Aleister Black needs to go back to his NXT roots. And that doesn’t mean that he should go back to the NXT roster. He just needs to recapture some of that old magic he had when his character was one of the hottest properties in WWE.

WWE has mishandled Black’s call-up to the main roster from day one. Having him form a tag team with Ricochet that only hardcore NXT fans cared about wasn’t the best way to maximize the impact of his main roster debut. Then the “knock on my door” angle was a disaster.

WWE should hit the reset button and allow Black to buzz through mid-carders and jobbers to reintroduce him properly to WWE main roster fans. We need to see the real Aleister Black who set NXT on fire. Only then will Black have a shot at breaking into the main event conversation.
