On the October 13, 2023 episode of WWE SmackDown, Nick Aldis was introduced as the general manager of WWE SmackDown.
Aldis has been working with WWE since August 2023 as a backstage producer in a tryout role before being hired full-time. Aldis has finished up a run with TNA/IMPACT Wrestling in the summer of 2023, losing the IMPACT World Title to Alex Shelley at IMPACT Slammiversary and working the TV tapings in August.
"I didn't have any job then," Aldis said to Chris Van Vliet on Insight as they recounted their last interview together before he was hired by WWE. "Now I have two; producer and a talent. I have two contracts. An employee contract as a producer and a talent contract for the General Manager role."
Aldis has been praised by fans and peers for his work as the general manager on WWE SmackDown.
