Malakai Black Slams WWE Main Roster’s ‘Bipolar’ Booking

Aleister Black had a remarkable time in NXT as he became the NXT Champion and had several excellent matches. However, when he was called up to the main roster, Aleister Black largely floundered.

Aleister Black had been absent from WWE television for quite a few months as creative had no plans for him. Despite making a return on Friday Night Smackdown back in May and starting a new feud with Big E, Black was released by WWE.

Aleister Black has previously detailed how the last two years of his time in WWE were like a slow death and he had a lot of trouble dealing with WWE Creative on numerous aspects. After his AEW debut, he now goes by the name Malakai Black.

While speaking to Metal Injection, Malakai Black made it clear he did not enjoy his time on the WWE main roster and criticized the main roster’s bipolar 50-50 booking.

“I was sick of it, even before everything went down. I loved my time in NXT, but I felt I did nothing of importance on the main roster. It was too much bipolar 50-50 booking, they would push me and pull me off TV.

Honestly, that’s [50-50 booking] the entire product right now. There’s nothing really consistent. Everything changes week to week, or is done to the point of beating it to death.”

With Malakai Black now finally in AEW, his feud with Cody Rhodes continues to be built. We will have to see how Malakai Black’s character will flourish in the company.
