The recent season premiere episode of WWE’s SmackDown brought a flurry of exciting developments, none more significant than the debut of Nick Aldis as the new General Manager of the blue brand. According to insiders, WWE initially considered other candidates for the role, but Aldis’ name ultimately stuck. Despite not initially being considered for an on-screen role, Aldis was suggested as a potential authority figure, and Paul Levesque ultimately gave the idea the green light.
Aldis’ introduction marked a pivotal moment in the show’s history, as he announced that Kevin Owens had been traded from RAW to SmackDown in exchange for Jey Uso. This development was expected, as News had previously reported that the plan was always for Owens to make the move to SmackDown. Additionally, Aldis booked a WWE Women’s Title match for next week, pitting Charlotte Flair against IYO Sky. Aldis also expressed his belief that Charlotte should have won the title at Fastlane, hinting at potential controversy and drama in his tenure as General Manager.
