Update On Rumors That Aleister Black Wanted To Go Back To NXT

It was reported earlier this week that Aleister Black asked if he could be sent back to NXT, similar to how Finn Balor and Ember Moon have returned there, but was denied. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that while this is technically true, it’s not exactly what had been reported previously.

According to the Observer, Black didn’t directly ask anyone. He had simply “floated the idea” of returning to NXT and “nobody seemed interested” when he did.
