Aleister Black Seeks To Reignite WWE Rivalry With Cody Rhodes

Aleister Black, who returned to WWE in April after a four-year absence, has expressed strong interest in reigniting his rivalry with Cody Rhodes, a feud that originally captivated audiences during their time in AEW. Black praised Rhodes as a consummate professional and marquee competitor, emphasizing that their previous storylines left much untapped potential both verbally and creatively. He highlighted the stark contrast between their characters—Rhodes’ heroic persona versus Black’s darker, cerebral style—as a compelling foundation for renewed storytelling. Both wrestlers are currently part of WWE's SmackDown roster, and Black believes that the fans’ eagerness to see them face off again underscores the impact of their prior encounters. Although Rhodes is presently focused on other matches, Black remains patient and hopeful that the opportunity to feud again will arise. Their shared history and the anticipation surrounding a possible renewed rivalry reflect the lasting appreciation for their work together.
