 British wrestling veteran Nick Aldis is reportedly set to be backstage at WWE Raw tonight amid rumours about a potential new role. It sounds like the former IMPACT Wrestling star, who recently returned to the company for a short stint following his acrimonious exit from Billy Corgan's National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) late last year, will be at the show in Minneapolis. According to reports, he is being brought in with an eye on a potential role as a producer, helping other wrestlers plan their matches. PWInsider has said Aldis will be at a number of upcoming TV tapings as talks continue over him possibly joining the promotion full time. Neither WWE nor the former world champion have confirmed the news, but the Norwich-born wrestler refused to rule out the possibility in a new interview. 'I cannot confirm or deny,' he said when asked about the rumours during an appearance on K100 with Konnan and Disco. Aldis would be a great hire for the company (Picture: WWE) There has been a lot of speculation and conflicting reports regarding WWE and its hiring approaches amid the sale to UFC owner Endeavour, as well as rumours Aldis could have ended up anywhere in the wrestling world after his exit from the NWA. Acknowledging that IMPACT was a great fit for him after leaving the NWA, he exclusively told Metro.co.uk: 'It is, but as far as WWE, timing is everything. I don't wanna speak to it too much, but timing was a big factor. I think everyone knows that there's a lot going on there. Who knows?' After the reports suggesting he could join WWE as a producer rather than an active wrestler, fans have insisted he still has a lot to offer in the ring. Wade Barrett wants to see Aldis on Raw or SmackDown (Picture: WWE) 'The producer part can wait for a few years. WWE needs fresh new heels and Nick Aldis can give it to them NOW,' tweeted one fan who clearly thinks the National Treasure could be a great villain for th){kind=link}
