WWE boss Triple H made a huge announcement on SmackDown's 'season premiere' this Friday night - British wrestling legend Nick Aldis is the new General Manager of the blue brand.
Nick Aldis is known as the National Treasure in the National Wrestling Alliance and beyond. He is a fantastic talker, has a great look, and is a great representative for the wrestling industry. His classic throwback in-ring style also reminds many of Harley Race.
Triple H's announcement comes as a surprise, as it's been a while since either Raw or SmackDown had an on-screen GM in place. Backstage producer Adam Pearce used to be in charge of both shows as a 'WWE official'. But Pearce is now the new GM of Monday Night Raw, and Nick Aldis is the new SmackDown general manager.
Nick Aldis expressed his excitement on Twitter after the announcement. He wrote: ‘The opportunity of a lifetime. Thank you Triple H and WWE. Onwards and upwards for the blue brand! #SmackDown’
WWE fans are looking forward to seeing Nick Aldis in action. His fellow countryman and current Raw commentator Wade Barrett has said that he'd love to see Aldis in WWE, and that he has high hopes for his career.
Likewise, NJPW star Will Ospreay has expressed his admiration for Nick Aldis. He said: ‘He’s a fantastic talker, he’s got a great look, he’s a really good representative for this industry in general, and I love his classic throwback in-ring style.’
WWE SmackDown airs Friday nights at 1am on TNT Sports 1. Fans can now look forward to seeing Nick Aldis in action, so make sure to tune in!
