Nick Aldis Poised for WWE In-Ring Return, With a Potential Major Run by 2027

WWE insiders believe Nick Aldis will return to in-ring action for the company, possibly as soon as 2027, with backstage figures noting his talent could rival or exceed many current WWE stars. Aldis was reinstated as SmackDown General Manager and wrestled Gunther at SummerSlam—the first match of his in-ring career in almost three years (since October 7, 2023)—a future plan he reportedly learned about roughly a month ahead of time.

Aldis’s SummerSlam Exit Leaves SmackDown Future in Limbo

After losing to Gunther at SummerSlam, Nick Aldis relinquished his SmackDown General Manager duties and offered his resignation. WWE chief content officer Triple H urged him to stay involved and potentially return, but Aldis would have to relinquish the role again; a post-show press conference left room for a future comeback with Paul Levesque saying you should “never say never,” leaving his long-term WWE status unclear for now.

SmackDown Struggles for Heat as SummerSlam Seeds Get Planted

SmackDown on July 24 felt short on heat despite several SummerSlam setups: Gunther’s long-running “Career Killer” gimmick is getting stale, Nick Aldis returned to set up a clash with him, and a four-way for the #1 contender to face Sami Zayn at SummerSlam (Damian Priest, Royce Williams, Finn Balor, Trick Williams) provided a clean finish. Sami Zayn’s evolving role keeps him in the title-picture orbit, while Cody Rhodes and CM Punk banter and Bloodline business anchor the show. The women’s side delivered multiple matches and Nikki Bella’s return, plus Jade Cargill/Charlotte Flair fodder, but overall the two-hour format left the card feeling busy rather than compelling, earning a D+.

GUNTHER's Nick Aldis attack could push him into a SummerSlam four-way

A week after GUNTHER attacked Nick Aldis, Raw GM Adam Pearce warned he could be fired for a similar stunt. Aldis insisted that Saturday Night’s Main Event’s tag match—GUNTHER and Sami Zayn vs. CM Punk and Cody Rhodes—go on, with high stakes: if GUNTHER and Zayn win, they’ll be added to the SummerSlam WWE Championship main event, turning it into a four-way title match for August 1–2. Rhodes then challenged GUNTHER to a singles match later tonight, signaling more developments to come.
