It was announced on Wednesday that the 2019 Crockett Cup will take place at Cabarrus Arena in Concord, North Carolina on Saturday, April 27. The NWA also revealed that they’re partnering with ROH for the tag team tournament.
The return of the Crockett Cup was announced at the NWA 70th Anniversary Show this past October. The first qualifying match for the tournament will be held at the NWA’s pop-up event in Clarksville, Tennessee this Saturday.
