This week on Raw showed Aleister Black being attacked by Seth Rollins and Murphy after coming to Dominick’s aid. This attack resulted in Murphy targeting the eye of Aleister Black, pressing it against the sharp corner of the steel steps after being instructed to do so by Seth Rollins. After this angle on Aleister Black, many reports had speculated he had been written off television due to Vince McMahon giving up on him. However, with so many superstars not being able to compete on Raw for different reasons, this may not be the case.
Alex McCarthy of Talksport reported that Vince is a huge fan of the performer and Tom Budgen’s (Aleister Black) size, agility, and skill. However, it is essential to note in that report that Alex McCarthy didn’t mention Tom Budgen’s character, Aleister Black. Alex McCarthy also said that “[Vince] is worried the character is a gimmick and will limit him.” It is also in much speculation that Aleister Black may be only written off of television for a little while, with Vince planning to develop a new character for him. Aleister Black may be looking to face Seth Rollins at Summer Slam in a rival that may not be ending any time soon. The question is, will this rival give Aleister Black the much deserve push that he needs? Or will Seth Rollins continue his dominance?
Aleister Black debuted at NXT TakeOver on March 29, 2017. In one-on-one competition, Aleister Black went undefeated for over a year before winning the NXT Championship at TakeOver: New Orleans. Aleister Black later debuted on Raw against Elias on February 18, 2019.
