Dave Meltzer of WON has reported that Vince McMahon sees nothing in two former NXT Champions - Andrade and SmackDown Superstar Aleister Black. This could be why Black has not been featured on SmackDown since his feud with Kevin Owens ended.

Aleister Black was touted to become a major star after he joined the main roster. While he did receive a push on RAW when Paul Heyman was the creative head, Black has done nothing since joining SmackDown.

''And Vince does not see anything in Aleister Black, or Andrade, or any of those guys that when Heyman lost his position and I said the guys that are f**ked. The only one that ended up not being completely f**ked was Shayna because I guess they like the idea of Shayna and Nia Jax so she got brought back. But pretty much everybody else they're with Bo Dallas in catering."

Aleister Black's wife Zelina Vega was released from WWE last year and it was speculated that Black might follow suit. While Black is still under contract, it looks like WWE has chosen not to use him at all.
