#2 WWE SmackDown Superstar Aleister Black has been absent for five months now
With the boundless potential to be a tremendous Superstar in WWE for years to come, it's rather surprising that the company hasn't used Aleister Black since October 2020. Since being drafted to SmackDown, Black hasn't made a single appearance, and fans have no idea why he's being held back.
While reports suggested that WWE might have something big planned for him upon his return, nothing has transpired. A former NXT Champion, Black had instantly struck a chord with the fans upon his main roster debut. His eerie demeanor and hypnotic presence had ensured the Superstar can stay relevant due to his tremendous character work.

Defeating Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania 36 made fans believe Black's time in WWE had finally come, and a main event push was only a matter of time. Yet, almost a year later, the former NXT Champion is nowhere to be seen. Ironically enough, while Lashley is on course to become the WWE Champion, the man who defeated him last year is not even in the consideration to appear on TV.
