Nick Aldis Injured & Expected To Undergo Surgery
Nick Aldis has reportedly been injured and the WrestleMania status for WWE's heralded SmackDown GM is currently unknown.
Aldis is expected to soon undergo surgery on his arm, according to PWInsider. The exact nature of the injury is unclear, but multiple sources have confirmed that surgery is imminent.
Hopefully this situation doesn't keep him off WWE programming for too long. WrestleMania 40 would be Aldis' first appearance on the "grandest stage of them all," a moment that has been a long time coming for the former NWA Champion.
Aldis first showed up on WWE television back in October 2023 where Triple H revealed him as the new general manager of SmackDown. The tendency for most on-air authorities in the past would be to have them act as a corrupted heel, but both Aldis and WWE Raw GM Adam Pearce have brought legitimacy and reason back to the roles.
Before becoming an on-air persona once again, Aldis worked months as a WWE producer backstage and fans were understandably curious as to when Aldis could put the boots back on and grapple up. This thought was especially prevailent in his initial debut, considering he has a strong rivalry with Cody Rhodes. However, with this reported injury, the former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion won't be getting physical anytime soon.
