Nick Aldis is adjusting to free agency just fine.
Beginning January 1, 2023, Nick Aldis officially entered the free agency market, leaving the National Wrestling Alliance in his rearview mirror. Speaking with Dominic DeAngelo for AdFreeShows, “The National Treasure” discussed his approach to this new chapter of his wrestling career.
“I just wanted to be free and clear of any commitments for a minute, and then see what happens and sort of discuss — I’ve had a couple of different phone calls with a couple of different people and places and sort of, ‘what if we did this or maybe that?’ I think, for now, that’s sort of what I want it to be,” Aldis said.
The former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion continued, laying out some of his current schedule.
“I just had [an appearance in] Chicago. Well, no, it was outside of Chicago, near Peoria actually. I had that show in Illinois and I go to Calgary this week for Dungeon Wrestling for the Hart family. Then, I go to Australia. I’ve got a show and a seminar in Australia, but then obviously doing some media and other business for the big event that we’re doing at the end of the year. Then I think I’ve already got four or five UK dates on the books. I have bookings as far out as December.”
Rather than locking himself down with one promotion, Aldis stands by his strategy to keep “a couple of irons in the fire.”
“I like approaching the business a bit like the guys used to, like [how] Matt Cardona is doing that. He’s working a little program in this territory, and then goes over and works a little thing over here, does something else over here. That’s intriguing to me. Ultimately, I’m just I’m very confident that I can deliver. So, it’s waiting for the right opportunity, not necessarily the first one,” he said.
