WWE TLC 2019: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The Bad - Aleister Black as a babyface

When two men compete with all they have, it's difficult to put one of them in the bad category, but despite putting on a stellar bout against Buddy Murphy, Aleister Black simply failed to get over as a babyface.

Since coming up to the main roster from NXT just before WrestleMania 35, Black has found it difficult to find a niche on RAW or SmackDown. Those struggles have only continued lately.

Black is covered in dark macabre tattoos, is rumored to dabble in the occult, and speaks in a terrifyingly soft voice just like one of wrestling's greatest heels: Jake 'The Snake' Roberts. Black also seemingly spends an exorbitant amount of time alone in a dark room, pondering horrific and violent acts against WWE's main roster talent.

His ring entrance is right out of a horror film - he springs to life like a vampire rising from his casket for a midnight snack. Some have even gone as far as labeling Black the next Undertaker.

With all that stated, the former NXT Champion is an obvious cant-miss heel, but undeterred by the obvious, he has been consistently marketed as a face. Even The Undertaker, one of the most beloved WWE Superstars in history, began his career as a heel before the WWE Universe began to fall in love with his dark brooding persona.

Black is astounding in the ring and that trend only continued in his TLC victory against Murphy. He gave all he had, left the ring bloodied, suffering what appears to be a broken nose and possibly dislocated jaw.

However, there's still one major problem with Black. He does nothing to differentiate himself from the heels he faces. Without Jerry Lawler's remarks on commentary or Murphy's heelish antics inside the ring, fans would have probably never even known that Black is indeed supposed to be the good guy, which will undoubtedly prove to be a major problem for him heading forward.
