WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long recently had a conversation with Sportskeeda on a variety of topics such as how he thinks there is still money in Nick Aldis and how WWE should put him on TV if he signs with the company instead of making him a trainer in NXT. He pitched that WWE should put Aldis in a storyline with “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes.
Long said, “I think that there’s still money in Nick Aldis, I think they should be using him on TV. I agree he could go to “NXT” and be a great trainer, but he ain’t ready for that, there’s still money in this guy man, why waste him down there? Put him on TV and put him in a good story with somebody.”
“They gotta build the guy, so don’t give him to Cody right away. Let him make a name for himself there, let him get some credibility there, let him build him, and then slide him into Cody and you stop by Cody one day and say, ‘Hey, I ain’t forgot about you,’ and then keep on walking.”
