Who did Aleister Black tick off backstage?

Black lost his unique entrance and cool entrance music last week and switched up his gear to wear long leather pants and a headband covering his “damaged” eye. Sounds like a winner. Then Monday, he battled Kevin Owens in a free-TV, no-DQ match that he lost decisively.

Yeah, Black definitely ticked someone off.

Remember when Aleister was a unique, special wrestler in NXT? Remember when he and Ricochet were a hot tag team brought up to the main roster? Remember when Black was a mysterious, protected guy on SmackDown?

Yeah, apparently WWE doesn’t either.
