After a four -year stage at All Elite Wrestling, Aleister Black He returned to his previous house, WWE, in the SmackDown episode after Wrestlemania. The Dutch fighter not only recovered his old name, but also his previous character, his musical theme and his characteristic entrance.
All this made him feel very comfortable on his return, although he had to overcome the initial nerves, as the fighter confessed in an interview with The Atomic Drop Newsletter on the occasion of the promotion of WWE CLAMH in Paris, the PLE that the company will celebrate in the French capital at the end of August.
“I've been thinking about that a lot and I feel that it happened very organically. I think that the first day I returned, physically being between racks, you know, walk, talking to people and being, in quotes, reintroduced to the company and all that, It was strange, you know? Because it was like a mixed sensation of nostalgia and familiarity, while there is something unknownbecause obviously, no matter how much the structure is the same, internally, its guts have been reorganized, if that makes sense, since it is no longer the same people who are in command, but at the same time, it is the same people with whom I connected the first time, “Black said.
“Y I remember that I was very nervous, but then I realized that everything felt the same, in the best senseand then I thought: 'Why are you so nervous? You know all these people. ' And at that moment it was very strange. It was as if all my anxiety simply disappeared. And I thought: yes, this time is even betterDo you know what I mean? “He explained.
“Because I have always had a good relationship with Triple H, and I get along with Nick Khan, and the costume He felt like returning homeand I know that a little cliché sounds, but I had never experienced that feeling of returning home in that sense, and I think it was the first time I could say that he felt like returning home and that everything made sense again“, said.
“I was in that system for eight years and it is a completely different system from any other. Nothing is like wweno costumes you have been like, and I simply felt that this is what is supposed to be doingYou know?”
“I was very excited to return, of course, and as I said at the beginning, everything was a little driven by anxiety. But then, once you walk around and start feeling everything, you tell yourself: 'Hey, you know all these people, you know all this and everyone are simply doing what they have always done, and everything is fine,' It works, everything marches so fluently. Then, we prepare for the show, and there we go, rock and roll, all going in the same direction, and that is simply a very good feeling, “he concluded.
