What is TJ Wilson's current role in WWE?

After a decade-long run in the independent wrestling scene, TJ wrestled as Tyson Kidd in WWE for several years. Wilson made his main roster debut on an episode of WWE's version of ECW in 2009. He was managed by his wife and WWE SmackDown Superstar Natalya.

He became a tag team champion as part of The Hart Dynasty team alongside David Hart Smith before returning to NXT in 2011. He later returned to the main roster and teamed up with former WWE Superstar Cesaro in 2014-2015. The team competed in the first-ever Tag Team Elimination Chamber match, which unfortunately was Wilson's final televised match.

In June 2015, he was forced to retire from in-ring competition after suffering a severe spinal cord injury while receiving a Muscle Buster from Samoa Joe. He was hired two years later as a full-time producer, officially ending his wrestling career.

Since his retirement, Wilson has made a massive impact in WWE by producing women's matches. Natalya sat down with Ryan Satin on the Out of Character podcast last year and stated that TJ produced every single women's match at WrestleMania 37.

"There’s nothing in his career that has been as special as producing every single Woman’s match at WrestleMania. They were all produced by TJ. 18 women were produced by TJ, which is a huge percentage of the show. TJ wanted the challenge. He took on the challenge,” Natalya said. [H/T WrestlingInc]
