     In a breakout moment for the National Wrestling Alliance’s tag team division, The Slimeballz — the tandem of Sage Chantz and Tommy Rant — captured the NWA United States Tag Team Championship, marking a major milestone in their careers and a shift in the title landscape.

Championship Victory: What Happened

On September 5, 2025, at NWA Powerrr in Tampa, Florida, The Slimeballz dethroned Kerry Morton to win the NWA United States Tag Team Titles.

Due to circumstances involving Morton’s regular tag partner Alex Taylor being medically unable to compete, the match was contested under handicap rules — with Chantz and Rant facing Morton on their own but still winning the belts. Wikipedia

This triumph crowned The Slimeballz as the new NWA U.S. Tag Team Champions, thrilling fans with their gritty teamwork and unpredictability. 

Where & When It Aired

Although the title change occurred in early September, the match and championship crowning were aired on NWA Powerrr (taped) on December 16, 2025, bringing wider attention to their memorable victory. 

Significance in the NWA Tag Division

The United States Tag Team Championship has been a showcase for rising teams and intense rivalries since its re-introduction, and The Slimeballz’s win signals a fresh chapter. Their unorthodox style and chemistry have injected energy into the tag ranks, and fans are already buzzing about future challengers lining up for a shot at their gold. 

The victory also highlights the unpredictable nature of NWA storylines — where titles can change hands under unusual conditions and elevate emerging stars like The Slimeballz to championship status.
