Aleister Black rose to fame on NXT when he showcased his incredible Black Mass kick that won him the NXT Championship a few months later. Black's kicks have always been his main form of offense in the ring and this is seemingly because he has a background in martial arts.

Black competed in various martial arts such as kickboxing and Pencak Silat from the age of 9 to 15 and still continues to train in kickboxing alongside his current in-ring training. Black has used the skills he has acquired from years of martial arts training and become a lethal striker in the ring with kickboxing being one of the biggest influences on his in-ring style.

It will be interesting to see if WWE allows him to unveil more of his impressive move-set on the main roster in the coming months.
