WWE reportedly canceled a segment involving Nick Aldis previously for SmackDown. The company recently wrapped up its tour of Europe on The Road to WrestleMania 41.

During a recent episode of Live Q&A on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, WrestleVotes said a recent SmackDown taping in Italy was supposed to feature a segment between Andrade and Nick Aldis, which got scrapped.

"Don't know for sure but I can go back to the SmackDown three weeks ago tomorrow night, the one from Italy, written in the show before the Liv Morgan-Jade Cargill match, there was to be a backstage segment with Nick Aldis telling Andrade that there are new talent coming to SmackDown and he would want him to work with them first."

He continued:

"That segment got cut. It was not supposed to be on last week's show, so I don't know where it stands. However, that would indicate to me that, at least, they had plans at the minimum for Andrade versus Rey Fenix. We'll see if that happens." [From 15:37 onwards]

Earlier on the podcast, Bill Apter said Grayson Waller could possibly be Rey Fenix's opponent on the upcoming episode of SmackDown. It remains to be seen if Apter's prediction turns out to be true.

Manik Aftab writes Exclusive articles for Sportskeeda Wrestling’s WWE division. A BA (Hons) in English Literature helped him improve his writing skills before starting his career as a pro wrestling writer.

Before joining Sportskeeda, Aftab worked for Ringside News and The Sportster, where his wrestling articles and feature pieces consistently ranked on the first page of Google SERPs.

He prioritizes accuracy, relevance, and ethics in his reporting by conducting thorough research, verifying sources, and adhering to professional journalistic standards.

While Aftab’s favorite wrestler in AEW is Hangman Adam Page, he doesn’t have a favorite in WWE yet. However, he considers Stone Cold Steve Austin to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. His earliest memory of watching pro wrestling was when The Rock faced The New Age Outlaws in a handicap match, but it was the John Cena vs. Edge match from Unforgiven 2006 that got him hooked. If given the chance to manage a star from the Attitude Era, he would choose The British Bulldog, as he believes Davey Boy Smith was a terrific worker and could've benefitted from having a mouthpiece for his lack of mic skills.

When not watching pro wrestling, Aftab enjoys reading science fiction and watching anime.
