Last year fans were not able to witness the fabled Brand Wars at the Survivor Series as the Chief Content Officer of WWE, Paul Levesque decided to keep things more story-driven. Even though it hasn’t been made official yet, the events are taking up a similar shape.

Brand Wars coming back to Survivor Series?

On the season premiere of SmackDown, Nick Aldis was appointed as the new general manager of the blue brand. Before his appointment, it was Adam Pearce who looked over both Raw and SmackDown. As soon as Aldis came into power, he decided to shake things up. The first thing he did was to get Kevin Owens on SamckDown, completing the exchange when Jey Uso went to Raw. This had stirred up some controversy as he was separated from his friend Sami Zayn.

The second thing he did was fining Jey Uso. The Main Event Star happened to barge his way at last week’s episode of SmackDown. He did this in retaliation as his twin had gate-crashed his match with Judgment Day. After the segment, Aldis was seen arguing with Jey Uso backstage. Adam Pearce entered the scene only to be informed that Jey Uso had been fined $10,000 for entering without permission. To this Pearce said he would do the same and levied a heavy fine on Jimmy Uso for his last week’s antics. As both Pearce and Jey Uso were leaving, Raw’s general manager whispered “Let the games begin.”
