Nick Aldis will compete at NWA 74 after all.
“The National Treasure” had been scheduled to face NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion Trevor Murdoch, but company president Billy Corgan pulled him from the match and replaced him with Tyrus. Aldis’ status for the show was subsequently unclear, but NWA has announced that he will be on the card.
The promotion officially announced that Aldis will battle former ROH star Flip Gordon on the second night of the show.
