The seven competitors battled it out in a hard-fought match, and Corino emerged victorious by pinning Flip Gordon. The match also included Jarron Fulton, Gaagz the Gump, Eric Jackson, PJ Hawx, and Joe Alonzo. Morto confronted him after the match and talked some trash.
Corino, the son of Steve Corino, made his NWA debut in 2019 and later signed with the company in 2021. He confirmed that he was a free agent in January 2023, and he was reportedly expected to head to the WWE Performance Center.
He then reportedly signed with the company in February, but he entered free agency again in May, as he later said his WWE deal fell through. Click here to see what Corino had to say about what happened with his WWE deal.
