The American Nightmare had a long history with current SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis that culminated from their AEW days together. It reached its peak with Rhodes winning the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship at All In five years ago. That said, that air of in-ring heat between them still seems to linger as evidenced by Aldis’s recent comments.
