If you search for Tommy End on YouTube, it will not take long to find old footage of Aleister Black before he made his way to WWE.

Black (real name Tom Budgen) worked for promotions all around the world between 2002 and 2016, meaning he was already somewhat of a veteran before he signed with WWE and joined the NXT roster in early 2017.

“The Dutch Destroyer” went on to have a huge amount of success in NXT, winning the NXT Championship in 2018, before moving to both the WWE RAW and WWE SmackDown rosters in 2019.

When you think of Black’s unique look, his tattoos are probably the first thing that come to mind. However, interviews from his pre-WWE days show that the dark and mysterious Superstar did not have much facial hair, if any, before he joined Vince McMahon’s company.

The picture above comes from an interview that Black took part in alongside his tag team partner at the time, Michael Dante, with wrestling promotion HCW Hungary. You can check it out here.
