The former WWE SmackDown star had said he was clueless where things were going with his character and the return. All he knew was that it was supposed to begin this Friday on SmackDown.
He further spoke on wrestling journalists, it seemed like he was taking a jibe at sites like Fightful who have premium services.
He said:
“Don’t waste your money on it. It’s 5% truth, 95% fiction. I get it, negativity sells but oh, sign up to my patreon for news about Thea – there is no news. It’s bullshit and damaging.”
Black also revealed that they had created a new entrance theme for his return that he said was even better than the one he had before. We will see what is next for Black.
