On the latest episode of SmackDown General Manager, Nick Aldis revealed in a backstage segment that the Scottish Warrior is still suspended from the blue brand. But, despite being suspended, the Chosen One brutally attacked Cody Rhodes in his bus, leaving him unconscious.

Rhodes later appeared on the show and cost Bronson Reed his contest against Carmelo Hayes and delivered a passionate promo. The blue brand GM was clearly not happy with Drew being on the show. Aldis could force Paul Heyman to get a new member in place of the Scotsman as he tried to jeopardize the health of the Undisputed WWE Champion.

In a shocking turn of events, The Oracle could replace Drew McIntyre with former WWE Champion Randy Orton, who could enter as a surprise and finally turn heel on Rhodes, planting seeds for his much-awaited WrestleMania showdown against his prodigy, The American Nightmare.
