WWE star to announce his retirement & replace Nick Aldis as new SmackDown General Manager? Potential booking explored
Nick Aldis is the current SmackDown General Manager, but some fans felt that on the latest episode of the blue brand, WWE dropped hints about his potential in-ring debut. Since then, many have been eager to see the National Treasure compete in the squared circle in WWE. It further boosts the query of who could replace Aldis as SmackDown GM if he transitions back to wrestling.
Amid this speculation, there is a belief signifying that Big E could soon confirm his retirement from in-ring competition and take over as the new SmackDown General Manager. The New Day member has been absent from the ring since March 2022 due to a serious injury, with no clear timeline for his return to action.
Given the uncertainty encircling his in-ring comeback, WWE might use this prospect to bring Big E back to television in a non-wrestling capacity. A conceivable scenario could see Big E returning to declare his retirement, citing his ongoing injury issues. Following this, WWE could officially appoint him as the new SmackDown GM, replacing Nick Aldis.
This move would allow WWE to capitalize on Big E’s popularity and charisma without risking his health in the ring. Meanwhile, it would clear the path for Nick Aldis to make his in-ring debut, an exciting prospect for fans. In the coming months, it will be interesting to see how this storyline unfolds. Big E is already anticipated to appear on WWE RAW as The New Day approaches its 10th anniversary.
With tensions brewing between Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, the New Day member might also play a pivotal role in reconciling his teammates before potentially stepping into a new chapter as SmackDown GM.
When Nick Aldis is expected to make his in-ring debut in WWE?
With some hints already dropped about Nick Aldis’ in-ring debut in WWE, fans are guessing when the National Treasure might finally step back into the squared circle. One of the most perfect scenarios for his debut could be the Royal Rumble 2025.
Next year’s Royal Rumble Premium Live Event is set to take place on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The Men's Royal Rumble Match is well-known for its shock entrants and stunning returns. This makes it a perfect stage for Nick Aldis to make his highly anticipated in-ring debut.
Following his Royal Rumble appearance, WWE could set up a compelling feud for Aldis in the lead-up to WrestleMania 41. This would allow the company to integrate him into a high-profile storyline on the Road to WrestleMania 41.
