#3 Aleister Black cut another backstage promo on WWE SmackDown

Current SmackDown star Aleister Black made an impressive but not-so-successful move to the WWE main roster a couple of years back. SmackDown is now trying to right the wrongs and give The Striking Man from Amsterdam a run that could change his career.

Last week on SmackDown, Black appeared in a backstage segment with a slightly different character. He read from "Tales From The Dark Father." This week, the former NXT Champion appeared once again to deliver another cryptic message.

Black spoke about the facade that is the path to success and happiness. He spoke about his time in high school, and how things have shaped him. The Dutchman stated that he now knows how to break through, but refused to reveal any more.

This was another decent segment that helped build towards Black’s return to the ring. He has been missing for over six months, and his fans would like to watch him come back and enter a major rivalry.

It would be good to see if Black takes out Seth Rollins or Apollo Crews upon his return before building further. The man has a hige amount of talent, and SmackDown should look to utilize that to build an even stronger brand.
