Aleister Black Tells Fans Not To Get Mad At WWE Creative, Says Bruce Prichard Protected Him

As we reported last week, Aleister Black was one of several talents released from WWE, along with Braun Strowman, Lana and others. In a stream on Twitch (via Fightful), Aleister Black told his fans not to be mad at WWE Creative for his lack of push, as they tried to work with him and he had a good relationship with Bruce Prichard. He stated the following:

“Money in the Bank with AJ, when I stepped out of the dark and into the dark, that was the first time I did what I wanted to do. It got praised. Don’t get mad at our creative. They try their absolute hardest and there are good people working there. I’m very thankful for our creative and have had a good relationship with Bruce [Prichard]. He tried to protect me in a lot of situations. He wanted to get me out of the room. The consensus was ‘no one moves like him or has his intensity.’ My style was a hybrid of traditional wrestling and new age striking. In the last five years, I’ve proven to be one of the most influential strikers of this generation and I will continue to do that.“
