Does Paul Heyman have an issue with Aleister Black or is he looking for Black to be the next ‘Paul Heyman Guy’? Both of these seem to be within the realm of discussion after Paul Heyman and company discussed the re-emergence of Black during the most recent edition of the very successful and popular WWE post-show, Talking Smack. Paul Heyman recently dropped this Daniel Bryan return bombshell as well.
During the program, which is co-hosted by Paul and WWE personality Kayla Braxton, Heyman was seemingly in shock over the return of the former NXT Champion, stating that he couldn’t reach Black for several months. Aleister Black, of course came back to WWE programming this past week on WWE Smackdown after a round of vignettes, to seemingly help Apollo Crews retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Black would hit his finisher, the ‘Black Mass’ on former champion, Big E to allow Crews to pick up the pinfall victory.
Heyman would state the following regarding Black. Credit to SportsKeeda for the below quote.
“This thing about ignoring Aleister’s involvement… bulls***,” Heyman said. “I’ll tell you why. I’m envious, and the reason why I’m envious is obecause I’ve been reaching out for Aleister Black for six, seven months now. I had ideas for Aleister Black, I had plans for Aleister Black. Ghosted me, couldn’t reach him. Disappeared, poof, thin air.”
