WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis has been dealing with escalating tensions on the blue brand, and it seems he may now be forced to take disciplinary action against former Universal Champion Kevin Owens. After a series of unprovoked attacks on fellow WWE superstars, including Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes, Owens is facing the wrath of the SmackDown GM.
Owens’ Attacks Force Aldis’ Hand
The conflict began after the WWE Bad Blood event, where Kevin Owens viciously attacked Cody Rhodes.
This altercation spiralled further during an unscheduled appearance by Owens on SmackDown, despite being under suspension.
The situation escalated when Randy Orton tried to intervene, only to be blindsided by Owens in a backstage brawl.
Nick Aldis, who has taken over as SmackDown GM from Adam Pearce, has been facing a chaotic situation similar to his predecessor.
Owens’ recent actions, including his assault on two top-tier stars, have left Aldis with little choice but to impose consequences.
Owens’ backstage attack on Randy Orton was particularly brutal, requiring medical attention for Orton after the altercation.
Aldis is now left with several disciplinary options. While Owens may face suspension, a hefty fine could also be in the cards to curb his aggressive behaviour.
With top superstars like Orton and Rhodes injured, Aldis’ priority appears to be restoring order and ensuring such incidents do not repeat.
End of Owens and Orton’s Partnership
The recent altercation may also mark the end of Kevin Owens and Randy Orton’s tag team partnership.
Owens’ attack on Orton has made it clear that their alliance is on shaky ground, and fans will have to wait to see how the situation unfolds.
As tensions rise, all eyes will be on SmackDown to see how Aldis handles the situation and whether this will bring an end to Kevin Owens’ rebellious streak or fuel further conflict.
