During this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW, Aleister Black made his return to the show. He was taken out of action last month at the hands of Murphy and Rollins.
Black then did something shocking which fans did not expect. He turned heel against Kevin Owens, instead of going after Rollins and Murphy. During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer explained why WWE went this direction.
“Kevin needs an opponent because originally he was supposed to face Seth, but Rey re-signed so now [Owens] has an opponent so it just is what it is.”
Fans will see Owens and Black feud. Their match has not been announced for WWE Payback as of yet, but that can happen at any time on social media.
