More on Nick Aldis/NWA relationship deteriorating
Added 2022-11-07 20:45:23 +0000 UTCFightful was scheduled to interview former NWA Worlds Champion Nick Aldis on November 7 to promote the company's weekend show, but that isn't happening.
Our talk with Aldis was postponed after he was pulled from the weekend shows after being outspoken about his decision to give notice that he was leaving the NWA on January 1. NWA issued us a statement, saying "Pursuant to the recent comments made by Nick Aldis, the National Wrestling Alliance, has suspended Aldis from the main roster and effective immediately Aldis will not appear for the Hard Times 3 PPV and Revolution Rumble television tapings in New Orleans, LA on Nov. 12, 2022 and Nov. 13, 2022. As such, the National Wrestling Alliance reserves its right to comment on this matter at a future date."
In postponing the interview, Aldis noted that Billy Corgan's disrespect towards Aldis' wife Mickie James in the lead up and following NWA Empowerrr was a huge reason for the relationship between Aldis and NWA souring. It was noted that they've never spoken out about it publicly because of Aldis' spot as a top name in the NWA.
We have heard from several women who have regularly appeared in NWA who also felt disrespected by Corgan and Trevor Murdoch's claims that there wasn't enough depth or enough women that could work the NWA style to do a second Empowerrr show.
Aldis was scheduled to compete for the NWA Worlds Championship at NWA 74, but was replaced with Tyrus.
We're told Aldis will have some media appearances this week to address the matter.
In an update, we're told this situation is not a work, and has been brewing for quite some time.

Billy Corgan is a tool. He'd rather have Tyrus representing his company as Worlds Heavyweight Champion. (I don't get the Worlds thing in front of Heavyweight Champion unless there is another world out there).

2022-11-08 02:02:30 +0000 UTCCorgan is a jackass always has been
2022-11-08 01:24:22 +0000 UTCSo instead of using him for the final dates he was scheduled they said "nah, go home early?" That's pretty petty.

2022-11-08 00:06:50 +0000 UTCAldis in WWE or AEW would be a great addition to the roster. In fact I could see Aldis being a main event star in WWE or AEW

2022-11-07 22:57:43 +0000 UTCAldis should join MLW or impact to give them another main event level wrestler each could use him.

2022-11-07 22:27:55 +0000 UTCNick on impact or aew would be cool , Nick vs Hamerstone for the mlw championship would sell out an arena if we ever get that match ,but more than likely he goes to impact cause Mickie is there
