10 Huge WWE Stars In Danger Of Missing WrestleMania 36

5. Aleister Black

On the one hand, Aleister Black has been on the receiving end of a dominant (ish) main roster push, has been made to look like an absolute monster (I guess), and just last week picked up a huge PPV win over AJ Styles (sort of).

However said push has been largely directionless, he's only perceived as a monster against absolute nobodies, and that huge win only happened to service someone else. He doesn't really have anything substantial of his own, and with 'Mania fast approaching the non-title slots are diminishing by the week. It's a bizarre situation for a man who's had so much TV time over the past few months.

Whatever he's doing it'll require him to star from scratch, and having him go one-on-one with Rollins on Raw, only to then bizarrely exclude him from the multi-man tag match it inevitably led to, suggests they have absolutely zero idea what they want from him. Murphy is there, as too is the United States Championship, but right now it doesn't feel like either of those are on the menu.
