10 WWE Wrestlers Who Need A Fresh Start In 2021
4. Aleister Black
One can't help but feel bad for the former Tommy End.
Black had a decent start to 2020. He defeated AJ Styles, won against Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania and entered into a feud with Seth Rollins. His rivalry with the 'Monday Night Messiah' heralded the beginning of his decline. Rollins removed his eye in storyline which resulted in Black wearing a silly eye bandage. It looked ridiculous and as a result his credibility started circling the drain. For a character who once had so much presence it was disappointing to see this regression.
The last we saw of Aleister Black was in several losing efforts to Kevin Owens. He was drafted to SmackDown in October and since we have not heard a peep from him. Rumours abound that he is on the way out of WWE after his real life wife Zelina Vega was let go by the company.
Whether it's in WWE or elsewhere Black is too good of a talent to go to waste and needs something of a resurgence. A return to the brooding, mysterious gimmick he once held would be wise. It's a step towards rebuilding his lost legitimacy. If his future isn't as part of the WWE roster one can only hope he can move on to bigger and better things.
