Nick Aldis says he has given NWA his notice
In a now-deleted video, former two-time NWA World Champion Nick Aldis posted on Instagram Sunday that he has given his notice to the NWA.
According to those who saw the video, Aldis said he and NWA owner William Corgan have their differences and that the organization has got so embarrassing that he can’t be a part of it any longer.
PWInsider reported that his deal is set to expire in January 2023 and that the issues between the two are legitimate due to the creative direction of the company.
Aldis, who has been with the company since 2017, is set to take on Odinson as part of Saturday’s Hard Times 3 pay-per-view in New Orleans, Louisiana, making the timing of the video noteworthy.
The 36-year-old was set to face NWA World Champion Trevor Murdoch at NWA 74 earlier this year, but was replaced by Tyrus. At the time, Corgan accused Aldis of politicking behind the scenes and that “no one stresses me out more in the NWA than Nick Aldis, no one is more highly paid than Nick Aldis and no one is more unhappy than Nick Aldis.”
Aldis still appeared at the two-night NWA 74 event against Flip Gordon and also was allowed to cut a promo.
