10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Aleister Black

10. They Botched His Non-Compete Clause

Oops.

Somebody behind the scenes at WWE might've received a roasting once Vince McMahon realised that Aleister Black could show up anywhere he damn well pleased just 30 days after leaving the company. Why? Well, WWE botched his non-compete clause before cutting Black for budget reasons.

This reportedly happened way back in 2019 when Aleister traded NXT life for Monday Night Raw. Somehow, the fact that he only had a 30-day non-compete duration (instead of the more standard 90 days) slipped everyone's attention, and that enabled Black to show up at Road Rager with a big ol' smile on his face.

Mistakes like that don't sit well with McMahon - he must be rather embarrassed that literally no-one on his staff detected this shorter clause before it was too late. How fitting that AEW's event had "Rager" in the title, because big Vince must've been hot that the typical 90-day rule wasn't enforced like it normally would be.
