The return of Aleister Black to WWE SmackDown was a welcome sight. Some may say that he channeled elements of Tales from the Crypt, some may say that there were elements of Far Cry, and to others, he resembled a black metal musician.
What we do know for sure is that Aleister Black has been repackaged as a storyteller, in a dark and ominous new persona, and the following weeks should be very interesting indeed.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.
It was crazy to see how Aleister Black, one of the most dominant stars in the NXT brand, was completely mishandled during the latter stages of 2020. He hadn't shown up for weeks on WWE SmackDown, and some even speculated that he would be one of the names released in the most recent round. Luckily that wasn't to be, and Aleister Black is back, and better than ever!
One may only cross his/her fingers and hope that he's used as well as he was used during his NXT stint.
