Nick Aldis is the current SmackDown General Manager and has impressed fans with his authoritative role each week. Aldis has established himself as a firm figure, never hesitating to suspend or fine superstars in order to enforce his regulations on the blue brand.

One of the most recent superstars affected by Aldis' strict approach is Kevin Owens, who was suspended and fined for attacking Cody Rhodes backstage at Bad Blood. However, on this week's SmackDown, Nick Aldis may be forced to ban The Prizefighter from the blue brand due to his actions last week.

On the previous episode of SmackDown, Kevin Owens appeared on the show despite his suspension and attempted to justify his attack on The American Nightmare. When his microphone was turned off, he grabbed commentator Corey Graves' mic off his head. This action surely frustrated the SmackDown GM, and if Owens continues to behave this way on the upcoming show, Aldis may be left with no choice but to ban Owens from Friday Night SmackDown.

Furthermore, last week, the former Universal Champion also attacked Randy Orton backstage when The Viper tried to confront him about his actions. It remains to be seen how things will unfold on the upcoming episode of SmackDown and how Nick Aldis will respond to Kevin Owens' actions, despite his suspension.


Why Nick Aldis banning a 9-time champion is a perfect decision to unfold

The decision to have SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis ban Kevin Owens is a smart move, as it will solidify Aldis' position as an authority figure. This action will showcase Nick's zero-tolerance approach and place him in an even stronger role within the Stamford-based promotion.

Additionally, Cody Rhodes is already scheduled to face Gunther at Crown Jewel 2024 for the inaugural Crown Jewel Championship. By banning Kevin Owens, WWE can send Owens on a brief hiatus, allowing the company to focus on the Cody Rhodes and Gunther feud without interference. This way, once Crown Jewel concludes, Cody can shift his attention to a potential feud with Owens.

Post-Crown Jewel, Nick Aldis might lift the ban on The Prizefighter, leading to Owens' return and a feud with Cody in time for Survivor Series: WarGames. Furthermore, banning Owens before Crown Jewel 2024 increases the likelihood of a clean finish to the Rhodes vs. Gunther match at the Saudi Arabia event.

Without the ban, there’s a strong chance Owens could fly to Saudi Arabia to interfere and cost Cody his match against the Ring General.
