Ever since assuming the role of General Manager, Nick Aldis has done an incredible job on Friday Night SmackDown. The upcoming edition of the blue brand is set to be an explosive night for his brand, as several huge things have been advertised for the show. However, Aldis could be in a dilemma next week as a multi-time WWE Champion could approach him with a career-altering proposition.

The name in question is none other than AJ Styles. The Phenomenal One is set to make his highly anticipated return on the upcoming edition of SmackDown. Upon his much-awaited comeback, the 47-year-old star could have a meeting with the SmackDown General Manager. Styles could put forth a massive proposition, asking Nick Aldis to trade him to Monday Night RAW.

The former WWE Champion could still be reeling from the devasting aftermath of his "I Quit" Match against Cody Rhodes at Clash at the Castle 2024. With the embers of resentment still smoldering within him, Styles may find it difficult to dwell on the same brand his bitter rival, Rhodes, is in. Therefore, AJ Styles may request Nick Aldis to send him to WWE RAW so that the former could leave his past in hindsight.

A move to a new roster will allow The Phenomenal One to revive his career and start afresh. Moreover, it will open the doors for several engrossing storylines on the red brand. Styles, who has been on a quest for the world title, could go after Gunther's World Heavyweight Championship. It will undeniably reboot his career and give him a fresh start to look forward to.

Hence, the two-time WWE Champion could plead with Nick Aldis to trade him to the red brand, enabling him to embark on a new journey. It will be interesting to see how the landscape of the Stamford-based promotion changes upon AJ Styles' highly anticipated return.


Could WWE Superstar AJ Styles pitch Nick Aldis an idea for his retirement?

There have been several rumors and speculation around AJ Styles' retirement of late. It recently caught fire in light of the recent reports, which stated that his current contract with WWE is set to expire soon, either by the end of this year or early 2025. Hence, Styles could possibly be heading towards the last chapter of his professional wrestling career.

The Phenomenal One, who is set to return next week on SmackDown, could pitch a major idea to Nick Aldis in regards to his retirement. He could announce that his pro wrestling career is nearing its end and might express his desire to embark on a farewell tour in WWE.

Therefore, the former WWE Champion could ask Aldis to sketch a roadmap for his potential retirement. The 47-year-old star could poignantly state that age has started to take a toll on his body, and it would be the best option for him to hang up his boots and wrap up his wrestling career.

Hence, AJ Styles could request Nick Aldis to do the needful and give him the best opponents in his potential final run before he retires. While this is just speculation, it has a good possibility of happening.
