Nick Aldis, the General Manager of WWE SmackDown, recently made a rare departure from his character on an appearance on Gorilla Position, a podcast discussing WWE and wrestling. During the episode, Aldis broke character to give a heartfelt tribute to Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman, acknowledging the significant impact they had on his WWE career.
Aldis, who debuted in WWE last October, had the opportunity to interact with The Bloodline, including Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman, on the blue brand. He credited Roman Reigns for being instrumental in his debut, recognizing the immense importance of the superstar’s backing. Additionally, Aldis praised Paul Heyman, stating that their interactions had been invaluable and that he felt like he was getting paid to receive a doctorate in working with the legendary manager.

Aldis’s words of appreciation demonstrated a deep sense of gratitude and admiration for the two WWE personalities. Roman Reigns, as The Tribal Chief, has been absent from WWE television since WrestleMania XL, with Paul Heyman waiting anxiously for his return. Meanwhile, Solo Sikoa, the new leader of The Bloodline, has been wreaking havoc on the blue brand, causing tension between Heyman and the rest of the group.
In the midst of this chaos, Nick Aldis’s kind words serve as a reminder of the positive impact that Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman have had on the WWE universe. Aldis’s heartfelt tribute reinforces the notion that even in professional wrestling, it’s not just about the in-ring action, but also about the friendships and relationships formed between the superstars.
