Nick Aldis talks turning down AEW, building the NWA brand, and more!

DDT: You also successfully defended your title against Marty Scurll a few months back at the Crockett Cup and it was The Villain who helped you to the back after the attack from The Briscoes at Best in the World. Can fans expect anything to stem from that or was it simply a case of a friend helping out a friend?

Aldis: I think you’ll have to watch this space. After the Crockett Cup, and I think I’m safe in saying this, I think a lot of people would like to see that match again. Maybe Marty deserves his moment.
What have been your thoughts on what Cody, The Young Bucks and Tony Khan have accomplished so far with All Elite Wrestling and how beneficial do you think it is to wrestling to have another company out there for wrestlers to work for?

DDT: If you could have one dream title defense as NWA Worlds Heavyweight champion, who would it be against?

Aldis: I’m just going to say it. I have a vision of eventually headlining Starrcade with the ten pounds of gold on the line, but Starrcade currently belongs to WWE. That to me would be the pinnacle, my crowning achievement for the body of work I’ve done with this with this brand and this championship. To me, the two perfect-world opponents for that would be Randy Orton or Triple H, based on the historical significance of it.
