Aleister Black is done speaking in riddles, or is he?
Following his in-ring victory last week over The Miz, we heard from Aleister Black tonight on WWE SmackDown before his match against Carmelo Hayes. In a dark room, Black explained to the WWE Universe why he chose to return to the company.
“I expect this is the part where you expect me to speak in riddles,” Aleister Black said. “To pick up where I left off? Well, that part of myself, that man, I buried him ritualistically, violently. And funny enough, what I found six feet deep, it wasn’t death. No, it was the truth.
“And the truth is, I came back because I truly believe that I am the consequence that this company so desperately needs. See, I am just the man that whispers in shadows, despite what you want me to do, despite what you think I might do, and when I say that, I don’t mean that in a villainous way. No, this is so much bigger than just good versus evil.
“This is more than just the fog, because this will cut deeper than any symbol ever could, anything that I could ever do, I’m here to confront you both mentally and physically, and you get to decide which one is worse. And as for you, Carmello, I haven’t quite figured you out, or have I?”
Black certainly seems to have figured Hayes out, as he picked up another victory on tonight’s show.
