When Aleister Black was absent from SmackDown for over half a year, there were questions about whether he would end up on the chopping block. Right around the time of the WWE releases, it was revealed that the company had begun filming vignettes for Black's return to SmackDown.

Surely enough, the rumors were true, and for most weeks this past month, we've had small vignettes teasing Aleister Black's return. But that doesn't mean that he will be expected back immediately.

It isn't clear as to when WWE plans to bring him back to SmackDown, but what better time to do it than on the first episode post-pay-per-view? It could be a surprise return where he attacks a top star, particularly a babyface to announce his arrival.

It's hard to think of a name, especially since Shinsuke Nakamura seems to be in a feud with King Corbin. Either way, a return to SmackDown would be perfect, especially in a time where more top names are needed on the roster.
