Tension between General Managers escalated after Adam Pearce addressed Nick Aldis regarding Solo Sikoa’s faction’s repeated appearances on RAW. The conflict intensified following a parking lot brawl between Seth Rollins and Bronson Reed.
Pearce sent a direct message to Aldis, requesting better control over SmackDown’s roster. This confrontation could mark a shift in Aldis’s character, who has maintained a neutral stance since joining WWE as General Manager.
The situation may lead to Pearce appearing on SmackDown to address these ongoing issues directly. Sources suggest Aldis’s potential refusal to discipline Bloodline 2.0 might stem from protection by higher authorities, possibly including TKO board member The Rock.
While Pearce’s in-ring return remains unlikely, the growing tension between the General Managers could set up a Team Aldis versus Team Pearce match at Survivor Series WarGames. This development would revive the RAW versus SmackDown rivalry within the WarGames format.
The storyline’s progression hinges on events following Crown Jewel 2024, with potential for increased interactions between both General Managers as WWE builds toward Survivor Series.
