Nick Aldis not at peace with career unless he has one WWE match

If he doesn’t have at least one more match, Nick Aldis won’t be at peace with the career that he has had.

The 38-year-old Aldis is prominently featured on WWE programming but has never had a match for the company. He started with WWE as a producer in summer 2023 and then made his on-screen debut as SmackDown general manager that October. In the ring, he’s a former World Champion for both the NWA and TNA Wrestling.

While appearing on a new episode of Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Aldis was asked if he’s at peace with his career if he never wrestles again.

“All honesty? No. I would like to lace them up,” he responded. “I don’t care if it’s on a regular basis, but I’ve earned it — once. I don’t know [if it would just be one time]. If it was one more time, so be it. Like I said, I feel like I meet the criteria to be on that canvas at least once.”

Aldis said he’s 100 percent recovered from the ruptured biceps tendon he suffered earlier this year. The injury happened while Aldis was doing a Ninja Warrior-style course at a trampoline park with his son.

Though he would like to wrestle a match for WWE, Aldis said it is not something he has asked for.

“Look, it gets asked all the time by everyone except me,” Aldis said. “I have never once said, ‘Hey, what about me? Could I wrestle?’ Because I don’t need to. If and when the time comes, it’ll be what they want and it will hopefully be the right time. I just told them that if you want to do that, I’m ready.”

Aldis said he has two contracts with WWE — one employee contract as a producer and a talent contract for his GM role.
