Vince Russo noted on the Coach and Bro show that Black was disappointed with getting replaced by Pat McAfee and “popped off” to the wrong person, which led to his departure.

“My source told me that Aleister Black was released, and of course, his wife is gonna go with him. He was released because he was originally in that WrestleMania main event storyline, and then they went to Pat McAfee. They switched from him to McAfee, and he popped off to the wrong person, and that’s why he was released.”

Aleister Black had a lacklustre second run with WWE

Aleister Black returned to the World Wrestling Entertainment in 2025 after being away from the company for nearly four years. With Triple H being in charge of the WWE creative this time, fans had high hopes for the star’s second stint with the company. However, that was not the case as Black was released after just a year and was not involved in any prominent feuds.

Zelina Vega, Black’s real-life wife, was also among those who departed from WWE post-WrestleMania 42. It is still unclear what is next for the two. While a report claimed that Aleister was in talks with Tony Khan for an AEW return, it was shortly dismissed by another news outlet.

Black’s previous run with AEW was also nothing to write home about. The 40-year-old remained absent from TV programming for long periods of time due to injury and creative reasons.
