#3. WWE is setting up Cody Rhodes vs. Nick Aldis

Shocking title change taped for last SmackDown - Watch Now!

During the latest episode of SmackDown, WWE subtly planted seeds for a future match between Rhodes and Aldis. This happened during their heated exchange of words, in which Rhodes reminded The National Treasure who he is.

Many feel that Rhodes' behavior toward Aldis appears arrogant, and this could be the start of Rhodes' slow heel turn on SmackDown. Nick and Cody already have a heated history, having contested in an NWA World Heavyweight Championship match.

So, these developments on the blue brand could be a sign that Aldis will be replaced as the GM of SmackDown soon, to set up inside the squared circle.

#2. Mickie James recently said that Nick Aldis isn't done wrestling

It's been a long time since Nick Aldis has stepped inside the squared circle. Recently, Aldis's real-life wife, Mickie James, confirmed that the National Treasure isn't done wrestling yet.

James said she is praying for a perfect opportunity and story for her husband, because after this, he will put on his boots again and step inside the squared circle. She also added that it will be a dream come true for the WWE star.

James' words seemed to confirm that Aldis will step into the WWE ring soon and make his in-ring debut. Mickie's statement indicated that Nick will be replaced from his GM position in the near future.

#1. Heavily involved in the Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre rivalry

Since the start of Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre's feud, Nick Aldis has been deeply involved in their heated rivalry. Even the National Treasure visited The Scottish Warrior's home to bring him back on television.

The excessive involvement of the WWE SmackDown GM in the Rhodes vs. McIntyre feud appears to be another sign that he is being replaced soon from his position. This could be done to bring him back in the squared circle.

Even Aldis could be accused of favoring McIntyre and fulfilling all his demands now.
