Aleister Black’s WWE release raised many eyebrows inside and outside of the company and was seen as a huge mistake by many. However, Black look sets to show WWE what they are missing as he has debuted in the Road Rager-themed episode of Dynamite.
During an Arn Anderson promo, the lights would go out, and when they came back on, Aleister Black was in the ring. He would hit Black Mass on Anderson, and when Cody Rhodes ran out to make the save, he was hit with the same move. Excalibur would go on to refer to Black as “Malakai Black,” which is the same name he used in a gory video recently shared on his Instagram and means either “Messenger Of God” or “My Messenger.”
Black’s final WWE match took place on October 12, 2020, where he lost a no disqualification match to Kevin Owens. Following that, he went on an extended hiatus. It would later be reported he was training at the Performance Center for a potential return, and on the April 23, 2021, episode of SmackDown vignettes became promoting his return, leading up to him attacking Big E on the May 21 episode. He’d surprisingly only make one appearance on the blue brand with the company citing budgetary reasons for letting him go.
His AEW debut comes just a few days after his wife Zelina Vega made her WWE return during Friday night’s SmackDown when Sonya Deville introduced her to be a participant in the upcoming women’s Money in the Bank ladder match. While her return fell flat due to losing a two-minute match to Liv Morgan, Black’s has been well-received on social media, and fans can’t wait to see what’s next.
