Predicting Where EVERY Released WWE Star Will Sign Next

Discussing the possibility of Aleister Black moving back to AEW, Dave Meltzer had this to say on a recent Wrestling Observer Radio (h/t to Wrestling Inc.):

"The idea of Aleister Black and AEW was not fondly thought of by the people I spoke with there. Now, I did not speak to Tony Khan, I mean Andrade [El Idol] was mixed. I know people there who were not high on Andrade at all and others who were, but Black, from what I gathered, pretty negative. There were even people who quickly said that they were negative on Black. Sometimes, it's funny, but sometimes these things happen..."

In 2026, Dave Meltzer's word can not be trusted as strongly as it used to be - but couple it with Shawn Dean, AEW's extras coordinator, outright saying, "No", when a fan pitched a House of Black reunion, it's safe to assume that Black will not be All Elite any time soon.

Cut from WWE and unwanted in AEW? That leaves TNA as the only suitable destination. Expect Zelina to go with him.

Destination: TNA.
