5 things you didn't know about WWE's Aleister Black 

#1. He was scared of the dark until he was 14

Aleister Black's character seems to be centered around his love of the dark and the fact that he's a worshipper of Satan. This is why it comes as such a shock that Black hasn't been like this his whole life. The current RAW superstar recently spoke to Lilian Garcia on her Chasing Glory podcast, where he was able to reveal that he was actually scared of the dark until he was 14 years old.

"Yes, frightened, like a paralyzing fear of the dark. I think I was reading too much about stuff I shouldn’t have been reading about. I had an interest in the occult brought forth by things from my childhood and conversations with my grandfather. Sometimes when I have to put into words what made me me, I don’t even know where to begin sometimes.

"I’m proving to myself that there is nothing to be afraid of and it works and at one point I had a conversation with myself and said, ‘You can do two things. You can be frightened for the rest of your life or you can just go out there as a brave 13 or 14 year old and face it head on.’ That’s what I did and after that my mind started calming down from everything and I started liking being in the dark more and I felt more energized at night. I think it’s also kind of where my reclusiveness comes from. I like being on my own all the time."
