WWE SmackDown Preview: Big betrayal involving Roman Reigns, surprise return before WrestleMania Backlash, title change on the cards? (May 14th, 2021)

#2 Aleister Black returns on WWE SmackDown

Aleister Black will return on WWE SmackDown soon

Aleister Black moved to WWE SmackDown during the Draft last year, following which he went missing from the television. The fans were curious to learn more about his whereabouts and the creative’s plans for his comeback. Recently, WWE confirmed that Black would return to television via a couple of interesting vignettes featuring the promising superstar.

Black looked more intense in his recent video package and talked about how he has always been taught to punish evil. He has seemingly embraced a darker side of his character and has also shown significant transformation via social media accounts. Black is expected to return on WWE SmackDown soon, and it could happen as early as tonight.

As of now, there are no feuds lined up for Aleister Black on the Blue brand. Thus, he is expected to kickstart a rivalry with a top superstar following a surprise return on WWE SmackDown. It will be interesting to see how the creative will book him going forward. He is an extremely talented performer and just needs a couple of good storylines to assert his dominance over the roster.
