Aleister Black has only one sensible booking option in WWE, says Hall of Famer (Exclusive)

Aleister Black recently returned to WWE on SmackDown, creating immediate buzz among fans. Hall of Famer Teddy Long recently talked about Black's future and what he believes should be the best option for him moving forward.

Before his recent comeback, Aleister Black had been quite successful in creating an intimidating faction in AEW called the House of Black. Along with Buddy Matthews, Brody King, and Julia Hart, the House of Black established itself as a noteworthy stable despite its scattered appearances. With Black now returning to the Stamford-based promotion, many are wondering if he will create a faction again to cement his prominence.

WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long also shared his thoughts on the possibility during an appearance on The Wrestling Time Machine hosted by Mac Davis. He stated that Black did not need to surround himself with a stable, and that having a solo run could be just what he needed.

"I would put him by himself, if it was me... I would put him completely by himself. You don't need no group of people. You don't need no bunch of people around him." [1:55 onwards]

He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former.
