Many fans were not happy with WWE releasing Aleister Black. It appears that there are a lot of people within the company who feel the same and believe that he should be brought back to the promotion.
PWInsider had reported earlier this month that there were some people within the promotion who were already pushing for the former NXT champion’s return to the company following his release.
In an update to the story, the site notes that people going ‘all the way up to top WWE executives’ believe that Black’s release was a premature decision. There has been talk of AEW being interested in signing the former champion.
These rumors have sparked additional discussion within WWE. People are second-guessing about firing the former NXT star after spending time rebooting his character.
Aleister Black was released from his contract on June 2. His firing was especially surprising for people as Black had only made his return to WWE TV on the May 21 episode of SmackDown after a long hiatus.
We saw Samoa Joe, who was also released from his main roster contract, making his comeback recently. He signed a new deal with NXT and returned to the brand as the special enforcer on this week’s episode of the show.
It remains to be seen if the officials will make a similar decision with Aleister. Though these reports at least confirm that there is some talk of doing the same.
