Nick Aldis, known for his prowess in the wrestling ring, was last seen in action in October 2023. He joined the WWE wagon and made his debut as WWE SmackDown’s General Manager in the episode that aired on October 13, where he also served as a producer.
The wrestling star recently joined the “Gorilla Position” podcast where he discussed the possibility of returning to the ring. When queried about his wish to wrestle again, he responded,
“Sure. It’s tough to answer this simply because I don’t want to ever give the impression that I’m trying to angle for something or go into something for myself. It’s unavoidable. I’ve seen a ton of sentiment from fans ‘we want to see you wrestle this guy.’ I appreciate all that. It’s not something I have any control or influence over. it’s very much a case of, when Paul [Triple H] and I first started speaking, I made it very clear that ‘I want to be part of the team and contribute in whatever way you think is best.’ If, at some point, [getting in the ring] is best then great. The GM conversation was the shortest conversation of my career. Bruce (Prichard) called me, ‘General Manager of SmackDown.’ ‘Great, when do I start?’ They laid out the terms and money, ‘All sounds great, let’s do it.’ Immediately, I said to my wife [Mickie James], ‘I’m going to try and be the best GM of all time.’ That’s all you can do.”
