Everything You Need To Know About The NWA's 70th Anniversary Pay-Per-View
1. The Champion: Cody
Cody’s journey to the NWA title culminated at ALL IN — the smashing success of an event that he co-produced with the Young Bucks. In one of wrestling’s most emotional and historic moments of the year, Cody defeated Nick Aldis to capture the title that his father, Dusty Rhodes, had held on three occasions.
While his championship win at ALL IN was a crowning achievement, the American Nightmare's reign is already in jeopardy. Now, Cody must defend his cherished title and his family’s legacy against the man who he defeated for the proverbial "Ten Pounds of Gold" in a two out of three falls contest. The question remains, will Cody hold on to the Worlds title past the NWA’s 70th Anniversary event, or will he end up being a short-term champion just like his father — Dusty, despite holding the title three times, was only champion for a total of one-hundred and seven days.
That question and all of the aforementioned matches will be determined on Sunday when the National Wrestling Alliance re-debuts to the world on pay-per-view seventy years after is inception.
