As such, SmackDown GM announced that his next challenger will be none other than the United States Champion Logan Paul. After their meeting in the ring, the British manager sent a message to The American Nightmare on social media.
Nick Aldis took to X and shared two pictures of him with Cody Rhodes. One was of the two shaking hands on the latest episode of SmackDown. The other was them having a go at each other. For those unaware, Aldis and Cody Rhodes have wrestled in a match before in the promotion called NWA. The American Nightmare defeated his adversary to win the NWA Heavyweight Champion.

Speaking of the challenger, Rhodes and Logan Paul agreed to a Champion vs. Champion match with a Winner Take All stipulation. The 38-year-old star expressed his desire to win both belts at the King and Queen of the Ring PLE.
