Ever since assuming the role of SmackDown’s general manager, Nick Aldis has projected confidence and authority, maintaining fairness while fearlessly addressing issues involving the blue brand’s top talents.
Aldis may even consider taking disciplinary action against one of these stars following the events at the Royal Rumble. Kevin Owens’ aggressive attack on Logan Paul after their United States Championship match ended in disqualification could potentially leave the social media icon in a precarious situation.
Given Paul’s influential presence, there’s a possibility that he might advocate for Nick Aldis to penalize Owens for his recent actions, resulting in a temporary absence from SmackDown and postponing his anticipated rematch for the US title. Considering Owens reportedly competed in the match with a fractured foot, a break from action could be necessary.
Moreover, this situation might escalate into a full-fledged rivalry between Kevin Owens and Nick Aldis, given their past interactions. The two have a history dating back several months, with Aldis previously suspending the nine-time WWE champion.
Owens joined SmackDown under Aldis’ tenure as general manager, inadvertently causing the dissolution of his tag team with Sami Zayn. While there hasn’t been noticeable tension between them, WWE could utilize these past incidents and the recent suspensions as catalysts for a potential feud.
