The May 2 episode of WWE SmackDown took place at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa. The show moved forward as they prepared for Backlash with several matches, including a big one for Aleister Black.
The Miz faced Aleister Black in a singles match. Black had just returned to WWE, marking his first match back since leaving AEW. The Mizs Melo Dont Miz partner, Carmello Hayes, was there for moral support.
This match went down at the start of the second hour of the show this week. Fans were awe-struck when Black made his way to the ring. The Miz tried to rush Black when the bell sounded, but Black backed him off with a spinning kick.
The two got down to business, wrestling in the middle of the squared circle. Then The Miz kicked, but Black caught his foot. Then Black fired back with some knees after coming back from an Irish Whip. This gave Aleister Black a chance to do his signature flip off the ropes into his trademark cross-legged taunt.
We will have to see what is next for Aleister Black as he continues in WWE once again. He certainly has a bit of momentum for him this time around. The Miz was able to take control as he slammed Blacks head into the LED ringside apron as they cut to commercial break.
The two continued the match, and Aleister Black kept kicking out of everything The Miz tried to throw at him. In the end, Black avoided a Skull Crushing Finale and he landed a kick to put The Miz down. Then he brought The Miz back up before Hayes distracted him. Suddenly, Aleister landed Black Mass on The Miz to pick up the win. After that, Carmelo Hayes and Aleister Black had a bit of a stand off before Him left.
We will have to see what Aleister Black does next. Obviously, he is back, and on a mission to do a lot more than he did during his first stint in WWE.
