It will be difficult for SmackDown to keep order among the mayhem that has been wreaked by The Bloodline, Randy Orton, LA Knight, and AJ Styles. Now we have Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who has pledged to add even more excitement to the mix. But General Manager Nick Aldis had some Samoan Duo developments before the following SmackDown broadcast.
The Rock and Roman Reigns will be appearing on the next SmackDown, according to statements made by Aldis on social media. Their supporters have been clamoring for their return ever since Cody Rhodes challenged Reigns at the WrestleMania 40 Kickoff Press Event.
The Rock’s shocking heel turn at the WM40 KickOff event only served to heighten fans’ anticipation for their arrival. Demand for tickets will surely increase as fans eagerly anticipate the progression of the tale.
Additionally, Aldis dropped hints about controlling the issue, suggesting that he has a few tricks up his sleeve to handle it. All eyes are focused on whether The American Nightmare will show up during their part as the suspense grows.
Nick Aldis shares injury update on Shotzi Blackheart
In a shocking turn of events, WWE SmackDown’s general manager Nick Aldis revealed yesterday that Shotzi, a major figure in the women’s division, injured her knee in an NXT fight. As a result, there will be some major lineup adjustments in tonight’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying matches.
Aldis announced Shotzi’s withdrawal from competition on social media after she hurt herself in an NXT championship bout with Lyra Valkyria. Because of this, WWE is rethinking its plans for her to compete in the Elimination Chamber qualifying. Regarding her injury, SmackDown GM expressed, “I have some unfortunate news to kick things off. Shotzi is unfortunately injured and unable to compete.”
The Women’s Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match will now feature Alba Fyre instead of Shotzi, who was originally scheduled to fight Tiffany Stratton. But Aldis made it clear that Fyre isn’t meant to take Shotzi’s place.
The long-running animosity between Shotzi, Ronda Rousey, and Shayna Baszler intensifies the effect of her lack of presence. Even though she and Ronda are still at odds, Shotzi’s injuries are real and not an extension of the plot. This has implications for both her current and future status in the women’s division since it impacts her participation in SmackDown.
