On October 21, 2018, Nick Aldis defeated Cody Rhodes for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship at the 70th Anniversary show. October 21 will forever be an important date for the NWA, but not just because of Aldis’ title win.

The champion took to Twitter to celebrate the announcement of “NWA Day”. Noting the historic relationship between NWA and Georgia, Aldis released a photo of a document claiming October 21 will be recognised at National Wrestling Alliance day within the state.

Since September 2019, NWA Powerrr has been broadcast from the GPB Studios in Atlanta, which has also been known as the “NWA Arena”.
