Nick Aldis has suffered a torn bicep.
As reported by PWInsider, the SmackDown General Manager underwent surgery for the injury on March 20th. Aldis is not expected to miss any scheduled TV appearances due to the injury. Not involved in any physicality on WWE TV, it is unknown what caused the injury to Aldis.
The British wrestler debuted on WWE TV in October 2023 and was officially named the General Manager of SmackDown by Triple H, giving Adam Pearce full control of Monday Night Raw in the process. Standing up to the top stars of the division including Roman Reigns, many have welcomed Aldis’ approach to managing the brand.
Prior to joining WWE, Aldis found success in the NWA and TNA, winning the top title in each promotion.
Nick Aldis Comments On WWE Debut
Compared to previous introductions of authority figures in the past, many found Aldis’ entrance more low-key. With no entrance music or video, Aldis was simply announced and made his way into the ring. Speaking with Inside The Ropes about the debut, the SmackDown General Manager explained why his entrance was booked this way:
“Hunter and I discussed it at length, and Paul was very honest about it. He goes, “Look, I know there is no ideal way to do this, we just feel like this is the best way, music and entrance doesn’t make any sense.” Because most of the WWE audience were not familiar with me. They are now, but at the time, it’s very out of the blue, and I’m using my real name.
I think Hunter looked at it as, like, let’s rip the band-aid off. There’s no easy way to do this that’s not going to be a little bit awkward. So let’s get it out of the way. And then he just said, “I’m going to give you the mic right away, and you’ll get over. Once you talk you’ll be okay.” And that’s how I felt about it. I was like, the sooner I can get in the ring and forget that part the better, just give me the mic.”
Features of Wrestling would like to wish Nick Aldis a full and speedy recovery.
