This week, in a new interview with “The National Treasure”, Nick Aldis, Mike McGuire follows up from their first conversation – days after which Aldis announced his departure from the NWA.

However unlikely it may seem to some, Sami Zayn has the most momentum behind him than several challengers facing Roman Reigns. Win or lose, should Zayn be added to the WrestleMania Title Match?
