10 Small WWE Character Tweaks That Became DISASTERS!

10. Aleister Black Wants You To Pick A Fight

Or, maybe he'd rather you forgot about this miserably interminable episode.

AEW's Malakai Black must've been excited when he was called up to WWE's main roster in 2019 as Aleister Black. He had the world at his feet, and (following a brief stint in a tag-team with fellow ex-NXT'er Ricochet), it honestly seemed like Black would go from strength to strength. Then, this directionless crap happened.

Aleister cut some fine-enough promos putting himself over as a dangerous customer nobody wanted to mess with. His parting line for each? Either, 'Who wants to pick a fight with me?' or, 'Someone will pick a fight with me'. Words to that effect. This was cool at first, but it went on and on and on and on for months without much payoff.

The endless loop WWE placed Black in definitely hurt his aura. Even something menacing and initially impressive can become tedious and yawn-worthy if it drones on long enough without anything really happening. Vince McMahon needed to make his mind up on Aleister; was he going to make a splash, or was he just going to live out the "definition of insanity" he repeated in those promos?

Sadly, it was the latter.
