The talk of the industry

The National Wrestling Alliance was founded in 1948, with legends such as Ric Flair and Dusty Rhodes leaving their mark on the timeless promotion.

The group has taken on many incarnations over the years, from partnerships with WCW and TNA to the company in its current form owned by Smashing Pumpkins lead singer William Corgan.

At All In the group was the talk of the industry once again when Cody dethroned NWA World Champion Nick Aldis in an emotional match to follow in the footsteps of his legendary father.

Aldis looks to recapture the prestigious title in the main event of the 70th Anniversary show. However, his opponent has yet to be determined as Cody will be defending the title for the first-time since his win against Willie Mack on September 29th in Ring of Honor.
