One of the biggest current Superstars missing from WWE programming right now is Aleister Black. With a unique gimmick and exceptional striking skills, Aleister Black is someone who stands out among everyone else as a star. One year ago from now, he was yet to be pinned on the main roster. However, there have been massive speculations about his in-ring future recently.
It was in November 2020 when WWE released Aleister Black's wife Zelina Vega from the company. Since then, Black has been absent from the backstage area raising doubts over what is next for him. However, a recent report suggests that WWE purposely pulled him off the TV, and they are indeed planning a huge return for him.
In this article, let's take a look at five massive ways in which WWE can book the return of Aleister Black. Be sure to comment down and let us know your thoughts and opinions on the same.
#5 Aleister Black returns and calls out The Undertaker
The debate of 'who could be the successor of The Undertaker in WWE' usually starts with the name of Bray Wyatt, who has been amazing as The Fiend and has brought back the element of supernatural touch in WWE. Many fans were disappointed when The Undertaker retired at WWE Survivor Series 2020 as they wanted The Phenom to 'pass the torch' to a young Superstar.
However, another such Superstar who can take forward the baton from The Undertaker is Aleister Black. WWE hasn't properly used his satanic gimmick on the main roster, but as the saying goes - it's better late than never.
Recent reports suggest that while The Undertaker's status for WrestleMania 37 is still not decided, it would take only one call from Vince McMahon to bring him back. If he does, it could be a great idea to let him have his final match against someone like Aleister Black.
What better way for Aleister Black to return than to come back and call out The Undertaker on the RAW or SmackDown after Royal Rumble 2021? This could lead to a massive feud between the two, ending with The Phenom putting over Aleister Black.
#4 Aleister Black returns with a new gimmick and look
Last year, Seth Rollins and Murphy destroyed the eyes of Aleister Black on RAW (in kayfabe), the same way they did to Rey Mysterio at WWE Extreme Rules. Aleister Black was out of action for a long time and during his time off, he teased a new look on social media with a demonic mask.
However, when he returned, he just had an eye-sling sort of a thing that was also later removed. WWE definitely missed a huge opportunity to make a massive change to his gimmick and potentially give him a new look. But we might see WWE do the same whenever Aleister Black returns this time.
#3 Aleister Black joins hands with Universal Champion Roman Reigns
Before his sudden disappearance from WWE TV, Aleister Black was a heel facing Kevin Owens on SmackDown. An interesting possibility for Aleister Black on his return would be to come back and join hands with the Universal Champion Roman Reigns. We recently saw WWE tease an alliance between Apollo Crews and Roman Reigns, which means there's always a possibility of The Tribal Chief adding more Superstars in his faction.
If WWE does plan to take this route, it could happen as soon as this Sunday at Royal Rumble 2021 with Aleister Black returning and helping Reigns retain his title and cost Kevin Owens his match. It would make all the sense in the world and Roman Reigns could elevate Black to the next level.
#2 Aleister Black returns to NXT and challenges Finn Balor
Aleister Black is one of the several WWE Superstars on the main roster who have reportedly expressed a desire to go back to NXT for some time. That hasn't happened yet but it might be a great idea for him to return to NXT.
Aleister Black is a former NXT Champion and it would be amazing if he returns to the brand and challenges the current NXT Champion Finn Balor. Black could either stay on the brand for some time like Finn Balor is doing ever since his return to NXT in late 2019. Or he could come back to the main roster after a few months, all fresh.
#1 Aleister Black returns at WWE Royal Rumble 2021
One of the likeliest scenarios for the return of Aleister Black is him coming back at the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble 2021 pay-per-view as a surprise entrant in the men's match. Royal Rumble has traditionally been used as a platform for Superstars to return on the Road to WrestleMania and the same could be the case with Aleister Black. The question is, will WWE book him all the way to win this year's match?
