Nick Aldis sparks speculation with Triple H photo
SmackDown GM Nick Aldis shares intriguing photo with Triple H amid speculation of potential match with RAW GM Adam Pearce. Plus, Aldis discusses transition from wrestler to authority figure.
SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis has fueled speculation about his future role in WWE after sharing a photo with Triple H from the February 9 SmackDown episode in Charlotte. The image, posted on Instagram, shows both men in the ring during the episode where Triple H addressed the WrestleMania XL Kickoff controversy.
Aldis, who joined WWE in August 2023 as a producer before being promoted to SmackDown GM, included several hashtags with the post: “#hhh #tripleh #paullevesque #nickaldis #wwe #smackdown #usanetwork.”
The timing of this post comes amid rumors of a potential GM versus GM match between Aldis and RAW General Manager Adam Pearce. Both former NWA World Heavyweight Champions followed similar paths to their current roles, with Pearce starting as a WWE official in January 2020 before his promotion to RAW GM.
Nick Aldis discusses transition from wrestler to authority figure
During a recent appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Aldis reflected on his journey from in-ring competitor to authority figure. The former NWA and TNA World Champion noted the distinct difference between WWE and independent wrestling audiences, particularly regarding recognition of his wrestling background.
“I see it more as a sort of maybe not a full-time wrestler, but I don’t know,” Aldis explained. “If and when the time comes it’ll be what they want, and it will hopefully be the right time. I just told them that if you want to do that, I’m ready.”
Aldis also revealed an unplanned moment from his early GM tenure, when Randy Orton unexpectedly delivered an RKO to him after signing with SmackDown. “I’ve never gotten to the bottom of who was behind it,” Aldis admitted, highlighting his readiness to adapt to unexpected physical moments in his role.
