Ace Riley is the Nexus Wrestling Alliance Superstar of the Month for April 2026, an honour secured by a perfect 4-0 record and an exceptional championship month. Riley won the NWA Hardcore Championship during the recognition period, then carried it through three successful defenses. Across four official matches from April 1 through April 26, no one handed Riley a loss, draw or no contest. The championship run began April 5 on IMPACT — Season 2 · Episode 1. Riley defeated Swerve Man, DeCarrion Varnado and Alex Reed in an Extreme Rules Match to win the NWA Hardcore Championship. It was a four-person field and a demanding stipulation, but the verified result stands as the decisive first step in Riley’s month: a victory and a title change. Riley’s work did not stop with the championship victory. On April 12 at IMPACT — Season 2 · Episode 2, Riley retained the Hardcore Championship against Chris Matthews and DK in another Extreme Rules Match. One week later, at LOCKDOWN — Season 2 · Episode 3, Riley defeated Eli Azrael in a Barbed Wire Match, adding a second consecutive successful defense to an already unblemished April ledger. The month closed April 26 at NWA Unleashed, where Riley retained the NWA Hardcore Championship in a Ladder Match against Josh Rolla, Simba and Tarzan. That result completed the third defense of the period and preserved the perfect record through the final official match listed for April. Riley’s four victories came in singles, three-way and four-way competition, across Extreme Rules, Barbed Wire and Ladder Match settings. For April, the case is complete: four matches, four wins, a 100 percent win percentage, one NWA Hardcore Championship victory and three verified title defenses. Ace Riley did not merely accumulate wins; Riley established the month’s most complete championship record, winning the title and retaining it every time it was placed on the line afterward. That sustained standard makes Riley a fitting first Superstar of the Month honouree of Season 2.
