WWE did an angle after this week’s episode of NXT that showed Aleister Black knocked out in the parking lot before William Regal made the call to pull him from the upcoming NXT Championship match at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn. This was done to write him off television because he suffered a legitimate injury earlier this month.
Aleister has since then taken to his Instagram account and posted two photos with the captions, “RIP Aleister Black / Long live Aleister Black” and “So it begins.” You can check them out below.
