What Nick Aldis said after becoming the new WWE SmackDown General Manager?
After being appointed as the General Manager of the blue brand, Nick Aldis' first act was to introduce Kevin Owens as the latest acquisition for the show in exchange for Jey Uso to RAW. Later, Aldis said the following in a Digital Exclusive Interview:
“I’m feeling wonderful. Like I said out there, it’s the opportunity of a lifetime to be the general manager of SmackDown, the number one brand in all of sports entertainment. Wow. It’s a testament to the many hats that I’ve worn in the industry outside of the ring. To be bestowed that trust by Triple H and the rest of the management team at WWE is a huge thrill.” [H/T TJRWRESTLING]
