NEW DELHI: SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis finds himself facing a decision of significant consequence, contemplating the suspension of Kevin Owens following a brutal attack on social media megastar Logan Paul.
Ever since assuming the role of SmackDown's general manager, Aldis has wielded his authority with confidence, unafraid to assert control even over the blue brand's biggest stars. The latest incident at the Royal Rumble, where Owens viciously assaulted Paul after their United States Championship match, has put Aldis in a challenging position.
The match between Owens and Paul ended in disqualification, with the aftermath leaving Logan Paul potentially injured. With Paul's social media influence, there's speculation that he may leverage his connections to prompt Aldis into taking action against Owens, potentially leading to a suspension that could write off the former US Champion for a few weeks.
Considering Owens reportedly worked through the match with a fractured foot, a period of rest might be necessary, further justifying the possibility of a suspension storyline. This development could also delay Owens' anticipated rematch for the United States Championship.
The storyline has the potential to evolve into a full-blown rivalry between Kevin Owens and Nick Aldis. Their history dates back a few months, as Aldis had previously suspended the nine-time WWE champion. Aldis signed Owens to the blue brand shortly after assuming the role of general manager, inadvertently breaking up Owens' tag team with Sami Zayn. While tension hasn't surfaced due to this incident, WWE could utilize these plot points as devices to fuel a compelling and intense feud between the two.
