NWA 70 Live Results (10/21): Nick Aldis Regains The NWA Championship, New National Champion, Jazz Makes A Surprising Challenge

By Robert DeFelice

NWA World’s Heavyweight Championship: Cody (c) vs. Nick Aldis (2-Out-Of-3 Falls)

Aldis has a well-built woman named Kamilla with him to neutralize Brandi. The match starts with a handshake and some well-wrestled chain wrestling. Two times early on Cody has taken a powder. Aldis chose to work on the back of Cody Rhodes softening it up with a bow and arrow hold as well as a devastating superplex. Cody locked on a figure four leg lock Nick was able to get to the ropes and locked on his version of the Cloverleaf and Cody tapped out immediately

Winner Of Fall #1 – Nick Aldis

Cody popped up to his feet immediately and was ready to go but there was a minute rest. Aldis immediately powdered to the floor and Cody landed a tope suicidé and this led to a lot of broiling on the outside of the ring that went all the way up into the crowd with Jim Cornette remarking that in the old days you might have been stabbed out in the crowd. Joe Galli countered that by saying instead of holding knives the people are holding their phone and looking for the perfect Snapchat moment.

Back to the ring, Cody propped up a table in the corner. All this looked like he was about to put Cody through it when Brandi stepped into the ring, which brought in Kamilla who got in the face of both Randy and Cody. All this would eventually end up knocking over Cody who knocked into Brandi. The referee would get the table out of the ring but all this would go right to the outside and set it up in a horizontal position on the outside of the ring he would lay Cody across the table and headed to the top rope going for an elbow drop but Cody would move and all this would crash and burn through the table and onto the concrete floor.

Cody would capitalize on this and hit Crossrhodes in the middle of the ring for victory and to tie it all up.

Winner Of  Fall #2: Cody

The third fall really picked up when they threw out both valets and all the former champions allowing it to really come down to the two men in the ring. Both stole each other’s finishers has the crowd chanted “this is awesome!” and “fight forever!”

The finish came when Aldis tried to go for the Cloverleaf again but Cody has loosened his boot so all Nick was able to do was pull off the boot. Just like Eddie Guerrero in the main event of WrestleMania in 2004, Cody would utilize a small package. However, they call this shifted the momentum and actually scored the pinfall victory over Cody to regain the championship. The crowd was stunned, and so we’re both competitors honestly, has the show went off the air with Nick and Camila celebrating.

Winner And New Champ: Nick Aldis

So, that happened. I feel like it was almost more of a letdown than anything else right now. It seems like they just gave Cody the title for the pop of All In but I think he could have really helped them expand. Either way, expect to have the Cody/WWE rumors to pick up. All in all, it wasn’t bad. There’s a lot of growing pains yet with this promotion and I think that we experienced a lot of it in the show and I can’t really say that I was captivated by all of it but I will say that there are a lot of great building blocks and their promotion currently has a stable foundation to build upon. If the Crockett Cup airs on FITE, that is where I will see the NWA next. For now, Ten Pounds Of Gold should be interesting and with that said, good fight and goodnight.
