Alistair Black returned to WWE last night on the post-
WrestleMania episode of Smackdown.
He interrupted an in-ring segment featuring The Miz, who was
complaining about being left out of WrestleMania. Black did
his old WWE entrance, complete with his original NXT theme
song to confront The Miz and quickly took him out.
The 39-year-old will wrestle his first match back with the
company next week, one on one against The Miz.
Black wrestled for WWE between 2016 and 2021 and then the
Dutch star moved to AEW for another four years where the
only title he won was the AEW Trios championship with Brody
King and Buddy Matthews.
He was released from his AEW contract in February of this
year, with his last match being a four-way tag match with
Brody King against Private Party, The Acclaimed, and The
Outrunners at Full Gear in November 2024.
Black only wrestled 55 times in AEW over a four-year period,
most of them being in a tag match.
