Aleister Black has been off WWE television since the Draft, where he was sent to SmackDown. His wife Thea Trinidad (Zelina Vega) was released from WWE, and the speculation was that he was purposely being kept off TV, and his future with the company was possibly bleak.

One part of that speculation may have been right - WWE purposely kept him off television. But it isn't for the reason fans think. According to Mike Johnson on PWInsider Elite, WWE is planning a big, dramatic debut for Aleister Black:

"I was told he was purposely pulled from television so he come back and have a big dramatic debut for SmackDown, and it just hasn't happened."

We hope this is true because the best run of his WWE main roster career was during Paul Heyman's tenure as Executive Director. He proved that he had the tools to be a main event star, and it's still possible. Hopefully, he gets the push that he deserves.
