Nick Aldis discusses healing during his WWE General Manager role
Summary

Nick Aldis, WWE SmackDown General Manager, shared insights on how his non-wrestling role has aided his recovery.

He struggled with nagging back pain, initially suspecting a serious issue but later discovering it to be an inflamed muscle. After receiving appropriate treatment and taking time off, his condition improved significantly. Aldis had to withdraw from an independent match against Alex Shelley due to pain but expressed gratitude for the opportunity to rest.
