WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis is doing well following surgery after suffering a \"freak accident\" injury to his bicep.
It was reported in March 2024 that Aldis had suffered an injury and that it would require surgery. The British veteran later disclosed that he had ruptured a tendon in his bicep in what he described as a \"freak accident.\" Aldis added that he would continue to fulfill his obligations as general manager of the blue brand.
Nick Aldis Gives An Update
On a recent edition of the Gabby AF podcast, Aldis discussed his injury. The SmackDown GM explained how getting injured to the extent that he needs surgery is hardly a regular thing for him.
\"Before this one, I’ve only had one major surgery my whole career and it was the other bicep, so it was just a freak thing.\"
Aldis added that he is feeling much better now he\'s gotten the surgery and hopes to be back in the swing of things in time for WrestleMania 40 next weekend.
\"I feel great. I’m in a stupid splint cast thing for a little bit longer and then hopefully I’ll transition to a brace, kind of like the one that we’re seeing Punk wearing. I’ll be switching into one of those hopefully in time for WrestleMania.
Nick Aldis
Aldis debuted in WWE in October 2023 on the very same night he was appointed SmackDown General Manger by Triple H. The Brit is perhaps best known for his NWA run which saw him reign as NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion for over 1,000 days.
Aldis also enjoyed success in TNA Wrestling, though his initial gimmick \'Brutus Magnus\' (a nod to his time on the athletic game show \'Gladiators\') left a lot to be desired. Aldis is a former TNA World Heavyweight Champion and held the title for 128 days.
