The upcoming edition of SmackDown is expected to be a blockbuster thriller, as WWE advertised several exciting things for the show. With the blue brand wrapped in chaos lately, Nick Aldis has a huge task in hand to deliver a great show. Regarding this, the General Manager might ban a 40-year-old star from SmackDown tonight for a major reason.
The star in question is Kevin Owens. The Prizefighter has been on a rampage lately. He wreaked havoc on Randy Orton at Crown Jewel, unleashing a merciless attack on the latter. However, that might not be the reason behind his potential suspension from the show. Nick Aldis could ban KO from tonight's SmackDown for one reason: the return of Sami Zayn on the show.
Following the recent events within The Bloodline saga, Zayn will seemingly be on the blue brand tonight. He is expected to reunite with Roman Reigns and The Usos for the resurgence of the OG Bloodline. However, this may not sit well with his long-time friend Kevin Owens. Seeing another of his close friends join forces with his bitter rival could make his blood boil.

Unable to process this, The Prizefighter could unleash his wrath on Sami Zayn in the same way that he did to Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton. Therefore, to keep the two apart, Nick Aldis could restrict Owens from showing up on SmackDown tonight. The General Manager might be well aware of what could happen if the two superstars were under the same roof.
As a result, Aldis could use his authoritarian power to impose a ban on the former Universal Champion for the upcoming edition of the blue brand. While this is an intriguing prospect, it remains mere speculation at the moment.
Nick Aldis to make a huge announcement on SmackDown regarding Kevin Owens?
Kevin Owens was supposed to compete in a one-on-one match with Randy Orton at Crown Jewel 2024. Just before the match could begin, the two superstars got involved in a wild brawl, with KO destroying The Viper. Nick Aldis could reveal the aftermath of this heinous attack on the show tonight.
In a huge announcement, Aldis could disclose that Orton suffered a potential injury at Crown Jewel due to Owens' attack. He could also state that The Apex Predator would be out of action for an unforeseeable future. This will add a new layer to their rivalry, portraying The Prizefighter as a legitimate threat.
Moreover, this would open the door for Kevin Owens to go after Cody Rhodes, who had been his primary target all this time. Both superstars could resume their rivalry on SmackDown amid Randy Orton's potential absence. It could ultimately lead to a highly anticipated match between Rhodes and Owens at the Survivor Series 2024 Premium Live Event.
There are several rumors of this match taking place at the upcoming spectacle in Vancouver, Canada. It remains to be seen what Triple H has in store for KO on SmackDown.
