Nick Aldis Addresses Extra Security at SmackDown Following Wyatt Sicks Attack

One big thing: SmackDown GM Nick Aldis announces heightened security measures

Nick Aldis, General Manager of WWE SmackDown, has confirmed increased security for tonight’s show in response to the Wyatt Sicks’ destructive debut on Monday Night Raw.

• Aldis announced the precautions in a video posted to WWE’s X account.
• He urged fans attending the sold-out show at Chicago’s Allstate Arena to be patient with the additional security checks.
• The GM also revealed a women’s triple threat match for a spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match.

Why it matters

The enhanced security underscores the impact of the Wyatt Sicks’ arrival and WWE’s commitment to maintaining kayfabe in the aftermath of storyline events.

By the numbers

• 5: Members of the Wyatt Sicks faction (Uncle Howdy, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, Erick Rowan, and Joe Gacy)
• Multiple: WWE personnel reportedly injured in the Raw attack, including Chad Gable

What they’re saying

“We have extra security on hand, given the events of Monday night. Very unfortunate situation. Not going to happen on my watch,” Aldis stated in the video.

The big picture

The Wyatt Sicks’ brand-agnostic status means they could potentially appear on any WWE show, keeping both talent and fans on edge.

What’s next

All eyes will be on SmackDown to see if the Wyatt Sicks make another appearance or if the blue brand can avoid the chaos that engulfed Raw.
