EC3 controlled the narrative at NWA 312.
At NWA 312, Cyon defended the NWA National Heavyweight Championship against EC3, who has been targeting the gold since he signed with NWA in February. Cyon has been a dominant champion, but his reign came to an end, as EC3 forced him to tap out to a modified version of his signature submission, The Purpose.
Here’s how the match broke down, courtesy of our play-by-play coverage:
EC3 and Cyon feel each other out early on. The match is a stalemate in the early stages. EC3 overpowers Cyon and takes control. Cyon rallies and hits a Death Valley driver for a two count. EC3 sends Cyon to the outside. Cyon and EC3 trade blows. EC3 seemingly hurts his leg on a leapfrog, but he lures Cyon in and takes him down. He locks in a Crossface of sorts and makes Cyon tap out to win the title.
With the victory. EC3 won his first title in NWA. He ended Cyon’s reign, which began when he defeated Jax Dane at NWA 74. in August 2022.
