#2. Aleister Black

Maybe he's chained to a chair backstage which is why he keeps asking someone to pick a fight with him.

Unlike Buddy Murphy, Aleister Black has at least been featured in backstage vignettes weekly since the Superstar Shake Up concluded.

While those promos need to turn into a match extremely soon, it doesn't matter because once he returns to the ring, he'll remind the fans of his ability. He stands out with his tattoos and can back up anything his does in the ring on the mic. The 'Black Mass' kick is also one of the most devastating and visually stunning finishers in all of pro wrestling.

There's a reason why he was an NXT Champion and basically went undefeated with Ricochet as a tag team once they both debuted on Raw and SmackDown (though they did lost at NXT Takeover: New York). He needs to be treated as dangerous as Bray Wyatt was initially but with much better booking.

WWE needs an alternative Superstar to push (if he's a face) in contrast to the clean-cut good guys like Kofi Kingston and the former Daniel Bryan. Like 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and CM Punk, they represented anti-heroes but were both so good at the craft that they eventually appealed to everyone.

Black could be next in that mold if WWE treats him with some respect rather than feeding him to Roman Reigns or Lars Sullivan or someone lower in the WWE hierarchy. They have a bonafide star in their hands, so they'll have only themselves to blame if they book him poorly.
