#2. Hope is true: WWE's interesting plans for RAW involving Aleister Black

Aleister Black

Aleister Black is finally set to return to WWE after more than half a year away. In that time, his wife Zelina Vega was released by WWE and is already set to make her return.

In recent weeks, WWE has aired vignettes of Aleister Black for his upcoming return to SmackDown. All we know is that he will be picking up where he left off as a heel.

However, given how things keep changing in WWE, there could be another big plan as well. RAW has been a bit weak at the top, relying on Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley in the last few months.

AJ Styles and Randy Orton are also part of the Tag Team division, leaving WWE with a lack of top names on the Red brand.

According to WrestleVotes, there are reportedly backstage talks about two big ideas - shifting Aleister Black to RAW and Damian Priest getting a big push:

There has been backstage chatter recently that the RAW roster needs some fresh faces. Two ideas I’ve heard talked about are Damien Priest getting a big opportunity & Aleister Black being moving over. Orton & AJ having tag team roles have left the top a bit weak.

We hope this is true because RAW being less heavy at the top might leave an opening for Aleister Black to have a quick ascent. On the other hans, an organic rise to the top might serve Damian Priest well in the long run.
