A spot that saw a manager, wrestlers and women snort cocaine at NWA Samhain could severely affect how viewers can access NWA programming on the CW.

During last weekend's pay-per-view, manager Father James Mitchell was shown at a table with several wrestlers and women, snorting cocaine and drinking alcohol, the clip of which can be seen below.
According to Haus of Wrestling, CW officials weren't happy with that in light of their new deal that was set to bring both NWA Power and a reality TV series to the network. The outlet reported there is a "90% chance" both shows will now air on The CW's app vs. broadcast as a result due to the network receiving negative social media comments after the segment.
From the report:
"As it stands, Haus of Wrestling is told that there is an active push by those higher-up at The CW to have the NWA’s content air solely on their The CW app and not on their actual television airwaves. Apparently, when negotiations were going on to bring the NWA to The CW, Corgan was told that the network would not be watching the PPVs and would only be concerned with what happened on the TV show airing on their platform."
The outlet also reported the cocaine spot was the idea of NWA owner Billy Corgan who "pushed for it to be on the pay-per-view."
They also added a note that the reality series was fully paid for by Corgan with the idea CW could sell ads for it to bring in revenue.
"One of the big selling points for The CW to get behind the reality series was that Corgan said his recent wedding would be a part of it, something they were excited to air. The other pro wrestling aspects of the series, along with the added Powerrr deal, all were agreed to under the understanding The CW would be able to air the Corgan wedding footage."
