Tyrus is at the top of the mountain of the National Wrestling Alliance<\/a> (NWA) and will look to stay that way Friday when he squares off against Chris Adonis for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship at NWA 312.<\/p>\n

The event is set to take place in Highland Park, Illinois, at Studio One, and the wrestlers will be performing with heavy hearts through the weekend. The NWA and Madame Zuzu\u2019s partnered to raise money for those effected by the July 4 mass shooting that took place in the suburb last year that left seven dead and dozens of others injured.<\/p>\n

Tyrus, who is also a Fox News personality and is regularly seen with Greg Gutfeld and Kat Timpf on “Gutfeld!,”<\/a> will have a book signing for his New York Times bestseller autobiography, “Just Tyrus,” at Madame Zuzu\u2019s on Thursday at 7 p.m. local time. He will be featured with legendary women\u2019s pro wrestler “Madusa” with her book, “The Woman Who Would Be King: The MADUSA Story.”<\/p>\n

“Giving back to just not my community where I live, being an active participant, being a good neighbor and a good citizen, I think if you have the ability to give back, you should,” Tyrus told Fox News Digital in a recent interview. “One of the things you\u2019re a lot attuned to be in entertainment and to be on TV every week is that you make a nice living. So, you probably should humble yourself at times and give back. Something that\u2019s always been important to me is to stay grounded and remember where you came from.”<\/p>\n

A portion of the process from the VIP packages that were sold for the benefit event and tickets to the book signing will go to the Highland Park Foundation. The charity has a special fund for victims and families effected by last year\u2019s shooting.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re going to sign a lot of autographs, take pictures, build awareness, and then Friday will be the big match between me and Chris Adonis,” Tyrus said. “He\u2019s trying to right his ship and get his redemption, but unfortunately, it just can\u2019t be on my watch.”<\/p>\n

“I like Chris. I\u2019ve known him for years. This is the first time we\u2019ve ever competed against each other in the ring. He\u2019s pretty hyped about his Master Lock. I just don\u2019t think he\u2019s going to really get that on my shoulders. But that\u2019s why we go out and have the match, and we\u2019ll see who\u2019s standing when it\u2019s over, but I feel pretty good about my positioning and where I\u2019m at right now.”<\/p>\n

Tyrus has been with NWA since 2021. He won the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship at Hard Times 3 when he pinned Trevor Murdoch, and later, he defended the belt against Matt Cardona at Nuff Said in February.<\/p>\n

Being the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion means his name is up there with some of the legends in pro wrestling, including Ric Flair, Harley Race, Lou Thesz, Ricky Steamboat and Dusty Rhodes.<\/p>\n

“To even be considered into that to me is humbling and a pretty phenomenal thing,” Tyrus said. “But I\u2019ve just been able to dominate, and I\u2019ve really been able to do it my way in the NWA, and I think the success, the sold-out shows, the most-seen championship on the planet right now \u2026 I\u2019m just riding a tremendous wave, and I\u2019m just going to ride it until it goes down and then I\u2019ll regroup.<\/p>\n

“But at this point, if it all ends tomorrow, I have nothing but fond memories, and I\u2019m really excited about how the last two years of my wrestling career has gone.”<\/p>\n

Before NWA, Tyrus worked for WWE<\/a> and Impact Wrestling. He told Fox News Digital he would possibly like to have one more match with the company but is happy where he\u2019s at with NWA.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s one of those things where, like, I think because I started there, it would be nice to go back and say goodbye,” he said. “But as far as like a long-term run or anything like that, no, I\u2019m not interested in that anymore. I\u2019ll probably finish my career in the NWA, but it would be nice to come back and have a one-off or just say goodbye to the fans.”<\/p>\n

“Where I started in the WWE is a big part of my success and, again, like I said, a lot of it has to do with scheduling. I\u2019m pretty busy with Fox and there are no part-time jobs in the WWE. I\u2019ll cross that bridge when I get there. I was with WWE on two different occasions, and on the second occasion, I did a lot of great things and really proud [about] that. So, if I never went back, no sweat. If I did, it\u2019d be a nice close to a chapter and to move on. But my future is with the NWA for the time being, and I can\u2019t really see that changing.”<\/p>\n

Tyrus said he is happy with how his time with NWA has panned out.<\/p>\n

“All [of the last few years] have been a lot better than my expectations were,” he told Fox News Digital. “I was excited just to kind of do my thing, and I didn\u2019t realize that it would take off to the point which it did, but I couldn\u2019t be more happy about it.”<\/p>\n

NWA 312<\/a> will take place Friday with a pre-show event beginning at 8 p.m. CT and the main card starting at 9 p.m. Wrestling fans who can’t make it out to Highland Park will be able to watch the event on FITE TV for $24.99. There will be tapings of NWA Powerrr and NWA USA on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
