Bully Ray from Busted Open Radio recently shared his thoughts on the recently finished The Last Time Is Now tournament. When co-host Dave LaGreca suggested that WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis might have been the surprise semifinal opponent for the Los Angeles Knight after Sheamus had to pull out due to injury, Bully Ray quickly dismissed the idea, saying he wouldn’t want to waste Aldis in such a scenario. It turned out that Knight actually faced The Miz, who had returned to the tournament just behind Aldis on SmackDown, and ultimately lost to Gunther in the finals. The discussion then shifted to the possibility of Aldis competing in the ring again, with Bully Ray pointing out the strong connection between Aldis and Adam Pearce, the WWE Raw GM, as both are former multiple-time NWA World Heavyweight Champions.
Bully Ray proposed that a match between Aldis and Pearce would be an ideal fit for a major WWE event like Survivor Series, particularly if the “brand supremacy” storyline is revived. He suggested that the rivalry could be used to fill out “Raw” and “SmackDown” teams for the event, making it a natural and exciting addition.
Fan Take: This speculation about Aldis and Pearce facing off reignites excitement about seeing seasoned champions bring fresh storylines to WWE fans. If this match happens, it could add a compelling layer to brand rivalries and showcase the deep wrestling history both men bring to the ring.
