⚡ “The Undertaker Rebuilt Me” – Aleister Black Opens Up About The Deadman’s Life-Changing Role In His WWE Comeback ⚡
Every great WWE comeback has a story — and Aleister Black’s return might just top them all. But behind the dark mystique, chilling entrance, and flawless kicks lies a secret mentor who helped shape his rebirth: The Undertaker.
After nearly four long years away, Aleister Black made a jaw-dropping return on the April 25, 2025 episode of SmackDown in Fort Worth, Texas. Fans erupted as the former AEW star — once known as Malakai Black — stepped back into a WWE ring with vengeance in his eyes.
Black’s comeback wasn’t just about a career move. It was personal. Tired of AEW’s creative roadblocks and inspired by Triple H’s promise of artistic freedom, Black felt it was time to return to his true home. Add in the opportunity to share the stage with his wife, Zelina Vega, and the stars finally aligned.
Fast forward to October 2025 — and Black’s momentum is unstoppable. His brutal Last Man Standing Match against Damian Priest on SmackDown left fans speechless after he literally lit up the arena with a fireball-assisted victory (thanks to a little help from Vega, of course).
But Aleister Black’s rebirth isn’t just about big wins and bigger entrances — it’s about evolution. And for that, he gives credit where it’s due.
“Undertaker graciously took the time to sit me down and talk about so many things,” Black shared in a recent interview ahead of SmackDown Perth. “There are a lot of great minds in WWE — Terry Taylor, William Regal, Robbie Brookside, Triple H, Paul Heyman — but Taker’s wisdom hits differently. He’s been there every step of the way, offering guidance, support, and belief.”
For longtime fans, that mentorship feels destined. Both men embody the gothic, eerie storytelling that captivates audiences — and Black’s evolution feels like a spiritual continuation of The Deadman’s legacy.
With giants like The Undertaker, Triple H, Paul Heyman, and William Regal behind him, Aleister Black’s second run in WWE feels like the start of something monumental.
If The Phenom’s shadow is any hint, this is more than a comeback — it’s a reawakening.
