This past weekend at WWE SummerSlam, "SmackDown" General Manager Nick Aldis made his in-ring debut for the promotion against GUNTHER. "That doesn't mean that this one didn't come as a total shock, because it did," he said. Aldis pointed out that some believed he might wrestle at last year's WWE WrestleMania 41. When it didn't happen, Orton reassured Aldis that his time would come and he needed to stay in ring shape. In order to fight GUNTHER at SummerSlam, Aldis was forced to resign from his position, but Triple H ripped apart his resignation letter following his match for having the courage to wrestle the "Career Killer."
