He took care of the people closest to him so God made aure to take care of him and now the man is an authority figure on essentially WWE's flagship show and gets to have a segment every week with not only the entire roster but Roman Reigns and he doesn't have to take a single bump, also they have him as a badass who doesn't take no shit from anyone. He's also a producer for WWE as well and helps choreography with the matches Best decision ever made

NWA has been around for a long time. WCW spawned from NWA Crockett Promotions. TNA started as NWA: Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. It goes back to the territory days of wrestling. It has an amazing history and it is sad to see it do bingo halls today.

AEW, the place where people would actually know his name vs now where he has to be a GM so people are more familiar with him before he wrestles and has no clout from beforehand with less leverage. He could've gone the Cody route, having been known through an AEW run then leaving to WWE with an already known name and could walk in for the audience to buy that he's a top talent. Would probably make much more, too because WWE would pay a premium to swoop someone from under AEW's nose like they did Jade Cargill.

He will more then likely be back in the ring sometime this year and more then likely it will be against Reigns. You can kind of see the WWE building to that, through the exchanges between him and Reigns weekly on Smackdown. Once Reigns loses the title, he will blame Aldis for it, thus leading to a feud.
