The WWE release of Aleister Black left people puzzled especially because the now-former WWE star had only returned to TV last week and started a new feud.
A new report from Fightful select provides some update on the situation and it notes that the people who were working on the storyline for the former NXT star did not know anything about his release.
The writers were told to stop making pitches for Black recently. Though they were not told the reason behind it and the writers were not aware of his release until the announcement was made.
The former NXT champion returned to WWE TV last week when he attacked Big E during the fatal four-way championship match for the IC title.
Aleister Black’s attack allowed the current champion Apollo Crews to retain his title. This interaction made people believe that we are going to see a feud between the two former champions in near future.
However, the two stars then did not make an appearance on this week’s episode of SmackDown. It’s said that the company had no long-term plan for the feud.
Since Aleister Black has been released before the end of his contracted tenure, it’s likely that he has the standard 90 days non complete clause. So he will have to wait until September for his next move.
