To the utter delight of the WWE Universe, Aleister Black made a return on SmackDown last week. Black appeared in a vignette reading from a book entitled "The Dark Father."

The Striking Man from Amsterdam sent an ominous message to the WWE Universe and got his fans excited about his potential return. While not much is known at this point, it seems like Black will be returning with a newer and slightly different character.

While WWE did not need to tweak Black’s old character, the new character could offer him a chance to start afresh. Keeping that in mind, WWE must allow Black to appear in vignettes in the weeks to come rather than exposing him in the ring.

Black must continue to drop hints on this week’s SmackDown where he must warn his doubters and suggest that he’s coming back for the top prize.

Not only will this help WWE build Black’s character properly before giving him a top run, but it should also give them a chance to see fans’ reactions on social media before going all out with his new character.

Creative failed to use Black to the max during his first run on the main roster. They must do their best to right that wrong and give him the run he deserves on SmackDown.
