Nick Aldis might bar top stars from SmackDown after potential brawl

SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis faces a challenging situation tonight as tensions between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens could reach a breaking point. The two competitors, scheduled to clash for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event, might force Aldis to take drastic measures if their rivalry escalates backstage.

Reports suggest Owens could initiate a parking lot confrontation with Rhodes before their upcoming title match. The situation might spiral into a chaotic brawl involving backstage equipment and requiring security intervention to restore order.

If such events unfold, Aldis might implement immediate sanctions by barring both superstars from SmackDown until their championship encounter. Sources indicate the General Manager could threaten to cancel their Uniondale match entirely if either competitor defies his authority.

The potential backstage clash adds complexity to tonight’s SmackDown, which already aims to address fallout from Survivor Series: WarGames. Aldis, who has maintained strict control over the blue brand, faces the challenge of preventing his marquee championship match from derailing due to premature confrontations.
