Kaiden Pandora Claims Vacant NWA Shockwave Championship at Last Rites

Kaiden Pandora defeated Jordan Reed at NWA Last Rites to claim the vacant NWA Shockwave Championship and secure the first recorded title reign of his NWA career.

Kaiden Pandora defeated Jordan Reed in singles competition at NWA Last Rites, claiming the vacant NWA Shockwave Championship in the process. The seventh match on the Season 2 PLE card carried championship stakes, and Pandora emerged with both the victory and the title. The Shockwave Championship had stood vacant in the recorded lineage following a June 22 vacancy, publicly attributed to a contract termination with the NWA. Pandora’s win now establishes him as the resulting champion, ending that vacancy and beginning his first recorded reign with the promotion. It was a significant result for Pandora, who entered the match with a 1-2 recorded career mark and a one-match winning streak. He had been ranked No. 24 overall in the pre-match October 28 snapshot, while Reed was listed at No. 32. The standings offered a narrow statistical separation, but the championship result gave Pandora the defining competitive outcome on the night. For Reed, Last Rites marked his first recorded NWA match. He entered without a previous match or title reign in the public record and was immediately placed in a championship contest against an opponent carrying recent momentum. There was no prior recorded exact-lineup meeting between Pandora and Reed before this contest. Their first documented encounter now belongs to Pandora, whose victory officially makes him the NWA Shockwave Champion and raises his recorded career record to 2-2.
