In a recent interview with the Under The Ring podcast, Mickie James discussed several topics, including her husband Nick Aldis being appointed the WWE SmackDown General Manager, noting that she is very excited for him and his new opportunities in the company, as well as that the role is a perfect fit for Aldis.

“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 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.”
