Aleister Black issued the following statement about his release:

Im gathering my thoughts as this was a complete left field for me as obviously we just started the dark father character but this was it, thank you so much WWE universe for allowing me to create and give you small bits of myself.

Here are some additional instant-reactions from the wrestling world:

What a horrible mismanagement of some really talented people. Sucks.

Braun Strowman was also a victim of booking. He was surprisingly successfully built into a monster in 2016/2017, and the trigger should have been pulled on him to beat Lesnar then. Instead, he consistently lost. Never recaptured that momentum, even when he won the title. #WWE

Aleister Black released by #WWE right as he was making his return. He deserves far better than he was ever given by that company and I hope he makes them choke on it. @WWEAleister will be an asset wherever he lands.

Shocked at the WWE news today – there are a LOT of talented people that just entered the free market.
Crowds are back – the second 1/2 of 2021 is going to be an insane time for the wrestling world as a whole.

Absolutely shocking. Lana and Ruby no surprise. Lana will go to AEW with Miro.

Black no surprise. He’ll do fine.

Buddy should do the best.

Braun I doubt much.
