She asked him about the moment in the ring with wife Mickie James and their son after his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cagesideseats.com\/wwe\/465188\/wwe-summerslam-2026-results-gunther-may-have-just-ended-another-career-nick-aldis\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">valiant loss to Gunther<\/a> on the premium live event from Minneapolis tonight (Aug. 1). Before he could answer his boss arrived.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">In order to face Der Ring General, Aldis had to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cagesideseats.com\/wwe\/462720\/nick-aldis-gives-up-smackdown-gm-role-in-ring-return-wwe-summerslam-vs-gunther-contract-bitch\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">relinquish<\/a> his job as SmackDown General Manager. After tapping out to Gunther, Aldis decided he couldn\u2019t step back into the role and offered WWE chief content officer Paul \u201cTriple H\u201d Levesque his letter of resignation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The Game wasn\u2019t having it though. He wants Nick right back in charge of the blue brand next Friday, even with the man who just beat him on the roster. On that subject, Hunter tells the GM to \u201ctake it easy\u201d on Gunther.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Later on a \u201cpress conference\u201d portion of the Post Show, Levesque was asked about Aldis\u2019 wrestling future. He put over Aldis again, and then basically said \u201cnever say never\u201d. It doesn\u2019t seem like it will be soon though, since he\u2019d have to relinquish again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Let us know what you think about how WWE wrapped up Aldis\u2019 quick return to the ring, and how interested you are in future returns, in the comments below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On the SummerSlam Saturday Post Show, Cathy Kelley caught up with Nick Aldis backstage.
