Friday Night SmackDown has lately been the epicenter of chaos and Nick Aldis has been trying his best to keep things under control. From imposing suspensions on superstars to increasing security, the General Manager has been taking every necessary measure. However, the one man who still continued to be a nagging problem for Aldis is Drew McIntyre.

The Scottish Warrior is currently under a stringent suspension. He has been involved in three huge incidents this year. McIntyre first attacked referee Dan Engler, then he ambushed Cody Rhodes on his tour bus, after which he stirred up a huge brawl between the Men's WarGames teams this week on RAW. The 40-year-old made it clear that suspensions cannot hold him captive.

Meanwhile, Nick Aldis might be helplessly watching everything unfold before his very eyes. There is a good possibility that he could make a huge announcement on SmackDown tonight. In a backstage segment, the General Manager might state that Drew McIntyre's suspension will officially be lifted after the Survivor Series: WarGames Premium Live Event.

Aldis could do that to calm McIntyre's wrath and give him a purpose to not cause any more havoc. Besides, WWE is likely to resume The Scottish Warrior's feud with Cody Rhodes after the upcoming spectacle. Therefore, keeping him under suspension for long wouldn't make much sense. Instead, the company would prefer to feature the 40-year-old on the shows every week to add new layers to his storyline with Rhodes.

Hence, Nick Aldis is expected to lift Drew McIntyre's suspension very soon. There is a chance that it could happen tonight on SmackDown. However, the entire scenario is currently speculation and only time will tell what happens.

Drew McIntyre to feud with Cody Rhodes on SmackDown until Royal Rumble 2026?

Drew McIntyre's rivalry with Cody Rhodes has been going on in WWE for the past two months. It took a new turn last week after what unfolded on SmackDown. In a shocking turn of events, The Scottish Warrior unleashed a merciless assault on Rhodes in his tour bus, leaving him draped in blood.

In the aftermath of this attack, The American Nightmare delivered an intense promo, calling out the 40-year-old. There is a good possibility that this feud will continue at its full pace after Survivor Series: WarGames. The Triple H-led creative team might stretch this storyline to the Royal Rumble 2026.

Survivor Series will be WWE's last PLE of 2025, after which the company will host Saturday Night's Main Event on December 13. However, the Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre rivalry needs a bigger stage for its culmination, making the Royal Rumble 2026 the most plausible choice.

Hence, there is a high chance that WWE will continue to showcase Rhodes' storyline with McIntyre on SmackDown, leading all the way to January 2026. However, this is currently speculation and it all depends on what Triple H has in store.
