WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis is excited to see what’s next for Kevin Owens now that his tag team with Sami Zayn has ended.
On this week’s SmackDown, Owens was traded to the blue brand in exchange for Jey Uso, who joined RAW at WWE Payback last month.
Speaking after SmackDown, Aldis expressed his interest in what Owens will do next as part of the blue brand. He said,
“My first order of business was to select and to negotiate for a trade in kind. Now, Jey Uso is a top-tier talent, so that kind of narrows the field as to who would be eligible. For me, as a GM, the most important responsibility I have is to the SmackDown audience. I knew that SmackDown fans would only tolerate a very small number of talent to be eligible to replace a talent of Jey Uso’s caliber. So when I got to thinking about it, there’s a lot of different moving parts, a lot of nuances. I won’t bore you with all those right now. But I felt like Kevin Owens met the criteria for a number of reasons, one obviously being that he is a very top-tier talent.
But also, we’re in a new season, and I feel like Kevin is entering a new season of his career, meaning that he has just come off an incredible run with Sami as the tag team champions. So I feel like the time is right for him to look at singles completion again. With that in mind, I felt like all of those different parts were in the right place, so I made a call to Kevin. We discussed things. I talked to Adam, I talked to Triple H. We made some negotiations, and we got the deal done.”
Aldis was introduced on this week’s SmackDown as the blue brand’s new General Manager while Adam Pearce will serve as the General Manager of RAW.
