"Your move, Nick" - WWE SmackDown star sends threatening message to Nick Aldis
A WWE Superstar has delivered a threatening message to SmackDown GM Nick Aldis ahead of tonight's show.
Triple H named Nick Aldis the new SmackDown GM last year, and the former NWA Champion has already shown leadership on the blue brand. Last week, Randy Orton, AJ Styles, and LA Knight competed in a Triple Threat match on the New Year's Revolution edition of SmackDown.
The winner of the match was supposed to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Royal Rumble, but The Bloodline interfered to end the match via disqualification. SmackDown GM Nick Aldis approached Paul Heyman after The Bloodline interfered and informed The Wiseman that Roman Reigns would now be defending the title in a Fatal 4-Way at the Royal Rumble on January 27.
Zelina Vega has been causing a bit of a scene on social media as of late by wondering why she has not been given another title shot. The LWO member battled Damage CTRL's Iyo Sky for the WWE Women's Championship on the August 25, 2023 episode of SmackDown but came up short.
She took to social media today to share screenshots of Adam Pearce and USA Network recruiting her to RAW and delivered a threatening message to Nick Aldis.
"Your move, Nick," she wrote.
Nick Aldis responds to Zelina Vega's request for a title match on WWE SmackDown
Nick Aldis responded to Zelina Vega this week and disclosed that the 33-year-old will have to earn her next title match.
Speaking on this week's episode of WWE's The Bump, Aldis reacted to a question sent in by Vega asking when her next title opportunity will be. The 37-year-old stated that Vega will have to prove she is worthy of getting another championship match moving forward on the blue brand.
"When did Zelina Vega start speaking in the third person? That would be the immediate response to that question. Look, Zelina is doing very well. But we just saw Michin for example have an amazing showing against Iyo Sky. The competition at the top level, the air is thin the higher up you get. So, I think that Zelina is going to have to prove to me and to the WWE Universe that she is worthy of a title shot, but it is certainly it is not something I am against if she can earn it the right way," said Nick Aldis.

Zelina Vega is currently a part of the Latino World Order faction, and her stablemates will be in action in a tag team match against Humberto Carrillo and Angel Garza. Only time will tell if the inaugural Queen's Crown tournament winner will get another shot at gold any time soon.
