Last month, Sasha Banks surprised LuchaLibre Barcelona by showing up to train with the coaches and students at their wrestling school, and she isn't stopping there. A new video has surfaced online of Banks and former Cruiserweight Champion Juventud Guerrera sparring in the ring, with "The Boss" using some unique chain wrestling to lock in a cross armbar. "A real professional woman , Always looking for the best ,never stop dreaming, never surrender. You deserve the best !" Guerrera wrote alongside the video. In a recent social media post, Banks teased there's going to be "something so f*****g crazy" coming up that fans will want to catch. "I'm really gonna make the most of this November to make all my dreams happen in preparation for this date that I've been waiting for. I'm very excited and I hope you guys come along for this journey, which I know a lot of you have been with me for so long." There's no telling what Banks might be referring to, but it may be connected to Survivor Series later this month in Banks' hometown of Boston, Massachusetts.
Nick Aldis announced over the weekend he was giving his notice to leave NWA this December when his deal expired. The NWA followed by suspending him earlier today. According to Fightful Select, who spoke to Aldis after the latter canceled an upcoming interview, Aldis' relationship with the NWA soured due to disrespect from NWA President Billy Corgan towards Aldis' wife, Mickie James, before and after last year's NWA EmPowerrr event. James was instrumental in putting together EmPowerrr, and was largely seen as the face of the show. Fightful also revealed that several female talents that have regularly appeared in the NWA have felt disrespected by recent comments made by Corgan and NWA World Heavyweight Champion Trevor Murdoch, suggesting a second EmPowerrr wasn't feasible due to lack of depth/a lack of worthy women's wrestlers to put together a show. Corgan again drew controversy early Monday morning for echoing past thoughts on the matter.
