Aleister Black & Zelina Vega on Being Married While In WWE, Being Mentored By Rock & Undertaker

Aleister Black and Zelina Vega appeared on Robbie and Carly and discussed their real life marriage and how they manage it while working in WWE. Zelina also discussed how The Rock became a mentor to her, while Aleister talked about The Undertaker mentoring him. Highlights of their comments are below.

On being married while in WWE:

Aleister Black: “I think in order to be successful in any discipline, you have to be completely absorbed in it. And also, our school is attached to our house, our training center is attached to our house, so we’re always busy with wrestling. Sure there are other things we do, but for the most part, we are very good at having the wrestling but then also saying, alright, now we’re gonna do so and so, has nothing to do with wrestling. We have a normal life outside of being professional wrestlers or working with WWE.”

Zelina Vega: “Our 10 cats help with that.”

Zelina Vega on how The Rock stood up for her when she was ready to call it quits:

“Every year I had a tryout and it was always like, you’re too small or you’re too this, or not enough of this. By the time I had that conversation with him [The Rock], I was like, I think this is it, I think I’m done, I’ve reached my end with this, and he’s like, just give me three days, I’m working on something, and that’s when he called me and told me and said, ‘I want you to be my Divas Champion, I don’t just see you as a girl who is part of WWE or just a girlfriend, or just a brown girl, you’re the girl. So I’d like you to be my Divas Champion.'”

“So I’m like, what the heck is that. That was the craziest call I ever had. I think when it comes to that, it’s cool to look back and feel there was a reason I was on this path.”

Aleister Black on how The Undertaker has been a mentor to him:

“Terry Taylor, William Regal, Robbie Brookside, Hunter himself. Undertaker is someone who, he graciously took time to sit me down and talk to me about a bunch of stuff, kind of give me his perspective on certain things. To be honest, there are so many great minds, even like Paul Heyman, obviously Paul was always a big proponent of me and still is and will give me great feedback and I’m very thankful to these gentlemen to be in my corner the way they are.”

A recent report noted that Aleister Black could return to AEW in the future if he wanted, though for now, he and Zelina are likely happy with WWE following their recent returns.
