WWE analyst Sam Roberts has picked up on some intriguing hints from SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis, suggesting that the British superstar is eager to step into the ring with Cody Rhodes, the current Undisputed WWE Champion. According to Roberts, Aldis dropped three subtle “breadcrumbs” indicating his desire to face The American Nightmare once again.
Two of these hints were dropped on SmackDown, with the most recent one coming when Aldis introduced Rhodes before announcing his title defense against Logan Paul at King and Queen of the Ring. The encounter sparked speculation about a potential showdown between the two, given their past history in the NWA. The pair have squared off twice before, with each claiming a victory over the other.
Roberts also pointed to Aldis’s social media activity, where he posted a photo with Rhodes from the show, captioning it “The North Remembers.” This has been interpreted as another hint that Aldis is eager to face Rhodes in the ring once more. The 37-year-old has not wrestled since joining WWE last year, and his last match was at an ACW event in October.
Aldis’s successful career as an in-ring competitor in promotions such as TNA and NWA, where he held multiple world championships, suggests that he still has a lot to offer in the ring. His role as SmackDown General Manager has seen him take a step back from active competition, but it seems that he may be itching to get back into the fray.
A potential match between Aldis and Rhodes would be a highly anticipated encounter, given their history and the prestige of the Undisputed WWE Championship on the line. With Aldis’s hints and Roberts’s analysis, the WWE universe is now abuzz with speculation about a potential showdown between these two wrestling veterans.
With the question on everyone’s lips – would you like to see Nick Aldis challenge Cody Rhodes? – the anticipation is building for what could be an epic battle for the ages.
