Nick Aldis breaks silence following "freak accident" that caused major injury

WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis has broken his silence after it was reported earlier today that he had suffered a significant injury.

PWInsider reported today that Nick Aldis had suffered an injury, and some backstage members feared it was a torn bicep. Aldis confirmed the unfortunate news today on social media. The authority figure also noted that "the sheets" had the news within minutes of it happening and suggested that it must be a slow news day.

​

"Yes, I just got out of surgery for a ruptured bicep tendon, and yes, the sheets had it within minutes. God bless 'em. Must be a slow news day...anyway it was a freak accident, I'm on the mend, and I will continue to fulfill my obligations. #SmackDown," he wrote.

Triple H introduced Nick Aldis as the new SmackDown GM last October, and the former NWA Champion has shone in the role so far. Aldis has proven that he is not afraid of Roman Reigns and will stand up to The Tribal Chief if he has to.

Aldis has done an impressive job so far in keeping SmackDown under control. It will be interesting to see how he will handle the upcoming episodes of blue brand on the Road to WrestleMania 40.
