WWE Has Plans For ‘Big Debut’ On SmackDown

Aleister Black has been absent from WWE programming for several months, following the release of his wife Zelina Vega, many have speculated whether her departure impacted his current status within the company.

According to PWInsider Elite (subscription required), WWE does have plans for Aleister Black to return, but have yet to execucted on them. The report mentions he was pulled from television, and will eventually be returning for a big “SmackDown debut”, although no timeline is known at this time.

“I was told he was purposely pulled from television so he comeback and  have a big dramatic debut for SmackDown, and it just hasn’t happened. My feeling is maybe the stuff with his wife Zelina, might have led to them saying ‘hey, let’s wait a bit, let’s the waters kind of calm’”

Aleister Black’s last three matches were against Kevin Owens, the final one taking place during the 10/12 episode of Monday Night RAW. As part of the 2020 Draft that same month, Black was drafted to Friday Night SmackDown.
