Nick Aldis wants to finish what he started with Cody Rhodes.
In an interview with Nick Hausman of Wrestling Inc., Nick Aldis spoke about his history with Cody Rhodes. The two traded wins while they feuded over the NWA World Championship, and Aldis explained how plans for a trilogy were ultimately put on hold.
“Cody and I wanted to do a trilogy. And that basically got shot down after he told Ring of Honor that he was moving on, because they basically said, “Well, we are doing you a favor by allowing you to do these NWA title matches. We’ve already agreed to the rematch in Nashville that’s already sold out, so go ahead and do business and that’ll be the end of it.
“So I know that Cody was frustrated and upset with that, but I don’t think that had… He and I are great dance partners … The process with Cody and I was probably the easiest I’ve ever had. One of the easiest I’ve ever had. Because, I don’t know, I think we have the same philosophy on the wrestling business. I really do. And I think that a perfect way to exemplify what I’m saying is, we never actually even discussed the finish for All In.”
Aldis said that no one ever told him he had to lose the title to Cody, rather that it was understood that they’d trade wins. He said they both knew they had to do business and it was right for the fans.
As far as a possible rubber match goes, Aldis says he knows his response would garner attention and couldn’t see the match being anything but a success.
“Of course I would. And I think that we would tear the house down. We tore the house down in two matches where we had nothing but a YouTube show to build it. So I could only hope that with the tremendous resources and the expertise of guys like Triple H involved in the process, that we wouldn’t… I could only imagine that we’d be able to make nothing but money. But that’s not up for me to say. That’s not up to me.”
Aldis is currently serving a suspension by the NWA for his recent comments about leaving the promotion. Rhodes is currently rehabbing a torn pectoral muscle suffered in June.
