Tyson Kidd hasn't been seen on WWE television since injuring his neck in a match against Samoa Joe in 2015, but according to wrestling reporter Ryan Satin the former WWE tag team champion is returning in a non-wrestling role.

Via Pro Wrestling Sheet:
"According to sources, Kidd is currently being transitioned into a non-wrestling role. Since it's still fresh, one source says it's too early to define whether it'll be behind the scenes — like a producer/agent — or if he'll be used in some sort of on-air role that doesn't require wrestling."
It's not immediately clear what exactly the role will include, but it certainly sounds like the role will likely be a backstage producer of some kind.
Whatever the role may include, it's good to hear the company is bringing in Kidd for a non-wrestling role, kind of like what they did with Daniel Bryan on Smackdown Live, to give the very talented wrestler something to do now that he can no longer wrestle.
5% of people survive this injury. 16 staples, 4 screws and a rod later and luckily I survived to tell my story. pic.twitter.com/hXpXpA0aAF
