The NWA posted a new video today, showing former WWE Superstar Mike Bennett challenging Nick Aldis for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship. In the video, Bennett said he wants to face Aldis at the UWN pay-per-view event on September 15th. Bennett said,
“It’s time to take back what’s mine. My name is Mike Bennett. Do you hear me, my name is Mike Bennett! I’ve been a professional wrestler for 20 years. I’ve traveled the word.”
“It’s time to prove [to] everybody that has ever believed in me that you are 100% correct. And the only way to do that is to hit the ground running. So here’s what I’m going to do, and you don’t have to accept this if you don’t want to. But I know — I know that you feel the same way I do. I know you were perceived one way for the longest time, and it eats you alive. So I know that you know exactly what I am going through.
“Nick Aldis — September 15th, I want the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. I need to restore dignity to my family. I need it to restore honor to my name. And the only way I can do that is to beat you for that prestigious world championship. Nick, you don’t have to accept; I won’t be mad if you don’t. But this is everything to me. This is my livelihood. This is my legacy. Nick, September 15th, I’m down if you’re down. I am fighting for my life.”
The challenge has been issued!
