It’s tough being an on-screen authority figure in WWE. A roster full of stars constantly getting into brawls in between segments, demanding things on the day of the show, and just being hard to deal with can be a real task. However, one figure in particular has been dealing with a very real problem.
PWInsider is reporting that “WWE Smackdown” General Manager Nick Aldis has been dealing with an injury as of late, with multiple WWE sources believing that he has a torn bicep that requires surgery. Another report was published later the same day by PWI confirming that Aldis not only had a torn bicep, but that he had undergone surgery for it, and everything went smoothly to the point that WWE doesn’t think Aldis will miss any upcoming appearances for the company.
Aldis later confirmed and commented on the injury via a post on X (formerly known as Twitter).
“Yes, I just got out of surgery for a ruptured bicep tendon, and yes, the sheets had it within minutes. God bless ’em. Must be a slow news day,” Aldis wrote. “Anyway it was a freak accident, I’m on the mend, and I will continue to fulfill my obligations.”
Before his time as “Smackdown” General Manager, Aldis was best known for his work as Magnus in TNA Wrestling, where he would not only win two TNA Tag Team Championship, but the TNA World Championship as well. With TNA having working relationships overseas during his time there, Aldis would win tag gold in both New Japan Pro Wrestling and Pro Wrestling NOAH before leaving the company in 2015. He would enjoy a lot of singles success in his post-TNA career, winning the Global Force Wrestling World Championship in 2015, before going on to hold the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship for over 1300 days between 2017 and 2021. Aldis would make a brief pitstop back in TNA (then known as Impact Wrestling) before joining WWE as a backstage producer in August 2023 and being revealed as the Smackdown General Manager a few weeks later.

The Motor City Machine Guns’ TNA contracts are reportedly expiring in the near future.
According to a report from Pwinsider, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin will be working Smash Wrestling’s event in London, Ontario, Canada on April 21st. This is the same day as TNA’s post-Rebellion TV tapings.
According to multiple sources, the belief is that the team’s current TNA deals are expiring, potentially as soon as the end of this month. If their contracts do expire, they could continue working on a per-appearance deal but TNA would no longer have priority booking.
As of this writing, Shelley, Sabin and TNA have yet to comment on their contract statuses.

Tonight’s WWE NXT on USA Network from the Performance Center in Orlando Florida.
Dave Meltzer, during today’s on Wrestling Observer Radio, revealed that Tony Khan continues to hold a grudge against Jack Perry following CM Punk’s AEW departure and that’s why he hasn’t brought him back to television.
Perry had been absent from the scene for several months after the incident involving CM Punk at AEW All In last August. This incident resulted in Perry’s suspension and Punk’s release. Despite Perry now working with NJPW, he remains under contract with AEW.
The altercation occurred when Perry disregarded Punk’s advice against using real glass during a TV segment. Perry performed a spot on a car windshield at All In and made a reference to using real glass on camera, which led to the physical altercation.

Raquel Rodriguez revealed in January that she had been diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), which caused her to take a break from WWE TV. Individuals with MCAS experience allergic symptoms like hives, swelling, low blood pressure, difficulty breathing, and severe diarrhea.
Although Rodriguez made a comeback in February, she almost missed the WWE Elimination Chamber 2024 pay-per-view event due to a flare-up of her condition.
According to a report from Pwinsider, Rodriguez has now been removed from the active WWE roster. It was mentioned that she is currently listed internally alongside other talents who are currently inactive.
