WWE SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis is reportedly dealing with an arm injury.
Though he's not currently competing in the ring, PWInsider reports that Aldis was recently injured and is expected to undergo surgery on his arm. "The belief among some is that the injury may be a torn bicep," PWInsider wrote.
Aldis was introduced as SmackDown's on-screen authority figure in October 2023. He hasn't wrestled since competing at an indie show that month.
Before becoming an on-screen character, the 37-year-old Aldis had been brought into WWE for a potential role working behind the scenes as a producer.
In an interview with the Daily Mail this January, Aldis was asked about potentially competing in a WWE ring one day. Aldis said he's focused on trying to be the best general manager of all time, but anything is possible in WWE:
Anything is possible in the WWE. I deeply appreciate all of the fans who keep me alive in that regard, who want to see me in the ring with this person or that person. Since my interaction with Roman [Reigns], that started a whole different conversation in that regard.
I'm just grateful that there's an interest in it. At the same time, I'm fully committed to being the best general manager of all time, so I'll cross that bridge if I come to it.
Aldis is a former World Champion for the NWA and TNA Wrestling.
Aldis appeared on SmackDown last Friday and announced that Logan Paul will defend his United States title against Randy Orton and Kevin Owens in a triple threat match at WrestleMania 40.
