Aleister Black Responds To Murphy's WWE WrestleMania 37 Challenge
Aleister Black shoots his WrestleMania 37 shot in response to Murphy...
It looks like Aleister Black is up for wrestling Murphy at WrestleMania 37.
This chain of events began last weekend, when Murphy tweeted the missing-in-action Black, asking him if he wanted to steal the show on 10 or 11 April.
It took him a few days, but Aleister has now replied, quote-tweeting Murphy with a picture of his ring gear:-

Murphy is currently active on SmackDown, having attempted to return to Seth Rollins' servitude after his old storyline with the Mysterio family was cancelled without resolution last year. Black, meanwhile, is nowhere to be found. He was sent to SmackDown as part of the 2020 WWE Draft but is yet to appear for his new home.
Aleister's last WWE match went down on 12 October 2020, when he lost a No DQ bout to Kevin Owens. He recently posted a cryptic return message, telling his audience they would soon "sit face to face," having been spotted at the Performance Center several times in recent weeks.
Per the Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer, Black has been dealing with some minor injuries in his time away from television. With a WrestleMania 37 tilt very, very unlikely, there's no word on when he might return.
