Aleister Black's return could be absolutely perfect if booked correctly

Aleister Black vs. Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship is certainly a fight guaranteed to happen at some point. But it should not happen too soon because there's no chance that Roman Reigns will come up short in such an encounter.

The mistake that WWE made with The Fiend was to put him in a title feud far too soon, long before he was ready, which is why the fiasco at Hell in a Cell with Seth Rollins happened. Aleister Black should build to his WWE Universal Championship spot, maybe later in the year!

For Aleister Black to enter the WWE Universal Championship right away would expose the fact that his character isn't fleshed out enough for the very top spot.

Moreover, it will kill his mystique if Aleister Black comes up short against Roman Reigns. There are enough heels on SmackDown for Black to pick a fight with, before he arrives at the table of the feared Tribal Chief.
