Aleister Black has a new look.
The former NXT Champion and his wife, Zelina Vega, were released from WWE on April 24 this year, a day short of a year since Black’s much hyped return to the company in 2025.
Many of the names who were released alongside the wrestling couple have since returned to the ring, including the Motor City Machine Guns, who joined AEW last week.

While there is still no word on what Aleister Black is planning for his future, he did give us the first look at his post-WWE self with a new video. The video posted on his Instagram on Thursday shows the former WWE star debuting a new bald look as he showcases his various combat abilities:
The former AEW star is a free agent and able to sign a new contract with another promotion if he chooses. Though it’s possible that he will take to the independent scene to rebuild himself first.
