Nick Aldis to make his WWE in-ring debut alongside former world champion on SmackDown? Exploring potential twist
The upcoming edition of SmackDown will be the Season Premiere, as the blue brand is set to make its highly anticipated debut on USA Network. Therefore, WWE may have some massive surprises in store for tonight, and one of those could be Nick Aldis' highly anticipated in-ring return. The 37-year-old could make his WWE in-ring debut alongside a former world champion on the show.
The former champion in question is Kevin Owens. The former Universal Champion would compete in a tag team match against A-Town Down Under on SmackDown. While fans have been speculating his mystery partner to be a returning star like Randy Orton or AJ Styles, WWE could pull off a massive swerve. In a stunning twist, Nick Aldis could reveal himself as Owens' tag team partner tonight.
A major reason it could happen is that Grayson Waller disrespected the General Manager last week by calling him an 'idiot' after the end of his conversation. Moreover, he and Austin Theory have been getting on Aldis' nerves for quite some time. Hence, the 37-year-old may have become quite sick of A-Town Down Under and could decide to teach them a lesson.
Moreover, the Season Premiere of SmackDown demands massive surprises and shockers. Nick Aldis coming out of his authoritarian role to compete in a match alongside Kevin Owens would be a jaw-dropping moment for the fans, which will generate an unfathomable buzz. Hence Aldis has a good reason to team up with The Prizefighter against Theory and Waller tonight.
While it would be certainly intriguing if the SmackDown General Manager returns to in-ring action, the prospect of it happening on the show tonight is relatively low.
SmackDown GM Nick Aldis talked about his potential in-ring return
Ever since making his debut in WWE, Nick Aldis has been in an authoritarian role. However, a lot of fans have been clamoring to see him competing in the squared circle in the Stamford-based promotion. While speaking with Mail Sport's Alex McCarthy, Aldis shed light on his in-ring comeback.
The 37-year-old said that he appreciates the longing of the fans to see him in action and is quite grateful to them. The WWE official also asserted that he would certainly cross the bridge when he came to it, implying that he is willing to wrestle if the situation ever arises.
However, Nick Aldis stated that he was currently committed to his role as the SmackDown General Manager and is on a quest to become one of the best general managers in WWE. Therefore, it is no wonder why the blue brand under Aldis's leadership has been on the rise lately.
It will be interesting to see when the 37-year-old makes his in-ring debut in WWE. Will it happen tonight on SmackDown's Season Premiere? Only time will tell.
