SmackDown’s newest GM Nick Aldis started his rule in style by mocking Dominik Mysterio by saying, “I’m a great fan…of your Father”. This infuriated Mysterio alot but had the crowd in splits. After putting Mysterio in place, Aldis went on to deliver another shocking surprise to the fans of SmackDown.
He went on to introduce the newest member to SmackDown’s roster, a tradeoff from RAW after Jey Uso moved there. And fans were dumbstruck to hear the music of Kevin Owens. As fans were ecstatic about Owens’ arrival on SmackDown, they were equally dejected.
They knew very well that this was the end of the association between Owens and Sami Zayn. With Owens on SmackDown and Zayn on RAW, fans will never get to see this great tag team in action ever again.
