Nick Aldis has shared an update on his ring gear and presentation at WWE SummerSlam 2026.
For the first time since debuting on WWE TV as SmackDown General Manager back in October 2023, Nick Aldis will be stepping into a WWE ring to compete at Night One of SummerSlam 2026, as he goes one-on-one with ‘The Ring General’ GUNTHER.
With Aldis not competing inside a wrestling ring in three years, and never once being treated as a WWE superstar, one of the burning questions heading into this weekend is in regards to the former NWA and TNA World Champion’s entrance and ring gear.
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Aldis shared an “exclusive” piece of news regarding his presentation at SummerSlam, revealing that he has asked WWE for gear reminiscent of his run as ‘The National Treasure’ in NWA.
When asked if he’s put much thought into his WWE presentation, Aldis responded:
“Yeah, of course. This is WWE. I’ve been very, very flattered and humbled by, for example, when I said like gear, attire. I want Nick Aldis: The National Treasure. So there’s a little exclusive for you because I know there’s been a lot.
“There’s been some speculation about like, is he gonna wrestle in a suit? Stupid. Can you imagine?
“But again, I understand. Like sure, when I was a kid, nothing else outside WWF meant sh*t to me. I appreciated all the height of WCW and all that after the fact. At the time, I was like 10 at the peak of WCW. To me, I was like, That’s not the WWF.”
