Mickie James comments on her husband becoming the general manager of SmackDown.
Last week on Friday Night SmackDown, Nick Aldis was revealed as the new GM of SmackDown and after a casual burn on Dominik Mysterio, Aldis introduced who SmackDown had received in exchange for Jey Uso in a trade.
This would turn out to be Kevin Owens, who would march to the ring and hit a stunner on Dominik to a big pop.
In a recent interview with the Under The Ring podcast, Aldis’ wife, Mickie James, said that she’s very excited for him.
“I can’t tell you how excited I am for Nick. He’s worked a really long time and there’s been opportunities that perhaps he thought it may never happen, or we thought it would never happen, just different things along the way and I feel like it’s his time now. I’m so grateful that he’s finally gotten an opportunity, I know he’s going to kill it. He’s so great on the microphone as it is, but I think this GM role is perfect because he can be cocky and people can love him, or they can hate him. I’m so excited for him and he deserves it more than the world. I was crying when I got the news and I had been waiting for the news to come out, and I was trying to keep it as secret as possible so it was a big surprise. It’s amazing to see him living the dream, and living his dream because we’re obviously a couple and a team, but I’ve had so many amazing opportunities in my career and I feel like a lot of people don’t know how good he is, and now they’re going to see.”

While Aldis is now the GM of SmackDown, Triple H also announced that Pearce would now function as the GM of RAW.
We will have to wait and see how Aldis continues to do in the role as SmackDown GM.
