10 WWE Stars One Tweak Away From Perfection

The Tweak: Let his actions do the talking.

Why It'd Help: Black's demonic appearance, hushed tones and "Knock, knock, knock" promos are an old-school throwback to the days when character trumped in-ring skill. Here's the thing: Aleister has more in-ring skill than most, and it's a complete waste that he's currently doing more talking than wrestling.

That Black Mass finish is over as hell, and even WWE's casual fanbase can already tell Black is one to watch when he starts throwing strikes and working elaborate sequences. The suggestion here might be alien to WWE, yet it's important if they want him to be sustainable. Aleister Black should do a lot less talking and a lot more kicking.

Promos are fine, but the repeated cries for someone to challenge him are repetitive already. It'd be more satisfying to see Black ditch the fancy suits, stop speaking in riddles like he's trying to be Bray Wyatt from four years ago and start booting the ever-living sh*t out of all who stand before him.
