#4.Kevin Owens - A great way for Aleister Black to pick up where he left off

Post-summer 2020, Aleister Black's role in WWE was decreasing significantly. The firing of Paul Heyman as the RAW Executive Director meant that Black didn't have any major name pushing for him backstage.

It was Kevin Owens who he attacked to officially turn heel before his abrupt hiatus. He even lost to Owens, so it makes perfect storyline sense for Aleister Black to target the former Universal Champion. While Owens is embroiled in a feud against long-time rival Sami Zayn, it could be an easy transition - as Zayn would end up winning the rivalry despite losing at WrestleMania.


#3. Shinsuke Nakamura

Shinsuke Nakamura had a great start to 2021, nearly challenging for the Universal Championship. He had a great performance against Daniel Bryan - who he defeated clean. While it became clear that the spot was for Cesaro, it helped Nakamura regain some lost momentum.

Shinsuke Nakamura would be the perfect welcome back rivalry for Aleister Black at this stage in his career. It would simply serve to help get Black kickstarted again.
