Pro as an NWA territory.

Before Vince McMahon's global expansion of the promotion we know today as WWE, North America was split into territories where promoters would keep to their area and avoid competing with other companies. Notable territories of the era include Championship Wrestling from Florida, the American Wrestling Association, and Jim Crockett Promotions.

During an Exodus Pro event. NWA President Billy Corgan was joined by NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion/Exodus Pro founder EC3. Corgan announced that Exodus Pro will be a new territory for the NWA and that the Exodus Pro Heavyweight Championship will be recognized by the NWA.

Corgan said that Exodus Pro will now be called NWA Exodus Pro and the brand will represent NWA Champions coming to Cleveland, Ohio. EC3 is in his first reign as NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion after defeating Tyrus at the NWA 75 event earlier this year.



Exodus Pro was established earlier this year and the promotion's first event was held in August. At the time, EC3 said that he aimed to help talent "take initiative" by giving them a platform. The promotion is an affiliate of EC3's other company 'Control Your Narrative,' though that promotion hasn't hosted any events in over a year. WWE's Braun Strowman, who wrestled for CYN as Adam Scherr, claimed last year that he has ownership of Control Your Narrative.
