5 WWE SmackDown stars Nick Aldis could get rid of

WWE SmackDown is filled with several talented individuals, but Nick Aldis is the prime witness that everything comes with a price. Although most are top stars, their position has caused some of them to become a problem for the rest of the roster.

2024 saw major shifts in both WWE SmackDown and RAW, especially in their roster following the brand Draft. More changes are expected to occur as the new year begins, especially with the announced Transfer Window for all three brands. With this in mind, the window can be Nick Aldis' way of eliminating some of his problems on the Friday show.

For this list, we will look at five superstars Nick Aldis can remove on WWE SmackDown.

#5. and #4. A-Town Down Under and Nick Aldis didn't get along much

One of the strongest qualities Nick possesses as a General Manager is his firm decision-making. He could make matches happen, implement stricter rules, and even cancel segments like The Grayson Waller Effect.

Although they aren't always clashing paths and A-Town Down Under is not on top of Nick's worries, knowing that they can still affect his sanity can be enough reason for Aldis to remove them from the brand.

#3. Nick Aldis admitted to avoiding Carmelo Hayes recently

Carmelo Hayes has been very persistent recently to continue proving himself on WWE SmackDown and get back onto the United States Championship picture. However, that means Nick has to listen to Melo's pitches and speeches on the Friday show, which Aldis revealed he has been avoiding.

Although Melo is occupied right now given his Braun Strowman situation, that doesn't mean he won't do it again once it clears up. Due to this, the General Manager can consider getting rid of Hayes.

#2. Kevin Owens has been a major problem on WWE SmackDown

In just a month, Kevin Owens managed to take down two top superstars of WWE SmackDown: Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes. To top it off, The Prizefighter even stole The American Nightmare's Winged Eagle Championship and is acting as if he's the champion.

With just these actions alone, it would be no surprise if Nick decides to get rid of Kevin from the brand. Although Owens brings in a lot of fans and attention to the brand, Aldis may not want to risk the safety of his superstars.

#1. Nick Aldis can do something to somewhat keep Chelsea Green in check

Chelsea Green is possibly the biggest headache for the General Managers of both RAW and SmackDown. Since she won the Women's United States Championship, it's unlikely that Nick will be able to transfer her that easily. However, he can think outside the box and transfer someone close to her instead.

Adam Pearce and Nick don't just have to handle Green, but also her partner Piper Niven. However, the managers can decide that it might be easier to control both women separately instead of putting them together.
