Plans For GUNTHER & Nick Aldis Following Altercation At WWE Night Of Champions

The direction for GUNTHER and Nick Aldis.
At WWE Night of Champions, GUNTHER was once again unsuccessful at capturing the Undisputed WWE Championship. During the post-show, he confronted SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis, and the two got into a physical altercation.
WrestleVotes on Fightful Select learned that if something is set up involving the two, it will be Aldis facing GUNTHER as opposed to Aldis selecting someone to face GUNTHER on his behalf.
“The concept of Gunther/Nick Aldis has been discussed before, but not in the context that’s currently unfolding.
@WrestleVotes Radio on @FightfulSelect has learned that if there is a match between the two, the expectation is that it will be Gunther facing Aldis and not Aldis selecting someone to fight for him.”
