At WWE Night of Champions, GUNTHER got into an altercation with Nick Aldis. This led Michael Cole to announce that Aldis has been placed on administrative leave. Now, according to Dave Meltzer, this was all a setup for a SummerSlam 2026 match. Speaking on the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Radio, he said,
“They’re going to wrestle at SummerSlam, yeah. Aldis, I guess because he’s big, with the big shoulders and all that in the suit, there’s always been that thing like, ‘Oh, he should wrestle.’ Hopefully it’s only a one-match thing. I like him as a General Manager, and I think if they replace him, they’re probably replacing him with someone who’s not as good.”
“If he becomes a wrestler, I don’t think he’ll be successful at this stage of the game. But for one match on a big show? Sure. Well, the easy story is they put me on administrative leave for six weeks. That means I’m able to do wrestling.”
