“I Was Kinda Surprised” – Aleister Black Shares His Thoughts on Braun Strowman’s WWE Release
June 2, 2021, would go down in wrestling history, as WWE released prominent superstars like Braun Strowman, Aleister Black, Lana, Ruby Riott, Murphy, and more. This sudden release did not sit right with fans and superstars alike.
However, no shock comes close to Aleister Black getting released. He returned to the main roster two weeks ago under a new dark gimmick, only to be dropped.
After his initial shock, Black went on to former WWE superstar Zelina Vega’s Twitch account to address a few topics. There he gave a strong rebuttal to the accusations against WWE creative team. Instead, he blamed his release on the “slow death” over the last few years.
Speaking on his Twitch account, Aleister Black gives a staunch defence of WWE creative, saying ‘don’t be mad’ at them, that they’re
‘creative, talented people.’Says he is thankful for the platform WWE gave him but that the ‘last few years’ were a ‘slow death’ for him.

While he had a direction in NXT, that was lost when he came to the main roster. There were even plans of him going back to the gold and black brand before he got the new gimmick. Apparently, his new character was set to launch this Friday on SmackDown.
Apart from his own dilemma, Black also spoke about his fellow wrestlers who were released. “I was kinda surprised they let Braun go. Ruby, I was bummed out about,” Black said. “I was bummed out about everyone.. some of them never got a shot at anything.”
