Man, Aleister Black is so dark and moody.

He's also dank and moldy

A Geico caveman ad? Did I step through a wormhole?

[Zone Was Wrong]

Whoever was on the lighting must of forgot about dimming the lights while he was going to the ring. A change in lighting can really effect an wrestler entrance.

“Four NXT stars were brought up, they were not at the Elimination Chamber. I can tell you from speaking to a number of people who work on the main roster, no one seemed to have any knowledge or understanding that they were coming to work the show. When they showed up, there was definitely some side eye at these guys going ‘ok, why are they all here? why are they all working Raw?’ There were definitely some talents who have been brought up within the last couple of months who really have kind of just floated around not due to their issues but just due to how they were treated on creative. They were kind of like ‘oh, are they coming for my spot? what’s going on here?'”

Johnson continued, “For the first time in a while, not that there was anger or resentment against the quartet that showed up last night [but] we definitely heard some feedback from some WWE talents who were paying closer attention to their own spot and what these talents coming up could mean for their spot. I don’t mean people who just came up to the roster from NXT. I’m talking about existing mid-card talent who haven’t gotten a lot or are just starting to get a little bit of a push again. There was definitely some whispering among each other like ‘hey what’s going on here?'” - Mike Johnson from PWI

I'm still trying to find out why they couldnt wait till post mania, because this just makes an already bloated roster with zero direction even worse.

Can’t help but feel they’re ruining Black entrance by showing the apparatus he rises up in. Looks so much cooler in NXT where he looks like he’s just appearing in the smoke.

Aleister Black enters like Dracula. Can we call him Aleister Blacula?

It's even worse on SmackDown when you have wrestlers who have not been used in MONTHS. Unlike RAW, there's no Main Event for them to at least do anything to show the world they're still alive or something, so WWE can cut them at any time.

Cole runs out from backstage with a mic screaming "HE'S MOODY HE'S, WELL, MOODY!!"

How else will we know about Aleister, well, Black!?

Aleister is here to beat your beloved heels on both shows.

Thanks to WWE not knowing how to not bitchify their faces.

Poor Andrade.

Does Aleister Black still have both names or did they already get him?

You know what, good.

I'm not saying people need to be backstabbing each other, but the complacent people Ambrose spoke about need to be weeded out.

Well hasn't that always been the gig though? People are gonna come up from NXT, that's just how it goes.

I can't believe how sloppy these debuts are though.

Black still has been presented better on Smackdown than RAW

I think it's cute how Zelina's there during Black's first SDL match. Nice how things end up.

Lol, wow I just realized that...

Black vs. Andrade? Ohhhhh shit.

You know Takeover: New Orleans slapped when their match was the THIRD best of the night.

Jog my memory, what was the second best?

[Deleted]

I know people have been down on Nak's main roster run for the most part, but I still want to see him vs. Black. I think Aleister could get something out of him the way Rusev does.

[Deleted]

ok SKY, I'll join the fight for my world with the WWF

[Deleted]

And, having mentioned that, here's that Bingo I promised months ago, though I should replace Rowan with Andrade.
