After leading the promotion to somewhat of a revival, Nick Aldis announced that he was leaving the NWA earlier this year. Then, rumours started circulating that this was because Aldis had some serious heat with NWA President Billy Corgan.

Maybe he was more of a Nine Inch Nails kinda guy.

Part of the reason for Aldis' departure was the alleged disrespect Corgan showed his wife Mickie James. The multiple-time World Champion was instrumental in getting NWA's all-female Empowerrr show off the ground, but was apparently mistreated by Corgan in the wake of the event.

James currently works for Impact, where she is in the middle of her "Last Rodeo". This means that the next match she loses will be her last for the promotion, which could be setting up an exit for some point next year.

You'd have to imagine that these two would come as a package deal, and what a get they would be for any company. WWE, AEW, a possibly-returning World of Sport? Fans will be glued to the progress of the Aldis-James household throughout 2023.

And they're not the only married couple with some buzz around them...
