Wesley Blake Speaks On The Release Of Aleister Black
Among the six wrestlers that have been released by the WWE has to be Aleister Black. WWE kept promoting his return via promo packages for months. He just made his return two weeks ago on SmackDown. Fans were expecting to see an amazing feud between Black and Big E.
In the long history of WWE, no decision has ever felt so clueless compared to this. Just last week, WWE released 14 more wrestlers. It is quite clear that WWE is desperate to make some budget cut and they must be up for something.
Wesley Blake recently spoke to the Wrestling Inc. Daily where he talked on the release of Aleister Black and he also talked about his own release. He said;
“It’s great. I love Tommy. When he first got into NXT, I actually, I want to say one of the first live events, got to wrestle him, and it’s just really cool to me. The great thing about being in NXT for so long is I got to work with a lot of great talents, from all different sides of the world, and so when he came in, obviously, he helped elevate NXT, the brand itself, but it’s just cool to see his style, his take on wrestling and stuff like that.
“We could sit there for hours just spitballing ideas, just talking wrestling and life, and so that was a really cool experience when I got to wrestle on these live events and stuff like that. I got to wrestle him at the finals in the Dusty Classic with Steve [Maclin] and myself, which was by far one of my favorite tag matches to date.
“Tommy, I’m sorry that you got released. That was a total shock and surprise. I mean, that whole group of people really, even the group that I was in. There was so many talented people, and I have no doubt that they’re going to land on their feet somewhere and be successful, whatever they want to do, but with Tommy being now a free agent, hopefully an opportunity presents itself where we share the ring together again.”
