WWE superstar and former NXT champion Aleister Black was a recent guest on WWE Backstage to hype his appearance in Sunday’s Money In The Bank pay per view, and discuss all things pro-wrestling. Highlights from the interview are below.
Getting advice from Paul Heyman:
I was having this thought after me and Paul [Heyman] were on the phone. I’ll hang up and an hour later — it’s so strange that people, like yourself, like Paul Heyman, people like Edge and many, many more are people I can call on to to give me advice, give me a mindset, and help further my game within the WWE. Never in a million years did I think some kid from Amsterdam would be in a position not only would he be in the Money in the Bank and a fan favorite, but be informed and led by people like Paul Heyman. It’s mind blowing … it’s necessary to have these people in my close circle because that is what’s going to elevate me to the next stage within the WWE.
On the success of his wife, Zelina Vega:
She’s an incredibly talented individual and she’s only been able to show a glimpse of what she can do. I think in the coming months and year, you’re only going to see an expansion of people who she’s going to take under her wings and guide. The amount of time the company has given her now right now — situations like this create unique opportunities for people and some people step up to the plate, and some people don’t. I think she has not only stepped up to the plate, she’s stepped over the plate. She’s been hitting it out of the park.
