Kassius Ohno and Aleister Black are closer than just friends

Aleister Black had quite the career before he made it to WWE, which includes him working the European and American Independent circuit under the ring name Tommy End. Whilst Black was touring the European scene he met Kassius Ohno and trained alongside him early in his career.

Black has stated that he sees Ohno as a valued mentor and the duo have been able to work together numerous times over the years as recently as 2016 when they were teamed together as "Heroes Never Die" and wrestled for a number of promotions both together and against each other including PWG, Progress and Evolve.

One of the best matches that the duo had against each other came in the semi-finals of PROGRESS Wrestling Super Strong Style 16 back in 2016 where Black came out on top over his mentor in what is considered to be one of the best wrestling matches of that year.
