Who Gets Next Shot at Nick Aldis and NWA Ten Pounds Of Gold?
At #NWA70, Nick Aldis retained the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship from Cody Rhodes. The 2-out-of-3 Falls match is being talked about as "better" than their content at ALL IN. The rivalry between Cody and Aldis has opened the door to question will their be a third match.
As officials work on Aldis Vs. Cody III, the NWA has arranged three challengers for the #TenPoundsOfGold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvCoKDFQ7Z8
ATSUSHI ONITA APPEARANCE WRESTLEMANIA 35 WEEKEND SELLS OUT IN ONE MINUTE
That's faster than WWE can sell out 98% of their shows, LMAO!
The third annual Joey Janela's Spring Break event, set for Friday 4/5 in Jersey City, NJ sold out in one minute today when tickets officially went on sale today.
The show, which would have sold out eventually, had its on sales magnified greatly by their announcement that FMW founder and Japanese Death Match legend Atsushi Onita would be appearing. With no further details on Onita's role, tickets priced up to $195 sold out as soon as they went on sale. Promoters Game Changer Wrestling responded to the sellout via social media, writing, "Wow. Thank you for the overwhelming response. We are grateful to have your support for another year. We will work with the venue to see if there are ways to safely/comfortably add additional seating."
WWE-EVOLVE-NXT Update
WWE announced today that new EVOLVE Champion Fabian Aichner and new EVOLVE Tag Team Champions The Street Profits will be appearing on all announced EVOLVE dates going forward.
The idea behind the NXT talent appearing on the EVOLVE events seems to go back to one of the original discussed ideas surrounding the NXT-EVOLVE relationship several years ago, which was to give EVOLVE talents somewhere else to work while also giving Gabe Sapolsky (who now also works for WWE) a chance to help develop them. There had been talk at the time of the WWN family of promotions taking over the NXT Florida events, but it appears instead the idea is to farm talents out to EVOLVE events and I wouldn't be shocked to see similar instances of talents working for SHINE, etc as well.
With so many talents signed up to train at the WWE Performance Center, there are only so many slots on NXT live events so farming some of the talents out to EVOLVE events makes sense in that it will help give talents who aren't getting NXT TV exposure a spotlight as well as additional ring time in front of live event audiences.
The talent exchange also benefits EVOLVE as they get the direct marketing and promotional help of the WWE machine to help enhance their events, which will only assist their bottom line as well as WWE covering the costs of some talents, which reduces the EVOLVE overhead as well.
While EVOLVE is now allowed to feature these talents on their streaming service, one would think part of the deal is that WWE will have the rights to any of the material featuring their talent for their own library or perhaps even the entire EVOLVE library, similar to the company's deals with ICW and PROGRESS in Europe.
