Do we think there will be any NWA involvement?
It's just been announced that in the UK it will be available on ITV (one of our 3 original TV stations therefore a huge deal)

With 7 matches already fixed, I doubt it.

I wonder why, maybe Jim Cornette made them promise to never take the belt within ten feet of the Young Bucks :-)

Maybe AEW not interested with NWA.
I don't expect anything with AEW either.
Im not against the NWA to have anything to do with AEW. But with condition: Either place the NWA World Title in the Main Event, or at least, contested it against AEW top talent, either Cody, or Omega, or Jericho, or anyone both the NWA and AEW consider it as top talent.
Have NWA held show, or at least seeing the NWA World Title contested at MGM Grand Garden Arena is one of my dream though.

Maybe Aldis attacks Cody to let Dustin win

I’d still like to see a Dustin vs Aldis program. It may be too soon after Cody and Aldis but I feel this could be this generation’s Funks (Dory jr & Terry) vs Brisco (Jack) if handled correctly.
Once Scurll is free to join AEW it could lead to some solid tag matches with the Rhodes brothers vs Aldis & Scurll
That said, I agree with earlier comments that the NWA title on AEW should be regarded as THE world title and as such, should main event if defended. It’s just right.

It’s just right. Not going to happen. They didn't start a promotion make another organization's title their top title.

Well TNA and ECW started and used the NWA title. Of course it didn’t end well...

I'm sure with Cody being a top manager of AEW, the idea was discussed. I think if AEW hadn't come to fruition, we still have an NWA series with Cody & Aldis.
I think AEW wants to do their own thing. Is that good? Not sure yet. Only history will write that. I know the owner has deep pockets, but just like WCW even the deepest pockets (AOL/Time Warner) cant keep hemorrhaging money. It looks like more so we need to see (no pun intended) an Alliance between New Japan, ROH and the NWA. Impact & AEW just want to do their own thing until the day they are ready to shut their doors, then they'll come back to the other 3.

No. I believe that like many before him Cody used the NWA for what he could get out of it, and then left it by the roadside. I don't believe Cody Runnels ever cared for the NWA title anywhere near to the degree that Cody Rhodes the character implied.

That’s the great thing about the forum - we can all air our thoughts and opinions whether they’re in agreement with others or not

The National Wrestling Alliance is kind of connected to Ring of Honor right now. The NWA would probably no stray far from ROH. I wouldn't be surprised if AEW at some point worked with the NWA. I just don't foresee it anytime soon.

I hope you’re right Jay Cal. I’d like to see the NWA continue to flourish in rebuilding the brand as the true world championship with a traveling champion that you can potentially see on any promotion’s shows
