Former NXT Champion Aleister Black hasn't been seen on WWE programming since October when he was drafted over to SmackDown. It's currently unclear what the future holds for The Dutch Destroyer.

Black is a star who has always been open about his mental health struggles. He has used his story to inspire his fanbase. Following his move over to SmackDown last year, Black opened up to Sports Illustrated regarding his recent struggles with his mental health:

‘The biggest problem is that, for people who have mental health problems, there are no words, there is no care, and there are no things you can say to someone having an anxiety attack or on the edge of what they’re mentally capable of. ‘If the world starts to understand that part, it would mean a great deal. Sometimes, for people who have mental health problems, just being there is enough. Being able to let them talk and hear their voice."

Black went on to state that his wife, former WWE Superstar Zelina Vega, was a huge help for him just by being there:

"But the fact she’ll be in the room with me, there with me, makes all the difference," he admitted. "Knowing that there are people who care for you and won’t try to undermine what you’re feeling or influence how you should be feeling, that is very meaningful."

Current rumors suggest that Black could make his WWE return in the near future after the former Champion was recently spotted at The Performance Center.
