Nick Aldis is heading to The Big Event this November, giving fans a chance to see the SmackDown General Manager outside WWE.

Aldis has been announced for the sports expo in Brentwood, New York, which is not affiliated with WWE. He joins a wrestling guest line-up that includes Ric Flair, Zelina ‘Xelina’ Vega, Braun Strowman and Diamond Dallas Page.

The former NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion and TNA World Heavyweight Champion joined WWE in 2023 as SmackDown’s General Manager, becoming a regular presence on Friday nights.

Aldis also stepped into a WWE ring for his first match with the company at SummerSlam 2026. He faced GUNTHER in the third match of the night, with GUNTHER taking the victory.
