5 WWE Superstars who need a push before the Royal Rumble

#4 Aleister Black (WWE SmackDown)

Aleister Black was a dominant star of WWE NXT from 2017 to 2019 and was involved in some huge storylines on the Black and Gold Brand at the time. In the two-year period, Aleister Black won the NXT Championship and the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic with Ricochet.

In early 2019, both Black and Ricochet were drafted to RAW. They later competed in matches for both the RAW and SmackDown Tag Team Championships, but were unsuccessful. The pair were later split to pursue singles stardom, with mixed results.

Black has often moved from RAW to SmackDown since arriving on the main roster in WWE. The star has been involved in a handful of significant feuds, including against each member of The OC alone. He also had a later rivalry with Seth Rollins, in which he appeared to lose his eye.

Since then, Black has appeared on WWE television wearing an eye patch and has also turned heel for the first time since joining the company. However, he has not been seen on WWE programming since it was announced that he had been drafted to SmackDown.

Aleister Black's future career in WWE seems uncertain, especially after the release of his wife Zelina Vega due to her opposing WWE's plans regarding performers using third-party platforms. Black is a huge talent, but hasn't had the opportunity to shine on the main roster since his move from NXT.
