Nick Aldis might drop some big news on SmackDown tonight to keep the excitement rolling after a successful Saturday Night’s Main Event. He could address the rising tension between Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes after all the drama that unfolded over the weekend.
Aldis might introduce a fresh title contender or book a match with a thrilling stipulation. Plus, he could drop a major announcement regarding Owens.
Here are three things The Smackdown GM could do tonight:
#3. Nick Aldis could take the Winged Eagle title belt away from Kevin Owens and fire him
The SmackDown GM might take away the Winged Eagle belt from Kevin Owens and give him the boot from the Blue Brand.
The Prizefighter left everyone stunned at Saturday Night’s Main Event when he attacked The American Nightmare after failing to win the former's title. Once the match was over, the 24-year veteran went on a vicious assault against the Undisputed WWE Champion, causing some serious damage. He later bailed with the Winged Eagle title.
KO has always been unpredictable, but his recent moves might have crossed the line. As the General Manager of SmackDown, Aldis needs to keep things in check, and Owens’ behavior has stirred up trouble. Tonight, Aldis might call out Owens for being a liability to the Blue Brand. He could then take away the championship he snatched, and possibly fire him to make a statement to the rest of the roster.

Since her return to WWE in January 2023, Chelsea Green has been seen as one of the most captivating stars on the roster. She played her character so well that fans started pushing for a title run for the veteran.
At WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, the 33-year-old solidified her ascent by taking down Michin and becoming the first-ever Women’s United States Champion. Her victory could be a reward for her hard work and ability to connect with the WWE Universe.
To make her reign more compelling, Nick Aldis could announce that Green needs to defend her title regularly to show that she's a legit champion. He could also drop the news that her first title defense is happening next week against an opponent of his choosing.
#3. He could announce a WWE Tag Team Title rematch
In just two weeks after stepping into the WWE ring, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin of The Motor City Machine Guns stunned everyone by taking down The Bloodline to snag the WWE Tag Team Championships. They also pulled off an epic win against DIY in a dream match that delivered.
Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa then turned heel and snatched the titles back in a fiery rematch, kicking off an intense rivalry between two of the top tag teams on the roster.
Nick Aldis might reveal on SmackDown that DIY will defend their titles next week in an exciting tornado tag match. With Shelley, Sabin, Gargano, and Ciampa involved, fans can expect a showcase featuring some of the most talented and creative wrestlers in the industry, making this rivalry full of unpredictable twists and turns.
