As PWInsider.com broke on 8/10, Marquez's United Wrestling Network and The National Wrestling Alliance will be launching a new, weekly 90-minute live PPV series titled United Wrestling Network's Primetime Live, airing on Tuesday nights from California's Thunder Studio on all PPV providers and FITE.TV.
The PPV series is slated to air Tuesday nights at 9 PM EST/6 Pacific, debuting 9/15. We are told the expected weekly price for the PPV will be around $13-$15 per week. We are told FITE.TV will offer a monthly subscription that covers all of the live events and VOD replays. It will be the first attempt at a weekly PPV series since the early days of Impact Wrestling launched with weekly $9.99 PPVs, later morphing into a more traditional PPV model.
PWInsider.com is told that the primary booking team for the endeavor will be NWA Champion Nick Aldis, Marquez and Aron Stevens (aka the former Damian Sandow in WWE) and will effectively bring back fresh NWA content after the promotion paused production on NWA Powerrr. Obviously, NWA President Billy Corgan will have a say in the NWA-centric content and matches. One would think NWA Championship matches will be a major part of the presentation for the PPV series.
The Primetime Live PPV series will be presented in an empty arena setting with Thunder Studios setting the COVID-19 safety protocols, according to a press release issued on 8/10. The PPV series will be the biggest undertaking in the history of Marquez's career in professional wrestling, which has included promoting events all over the world, including China and overseeing the United Wrestling Network's umbrella of "Championship Wrestling From..." promotions, most notably the Championship Wrestling from Hollywood series, which will resume production of new episodes later this month as well.
