Styles returned on the edition of 2 January 2014 of Impact Wrestling still claiming to be the legitimate champion as he was never defeated for the title.

On 30 January episode of Impact Wrestling, Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle defeated Magnus and Ethan Carter III in a stipulated tag match. In the match, Joe forced Magnus to tap out and as a result of the stipulation put in place, he would receive a shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. On 2 March, Magnus successfully defended the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in Tokyo, Japan, defeating Kai at Wrestle-1's Kaisen: Outbreak event.{{cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/TNA_News_1/article_76731.shtml|title=Show results – 3/2 TNA vs. Wrestle-1 in Tokyo, Japan: "One Night Only" PPV results, set-up for Lockdown|date=2 March 2014|access-date=2 March 2014|publisher=Pro Wrestling Torch}} At Lockdown, Magnus successfully defended his TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Samoa Joe. On 3 April, Magnus successfully defended his TNA World Heavyweight Championship against Samoa Joe, Eric Young and Abyss. On 8 April, Director of Wrestling Operations MVP announced a 10-man gauntlet match that took place on 10 April episode of Impact Wrestling where the winner would receive a future TNA World Heavyweight Championship that same night. The match would later be won by Eric Young who requested to have his shot at the same night, in which Magnus lost the TNA World Heavyweight Championship to Young. At Sacrifice, Magnus received a rematch for the title, but was again defeated by Young.

Shortly after his loss to Eric Young, Magnus began a losing streak, after losing out on a number one contender's spot for the championship Magnus was met in a backstage segment by his childhood friend and fellow Brit Bram, who began to chastise him, claiming he had gone soft. Over the next several weeks, Magnus began showing signs of a face turn when Bram would throw weapons into the ring and encourage him to let out a more intense side but Magnus would refuse. More signs began to show from Magnus when he first attacked Bram in a backstage segment, and then when Magnus saved Tigre Uno from an assault from Bram the following week. On the edition of 5 June of Impact Wrestling, it looked as though Magnus would finalise his face turn and save Willow from Bram, but would in fact remain heel and attack Willow himself with a steel pry bar. Since developing a more violent persona, Magnus and Bram began a rivalry with Willow and the returning Abyss. Magnus defeated Willow on 15 June 2014, at Slammiversary XII. On 26 June 2014, episode of Impact Wrestling Magnus and Bram defeated Willow and Abyss in a tag team Monster's Ball match. On 20 August 2014, at Hardcore Justice, Magnus was a participant in a six-sides of steel match to determine a number 1 contender for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, the match was ultimately won by Eric Young and Bobby Roode.

On 23 January 2015, episode of Impact Wrestling, Magnus competed in the Feast or Fired match grabbing the final case which contained a TNA World Tag Team Championship title opportunity, in which Bram claimed to have been the one to obtain it for himself but the chance was stolen from Magnus. On 30 January episode of Impact Wrestling, Magnus tried to reconcile with Bram in a bar, but after leaving the bar he was then viciously attacked by Bram, which would turn Magnus face once again. The following week Mickie James, (Magnus's real-life fiancé) returned to TNA to confront Bram who threatened Mickie in return. The week after, Magnus returned and attacked Bram in retaliation for threatening Mickie. This would lead to a match between the two which Magnus won by disqualification after Magnus was strapped to the ropes, after which Mickie ran down to the ring and was grabbed by Bram who forced Magnus to kiss his boot, to which he obliged. Magnus would get redemption and attack Bram backstage. This would lead to a No Disqualification match between the two which Magnus won to end the feud.

Magnus would enter into a storyline with James Storm who intervened in his final match with Bram by saving Mickie James from being attacked. On 24 April episode of Impact Wrestling, Magnus and Mickie James both came down to the ring to announce Mickie's retirement from professional wrestling to focus on raising their son but were interrupted by Storm who managed to convince her not to. Magnus was later approached backstage by Davey Richards (who had previously feuded with Storm) who warned Magnus not to trust Storm, after which Magnus asked a member of the camera crew to follow Mickie around to keep an eye on her. After consulting the footage the crew gathered, Magnus confronted Storm and warned him to stay out of his and Mickie's business. The following week the two would have another confrontation where Storm would push Magnus too far and provoked him to attack Storm with a guitar officially igniting their feud. The following week on Impact Wrestling, Magnus called out Storm for a fight to instead be met by former rival and Storm's Revolution teammate Abyss and eventually the rest of The Revolution members Manik and Khoya. At Slammiversary XIII, Magnus faced James Storm in a losing effort. On 29 July episode of Impact Wrestling, Magnus and Mickie James defeated James Storm and Serena in a mixed tag match. On 29 June 2015, TNA announced that Magnus was released from the TNA, after nearly 8 years with the company.

On 22 July 2012, Magnus made his debut for the Japanese Pro Wrestling Noah promotion, when he and Samoa Joe defeated Akitoshi Saito and Jun Akiyama to win the GHC Tag Team Championship.{{cite web|url=http://www.noah.co.jp/tour_detail.php?tour_id=989|title=Great Voyage 2012 in Ryogoku ～力皇猛引退セレモニー～|access-date=22 July 2012|publisher=Pro Wrestling Noah|language=ja}}{{cite web|url=http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/118-daily-updates/26650-tna-stars-capture-ghc-tag-title|title=TNA stars capture GHC tag title|last=Meltzer|first=Dave|author-link=Dave Meltzer|date=22 July 2012|access-date=22 July 2012|work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}} On 8 October, Magnus and Joe lost the title to KENTA and Maybach Taniguchi in their first defence.{{cite web|url=http://www.noah.co.jp/tour_detail.php?tour_id=1044|title=ザ・リーヴ presents 「Great Voyage 2012 in Yokohama vol.2」|access-date=8 October 2012|publisher=Pro Wrestling Noah|language=ja|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120920005732/http://noah.co.jp/tour_detail.php?tour_id=1044|archive-date=20 September 2012|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/Other_News_4/article_65783.shtml|title=Japan News: TNA stars drop Tag Titles, former WWE stars win Tag Titles, Low-Ki recaptures title, more|last=Caldwell|first=James|date=8 October 2012|access-date=8 October 2012|publisher=Pro Wrestling Torch}}

File:Nick Aldis NWA World HW Champ.jpg in April 2018]]

On 23 September 2017, Aldis made his debut for Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, defeating Will Roode. Immediately following the match Aldis set forth a challenge to Tim Storm for the NWA World's Heavyweight Championship.{{Cite web|url=https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=184041|title=CWFH « Events Database « CAGEMATCH - The Internet Wrestling Database|website=www.cagematch.net|access-date=20 December 2019}} That match took place on 12 November and saw Storm retain the title; this was the first title match under the new NWA regime headed by Billy Corgan.{{cite web|url=https://www.pwtorch.com/site/2017/11/12/nwa-world-hvt-title-results-results-wkellers-analysis-tim-storm-defends-nwa-world-hvt-title-nick-aldis-hollywood-calif/|title=NWA World Hvt.

Now working as a solidly "tweener" character, Aldis' primary angle was that of a traveling champion who actively accepts all challengers in a bid to raise the profile of the title and bring back some of its lost prestige. His first major story as champion was known as "The Aldis Crusade," a self-imposed mission to undertake twenty title defences over the course of sixty days across three continents in the spring of 2018, concluding with a title defence against Colt Cabana in Wenzhou, China. That summer, Billy Corgan made an announcement at the All In press conference, naming Cody Rhodes as the new challenger for the title at the 1 September event. To promote the match, Aldis wrestled two matches in Ring of Honor: on 24 May 2018 he and Mark Haskins were defeated by The Young Bucks, and at Honor For All, Aldis would successfully retained the NWA World Championship against Flip Gordon. On 1 September 2018, Aldis lost the title to Cody at All In.{{cite web|url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2792041-cody-rhodes-beats-nick-aldis-wins-nwa-worlds-heavyweight-title-at-all-in|title=Cody Rhodes Beats Nick Aldis, Wins NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title at All In|last=Chiara|first=Mike|date=1 September 2018|website=Bleacher Report}}

On 21 October 2018, at the NWA 70th Anniversary Show, Nick Aldis beat Cody to regain the NWA World's Heavyweight Championship. On 24 November, Aldis successfully defended the title against Jake Hager at WrestleCade: SuperShow.{{cite web |last1=Haulotte |first1=Kellie |title=WrestleCade SuperShow Results: Nick Aldis Defends NWA Title Against Former WWE Star |url=https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2018/11/wrestlecade-supershow-results-648190/ |website=wrestlinginc.com |publisher=Wrestling Inc. |access-date=26 November 2018|date=25 November 2018 }} Other challengers have included Cowboy James Storm, Jimmy Havoc, Leland Race (son of Harley), and Marty Scurll. Aldis retained the title throughout 2019, leading into the October debut of the weekly Powerrr studio streaming show, which he headlined as champion and on the first episode of which retained the title against Tim Storm. At Into The Fire, Aldis successfully defended the title against James Storm in a 2-out-of-3 Falls match.{{cite web|last=MacDonald|first=Josiah|date=14 December 2019|title=NWA Into the Fire Live results: Nick Aldis vs. James Storm|url=https://www.f4wonline.com/other-wrestling/nwa-fire-live-results-nick-aldis-vs-james-storm-299526|access-date=14 December 2019|work=Wrestling Observer Newsletter}} On the next episode of Powerrr on 17 December, Aldis turned full heel when he aligned with The Wild Cards (Thomas Latimer and Royce Isaacs) and led an attack on Tim Storm.{{cite web|last=Pollock|first=John|date=18 December 2019|title=NWA Power Report: Episode 10 "The Villain Effect"|url=https://www.postwrestling.com/2019/12/17/nwa-power-report-ep-10-the-villain-effect/|access-date=3 September 2021|website=POST Wrestling|language=en-US}} Kamille looked to have come to Storm's aid but would instead join the beatdown and aligned with the three men. This foursome would go on to be called Strictly Business.

Shortly after forming the new faction, Aldis retained the title against Ricky Morton on Powerrr and Villain Enterprises' Flip Gordon at Hard Times, which set up a title defense for Aldis against Gordon's teammate Marty Scurll at Crockett Cup, a rematch between the two from the previous year's Crockett Cup. In preparation for the title match, Aldis appeared at ROH's Free Enterprise, where he teamed with Rush against Scurll and PCO in a losing effort. Crockett Cup was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the rematch never came to fruition due to Scurll leaving ROH amid allegations of the Speaking Out movement. NWA did not hold any events throughout 2020 but Aldis defended the title on a few occasions during the fall of the year.

NWA resumed hosting events with Back For The Attack on 21 March 2021, where Aldis retained the title against Aron Stevens in the main event. In the weeks following the event, the recently debuted Chris Adonis joined Strictly Business as its newest member. The group immediately began feuding with Trevor Murdoch, who won a battle royal to face Aldis for the title at When Our Shadows Fall, where Aldis retained the title after Murdoch got disqualified. Aldis retained the title against Murdoch in a rematch at T-Mart Promotions event The Gathering II on 24 July. However, Murdoch earned another opportunity against Aldis after his team won the Champions Series on Powerrr. The subsequent Title vs Career match for Aldis' championship and Murdoch's career match took place at the NWA 73rd Anniversary Show, where Aldis lost the NWA World's Heavyweight Championship to Murdoch, ending his reign at 1,043 days.

On 6 November 2022, Aldis announced on his Instagram for his subscribers that he requested a release from NWA.{{cite web|first=Mike|last=Johnson|title=NICK ALDIS LEAVING NWA|url=https://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.php?id=164789|work=PWInsider|date=November 6, 2022|access-date=November 11, 2022}} As Aldis was publicly critical about the direction of the company, he was later suspended by NWA.{{cite web|first=Eric|last=Mutter|title=Nick Aldis Suspended By The NWA|url=https://www.wrestlinginc.com/1089842/nick-aldis-suspended-by-the-nwa/|work=Wrestling Inc.|date=November 7, 2022|access-date=November 11, 2022}} Aldis pointed the new direction of the promotion as the reason to leave NWA.

While still employed by the NWA, Aldis returned to Impact Wrestling on 1 April 2022 for the Multiverse of Matches event, teaming with Mickie James to compete against Matt Cardona and Chelsea Green.{{cite web | url=http://www.profightdb.com/cards/impact-wrestling/multiverse-of-matches---impact-922-taping-42859.html | title=Impact Wrestling Multiverse of Matches - Impact #922 Taping at Fairmont Hotel wrestling results - Internet Wrestling Database }} He also appeared at Slammiversary 2022 on 19 June 2022.{{cite web | url=https://411mania.com/wrestling/nick-aldis-joins-impact-originals-against-honor-no-more-at-slammiversary-2022/ | title=411Mania }}
