5 Superstars Who Could Have Attacked Aleister Black 

Aleister Black was attacked in the parking lot at Full Sail University following the show on Wednesday night and as part of the video that was released by the WWE--And there were many stars in the vicinity at the time that could be held accountable.

Black obviously had his own issues with a few superstars in NXT and since dropping the NXT Championship to Tommaso Ciampa a few weeks ago, he has become a walking target in the WWE's yellow brand.

The curious case of Aleister Black has set the professional wrestling community abuzz as to what may have transpired in the dark, which culminated in the mighty kick-boxer being laid out in a heap.

While Black is rumored to be dealing with legitimate injury issues, owing to which he’s been written off NXT TV, the WWE has continued utilizing him in the yellow brand’s storylines—with the latest angle being that a mysterious person(s) attacked him at the Full Sail parking lot and left him unconscious—thereby removing him from the Triple Threat main event match at NXT TakeOver later this month.

Black has been pulled from his match at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn and instead Ciampa and Johnny Gargano will collide in a Last Man Standing match for the NXT Championship. Black's current condition is unknown since he was found unconscious and taken to a local medical facility.

Furthermore, right now, William Regal has been given the task of finding out exactly what happened that night in Orlando that night. Here are some of the suspects that the NXT General Manager should be looking at--

#5. Lars Sullivan

Sullivan has proved that he could dominate Aleister Black

Lars Sullivan fought Aleister Black at NXT Takeover: Chicago and was on the losing end after falling victim to Black Mass. Sulivan suffered a broken jaw in the match and has been out of action over the past few months as he continued to rehab the injury.

Interestingly, Sullivan returned to action at NXT Live events a few weeks ago and was one of the stars who weren't actually spotted at Full Sail the night of the attack. Lars is smart enough to not be caught, if he was looking to extract some revenge on the Champion who he fell victim to a few months ago.

Sullivan proved many times that he could get the upper hand on Black and he could easily have attacked him from behind and left him unconscious in the middle of a storyline to make it seem as though it was someone else.

#4. Tommaso Ciampa

Ciampa is easily considered to be the prime suspect

Tommaso Ciampa defeated Aleister Black a few weeks ago on NXT to become NXT Champion for the first time in his career.

Ciampa only defeated Black because of interference from Johnny Gargano, and could easily be in the mindset that he knows he won't retain his title in a triple threat match, and therefore he needs to get rid of one of his challengers.

Ciampa is smart, so he knows that the odds are stacked against him at Takeover: Brooklyn since he wouldn't have had to be pinned to lose his title. Despite how smart he is, Ciampa was still spotted at Full Sail University in the parking lot minutes after the attack so it appears that Ciampa is one of the biggest suspects in the case right now.

#3. Adam Cole/ Undisputed Era

Adam Cole and Aleister Black have had their own fair share of issues

Adam Cole and Aleister Black have had their own fair share of issues over the past few months and even though Cole has the North American Championship around his waist right now, he could be overlooking the challenge of Ricochet and thinking about the main event picture.

Ricochet was ambushed by The Undisputed Era earlier this week on NXT and Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong and Adam Cole were spotted in the parking lot at Full Sail attempting to leave the scene afterward. Since Black was completely unconscious, it's entirely feasible that all four men could have attacked Black.

#2. Johnny Gargano

Gargano and Black have had a number of recent altercations

Johnny Gargano may be the babyface in this scenario but he should also be considered the biggest suspect in the attack. The former Tag Team Champion had an altercation with Black a few weeks ago when he delivered the Black Mass to Gargano, a shot that he stated that he deserved before they went one-on-one last week.

Gargano looked past Black in his NXT Championship match against Ciampa and cost him the title when he interfered in the match. It's obvious that Gargano's issues with Ciampa are far from over and he could easily have attacked Black to ensure that he gets his former friend one-on-one in Brooklyn.

Gargano was spotted at Full Sail the night of the attack when he was coming back into the building, and could easily have attacked the former NXT Champion just minutes before.

#1. Parking Lot Prowler

The NXT parking lot isn't a safe place

The parking lot at Full Sail University isn't a safe place, as evidenced by Hideo Itami who was attacked and put out of action back in May 2015 as part of NXT Takeover: Unstoppable. Itami was out for so long that WWE never actually confirmed who attacked him in the parking lot even though Kevin Owens was the main suspect at the time.

The attack came from out of nowhere but it was ahead of a triple threat match once again, and now there are a number of people who could be known as "The Parking Lot Prowler."

The likes of Sami Zayn, Finn Balor, Tye Dillinger, Tyler Breeze and Kevin Owens are all still part of WWE and were around back in 2015, so right now there are a few people who could be seen as the offender here.
