Ex-WWE champion demands Nick Aldis pay $50,000 for major damage on SmackDown

A top WWE Superstar blamed SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis for damage caused during a segment on the show. He issued a stern warning, stating that the GM was responsible and had to pay bills worth $50,000.

Braun Strowman appeared on the Grayson Waller Effect on the December 20 installment of the blue brand. Waller was accompanied by his tag team partner Austin Theory in the ring. Carmelo Hayes interrupted the segment and verbally attacked The Monster Among Men. The situation escalated when Strowman became enraged and proceeded to demolish the set created for the segment.

On X (formerly Twitter), Grayson Waller shared an invoice addressing the SmackDown GM and demanded reimbursement for damages to his talk show set. The former WWE Tag Team Champion claimed Nick Aldis was responsible for the vandalism, which totaled $50,000 and included items such as two lighted LED palm trees, a custom carpet, a quantity of emotional pain and distress, and six custom light fittings. The 34-year-old WWE star also mentioned that Aldis should make the payment before the RAW Netflix premiere on January 6, 2025.

"Hey @RealNickAldis, Since you’ve failed to respond to private messages, guess I have to do this publicly. New transfer portal opens and your approval rating backstage is at an all time low- not a great mix 🤔," he wrote.

Grayson Waller wants to face former WWE World Champion

The Aussie Icon recently stated his desire to face CM Punk in the ring. During an interview with Wide World of Sports, Grayson Waller explained his reasons for wanting to confront The Second City Saint.

The former WWE Tag Team Champion mentioned that he would like to inflict karma on CM Punk for his perceived past transgressions and to prove himself against a wrestler he deeply respects.

"Either way, I want to test myself against CM Punk and I want to be what he used to be. He finally deserves some karma - remember how he used to act? I want to know how it feels when you get someone on the other side of you," Waller said.

It remains to be seen if fans will witness a Punk vs. Waller match in the future. On the other hand, only time will tell if Nick Aldis pays off $50,000 to the A-Town Down Under member for what happened with the Grayson Waller Effect set.
