Last week's episode of the Blue Branded show featured the debut of Ricky Saints, who ended up in a match with his friend and the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare picked up the victory in this bout, but he was then attacked by Gunther.

The Ring General made another appearance on the Friday Night show this week. This time, he was seen walking into Nick Aldis' office with Paul Heyman already there.

Aldis handed a contract to Heyman, who in turn handed it to the former World Champion. Without revealing what was on the contract, Aldis told the newest member of the SmackDown roster that what he did last week was unacceptable and hoped that it was the last time they were having a conversation like this.

Before Gunther could put the ink to paper, however, Cody Rhodes' theme song started playing on the monitor in the background, and the screen showed the arena getting ready for the WWE Champion's entrance.



This upset the former Imperium leader who believed that the moment belonged to him, and he walked out without signing the deal. The segment ended with Heyman telling Nick that he will handle the situation.
