It looks like Nick Aldis’ return to the ring is imminent
after former WWE World Heavyweight champion Gunther
viciously attacked the Smackdown General Manager last night
on Smackdown.
The main event segment of the show saw Gunther airing his
frustration over how he has been treated, especially when it
comes to the WWE title picture. Aldis made a match for
Saturday Night’s Main Event official, pitting Punk and
Rhodes against Gunther and Sami Zayn, but Gunther was not
impressed and showed the GM that he did not approve of the
decision.
Gunther attacked Aldis, choking him out in the sleeper hold.
Several WWE officials ran to the rescue but to no avail.
Gunther eventually let go of the hold, but when the credits
ran, he applied it again. At that point, Cody Rhodes
sprinted down to the ring as the show faded to black.
Aldis has been rumored to be training for another match and
it looks like we know who his opponent will be, possibly at
SummerSlam. Aldis has not wrestled since October 2023 and
has never wrestled inside a WWE ring.
