NWA Cuts Ties With ROH
NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis pulled from Ring of Honor's Summer Supercard event.
After having worked together earlier this year to bring back the Crockett Cup, the relationship between the National Wrestling Alliance and Ring of Honor has come to an end. For now, at least.
PWInsider broke the news, with the break-up reportedly being an amicable one. As such, there is the possibility that the NWA and ROH could well end up working together again down the line – maybe even for another edition of the Crockett Cup tag team tournament next year.
Due to the end of this relationship, NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Nick Aldis has been pulled from August 9th’s Summer Supercard show where he was set to defend his title against a to-be-revealed member of Villain Enterprises.
At present, that leaves the Summer Supercard event with just three confirmed matches. Matt Taven will defend the ROH World Championship against Alex Shelley, Kelly Klein will defend the ROH Women of Honor Championship against Tasha Steelz, and there will be trios action as Caristico, Soberano Jr. and Stuka Jr. go up against Barbaro Cavernario, Hechicero and Templario.
Moving forward, Dave Lagana – who recently got finished with his ROH commitments – and Billy Corgan plan to focus their time on developing a weekly show for the National Wrestling Alliance. That’s once Corgan finishes off his current Smashing Pumpkins tour, of course.
