Aleister Black’s WWE Return Could Shift SmackDown Dynamics

STAMFORD, Conn. — Rumors are swirling that former AEW star Aleister Black, now known as Malakai Black, may make his anticipated return to WWE SmackDown. As tensions rise on the blue brand, Black’s comeback could aid The Miz, who is in the crosshairs of the newly transferred Wyatt Sicks.

The Wyatt Sicks, comprised of Bo Dallas and others, have yet to make their debut on SmackDown. However, they appear to have set their sights on the Miz after he turned on Uncle Howdy’s group during a recent edition of Monday Night RAW. The Miz’s betrayal has not been forgotten, and payback seems imminent.

“The Miz is a target now,” said a source close to the situation. “Once Wyatt Sicks makes their appearance, it’s clear they will be coming for him.”

Black’s AEW contract has reportedly expired, and speculation is mounting that a return to WWE could happen soon. While some anticipated his return at the Royal Rumble, that did not transpire, leaving fans hopeful for his reentry into the WWE fold.

Notably, Black’s return might intertwine with the storyline involving the Wyatt Sicks and the Miz. Reports suggest that Black could join the group as its sixth member, escalating the drama leading up to WrestleMania 41.

WrestleMania is shaping up to be a pivotal event this season, as Black and Bo Dallas could potentially face off. “There are whispers about a feud building between them,” the source added.

In another twist, Alexa Bliss recently returned to WWE at Royal Rumble after nearly two years away. She sparked further intrigue with her cryptic message during her match against Candice LeRae, indicating a possible link to Uncle Howdy’s faction.

The Wyatt Sicks’ official social media accounts have sent hints about Bliss’s involvement, including a one-word tweet stating “SHE,” which many fans interpret as a strong signal of her alignment with the group.

As speculation grows, fans eagerly await the Wyatt Sicks’ first appearance on SmackDown and what role Aleister Black may play in the unfolding saga. The stage is set for an explosive return and unexpected alliances.

WWE’s storytelling continues to captivate audiences, and the pending tensions between Black, the Miz, and the Wyatt Sicks promise to bring high-stakes drama as WrestleMania approaches.
