There has been a major update on the WWE future of Nick Aldis following his match at SummerSlam 2026 night one against GUNTHER.
In what was Aldis’ first ever match in WWE, GUNTHER emerged victorious despite a strong showing from Aldis that drew multiple “you’ve still got it” chants from the crowd.
The former TNA and NWA World Heavyweight Champion had been WWE SmackDown General Manager for the past three years, but gave up that role temporarily to have the match tonight.
During the official SummerSlam post-show, Nick Aldis was shown being approached by Triple H, which led to confirmation of what Aldis’ future holds.
Aldis handed a letter of resignation to Triple H, stepping down from the SmackDown General Manager position after losing tonight.
However, HHH’s response was to tear up the letter and officially reinstate Aldis to the GM position, so it looks like he won’t be returning to the ring full-time and he’ll be back to that role going forward.
