Aleister Black Unveils New Look Following WWE Departure

Aleister Black, now known as Tom Budgen, has revealed a new look as he transitions into free agency after his release from WWE.

Following WWE's post-WrestleMania 42 roster cuts at the end of July, Black shared a video that highlights his daily life and concludes with him sporting a fully shaved head. The video depicts him in a reflective mood, ultimately showing him training in martial arts.

This release marked the conclusion of Black's second tenure with WWE, during which he previously competed in AEW as Malakai Black. Speculation surrounds his potential return to AEW, especially after comments from MJF regarding Black's past in the promotion. Black's wife, Zelina Vega, was released simultaneously and is now performing under the name Xelina.
