The opportunity came in the form of being a [WWE] producer and I was very grateful for that opportunity because I've enjoyed working behind the scenes," Aldis continued, "especially in the NWA, I wore a lot of hats there for the past few years."

He continued:

"I was very, very grateful when Bruce pulled me out of the meeting...and he said 'We've got this idea.'" [H/T Wrestling Inc.]

Nick Aldis opened up about his WWE debut

A couple of weeks ago, Triple H dropped a bombshell announcement when he presented Nick Aldis as the new General Manager of the blue brand. This was Aldis' first time as a WWE star, which has been his dream for a long time.

During an appearance with Busted Open Radio, Aldis opened up about how he felt during his WWE debut.

"The thing I remember the most was sitting at ringside trying to look cool. Trying to keep composed, and here comes Hunter's (Triple H) music. The thing I remember the most is that my heart was beating 1,000 miles an hour. I could hear my heart beating. You know, it was like thump, thump, thump, thump, thump. All I just thought was, 'Okay, well, this is it. You get your opportunity and try to hit the ball, and I feel like I did pretty good,'" he said.

It remains to be seen if this role will transition into Aldis stepping back into the ring as a competitor or not.
