As seen on this week’s episode of SmackDown, Nick Aldis has signed with WWE and will now serve as the General Manager of SmackDown.
According to a report from Fightful Select, Aldis officially signed a contract with WWE earlier this week. He was previously working on a trial basis as a producer.
As of this writing, there is no word on whether he’ll continue to serve as a producer. It’s worth noting that he didn’t produce any matches on this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown.
Adam Pearce is an on-screen character and also works as a producer, so it’s possible Aldis will do the same.
Additionally, there is nothing in the contract saying Aldis can’t end up in the ring at some point.
Aldis is reportedly well-liked backstage and is said to be ‘eager’ to make the most out of whatever WWE gives him.
