Aleister Black WWE Return Major Update

WWE

An update on Aleister Black’s potential WWE return following the expiration of his AEW contract last month.

Malakai Black’s contract with AEW expired last month, with him now officially a free agent.

Malakai had long been speculated for a potential return to WWE prior to his AEW departure, and it was reported shortly after his AEW departure that he was expected to return to the company.

On tonight’s episode of SmackDown, we seemingly got an update on Aleister Black’s WWE future, when a mysterious vignette aired.

The vignette simply showed smoke on a black background, with the number 4 appearing on the screen, which many have taken to be a tease for the return of Aleister Black.

Another vignette for a former AEW star aired on tonight’s SmackDown show, which you can see here.
