Aleister Black's cryptic vignettes on WWE SmackDown have captured the attention of fans and critics alike. Although he hasn't returned to in-ring action yet, Black's recent vignettes add more depth to his onscreen persona.

On Instagram, the former NXT Champion recently displayed his body transformation over the past seven months. He also included a lengthy caption that ended with a message for his followers. Here is an excerpt from the caption:

"As a kid I would find people that would teach me breakdance because it would give me rhythm, athleticism and footwork that I needed for kickboxing that I would later apply to wrestling and Sports Entertainment. This was the same mind set I needed to make some changes. If anything to take away here is whatever you wish to accomplish always dissect what it is made of and strengthen all those attributes so that they enhance the overall goal." Black stated on Instagram.
