Nick Aldis has been making some major moves as the General Manager of SmackDown at the end of 2025 and the start of 2026. One of the most recent signings to the blue brand is Je’Von Evans, adding to the fresh talent influx on both RAW and SmackDown. Trick Williams was also confirmed to have joined SmackDown, along with his real-life partner Lash Legend, who aligned with Nia Jax. Oba Femi is also rumored to be heading to the main roster soon.
However, one name that is set to shake up the SmackDown Women’s division is Jordynne Grace, a 3-time TNA Knockouts Champion. Grace was welcomed by Nick Aldis to SmackDown, but her moment was interrupted by Chelsea Green and Alba Fyre. Green, who lost the Women’s United States Championship recently, demanded a rematch from Aldis, showing little regard for Grace’s presence. Grace, on the other hand, made it clear that she wasn’t going to be a pushover, leading to a heated exchange between her and Alba Fyre.
In a surprising turn of events, Aldis announced that Grace would face off against Fyre later that night, giving Fyre the opportunity to welcome Grace to SmackDown in the ring. It seems like tensions are running high in the women’s division on SmackDown, with the addition of Grace only adding fuel to the fire.
Overall, it looks like SmackDown is gearing up for some exciting matches and storylines with the new signings and rivalries brewing. With Nick Aldis at the helm, fans can expect some fresh matchups and unexpected twists in the coming weeks. Stay tuned to see how these new additions will impact the blue brand’s landscape.
