SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis will be busy this Friday on SmackDown after what happened at Bad Blood. Roman Reigns, Jimmy Uso, and Cody Rhodes will show up on the blue brand, but it is unclear what Kevin Owens will do after his heel turn and assault on the Undisputed WWE Champion at Bad Blood.
Meanwhile, Nick Aldis hinted at The Rock showing up on SmackDown after his return at Bad Blood, where he stared both The Original Tribal Chief and The American Nightmare.
"And unless you’re living under a rock," Nick Aldis said in a video while doing the Final Boss' eyebrow raise, teasing the WWE legend's return on the October 11 episode of SmackDown.
The Rock can have a face-off with Roman Reigns
With The Rock back as a heel, it is a no-brainer that he will target Roman Reigns, who returned as a babyface at SummerSlam. As Reigns is set to appear on SmackDown, The Rock's presence in the show could mean the two megastars will have a face-off, which could provide more details on what is next heading into the Survivor Series: WarGames Premium Live Event.
If The Rock works Survivor Series, Nick Aldis could make him the captain of The Bloodline 2.0 against Team Roman.
He could take over The Bloodline, forcing Solo Sikoa to take a step back
There is speculation that The Rock was the mastermind behind The Bloodline 2.0, and now that he is back, he will take over the faction, forcing Solo Sikoa to step back.
Sikoa called The Final Boss' return at Bad Blood as 'part of the plan' so he could step aside and return to his Enforcer role as he did with Roman Reigns.
Nick Aldis could set the stage for a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania 41
As we said, Nick Aldis hinted at The Rock appearing on SmackDown this Friday. If this happens, he could set the tone for a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania 41, where The Great One would face Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes.
Upon his return, he stared at both The Original Tribal Chief and The American Nightmare, meaning that a match at 'Mania could be the next step in the rivalry.
On this occasion, WWE will not ruin The Final Boss' chances of future one-on-one matches against the two top faces in WWE.
