Former WWE NXT Champion Aleister Black made his return to WWE television at Thursday’s NXT TV tapings in Winter Park, Florida at Full Sail University by interrupting a match.

Black had been out of action since last month after undergoing surgery for a groin injury as he was injured at an NXT live event in Las Vegas after being crotched by Tommaso Ciampa in the main event of the show.

Ciampa was originally scheduled to defend the NXT Title against Aleister Black and Johnny Gargano in a triple threat match at WWE NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 4 but those plans were changed once did an angle where Black was attacked by an unknown person and is looking to find out who it was. This led to him being written off of television.

Black held the title for 102 days once he won it from Andrade “Cien” Almas during Survivor Series weekend at NXT TakeOver: WarGames in November of 2017 in Houston, Texas.

WWE will hold another set of NXT TV tapings on October 17th where this storyline involving Black will continue.
