Aleister Black was seemingly on his way to a big program when he was released by WWE on June 2.
Vignettes began airing for Black in April where he debuted his new Dark Father character. On the May 21 episode of SmackDown, Black took out Big E, costing him the Intercontinental Championship in a fatal four-way bout.
There was no follow-up to the angle on the May 28 episode of WWE SmackDown and then Black was released.
Speaking on Twitch, Black revealed that he was supposed to have new music with the new character.
"We just created a new song for Aleister Black and you guys didn't get to hear it. It was the best one so far. I had a hand in creating and writing it. I'm sure they'll use it on someone else. No Man's Land, the original version, I have the audio rights. When I come back, I will have my own song," he said.
Black's character was always a mysterious type and his tattoos and overall presence sparked debate about his real life.
"The first conversation I had, I said to Hunter, 'I want to be all the metal bands the kids use to rebel.' It's cliche, but it's relatable. When you're young, it's so difficult to be understood by a different generation. My character was a cool dude and mysterious but had a hard hitting style and was relatable to the point of, 'I understand what he's going through.' There are people convinced I'm part of Illuminati or I sacrifice kids. People believed these things. People want to see what they want to see, especially dumb people. WWE had to kill channels because they were slandering me. People are gullible enough to get into that and I take pride that I've walked this line for a very long time. These things have parallels to my actual life, like the Dark Father was my childhood, but obviously, I'm not some Devil worshipping guy. I'm an atheist," he said, explaining that because he doesn't believe in Gods, he doesn't believe in a Devil.
Elsewhere during his stream, Black revealed he was supposed to win the US Title at some point in 2020. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
