Aleister Black suffered a big loss to Seth Rollins on the most recent episode of WWE RAW, and there are growing concerns regarding the former NXT Superstar's standing on the roster.

Tom Colohue revealed on the latest edition of the Dropkick DiSKussions podcast that Vince McMahon reportedly thinks there is something missing about Aleister Black.

Black enjoyed a solid run on WWE RAW when Paul Heyman was in charge as the Superstar was a Heyman project. However, Heyman's removal as the Executive Director of WWE RAW may have affected Black's push.

Tom Colohue noted that Vince McMahon might view Black in the same vein as Cesaro and that isn't a good thing.

Here's what Colohue revealed:

"It was definitely a big defeat to take even though it was like to a big name like Seth Rollins. He was slightly protected because of the interference from Buddy Murphy. Things have really changed in the last couple of weeks for Aleister Black. Now Paul Heyman definitely loved him and Aleister Black was really the headline of the show for him. Every week, he would be having a half an hour match in the opening minutes."
"To my knowledge, it is Vince McMahon who has mixed opinions shall we say. Vince added that creek to the entrance when he leverages up and now he has removed the entrance all together. We haven't seen the Aleister Black entrance in a long time. To put it bluntly, Vince thinks that there's something missing about Aleister Black. It's similar to how he feels about Cesaro. Keep an eye on this one because we all know how that went. "
