Between Raw, SmackDown and NXT there are quite a few championship belts under the WWE umbrella, and you never know when one of them might change hands.
WWE is a company that is constantly changing plans, and it looks like at one point there were plans in place for Aleister Black to win the United States Championship.
Black’s real life wife Zelina Vega recently appeared on Chasing Glory with Lilian Garcia, and she confirmed that Andrade was supposed to drop the belt to Aleister, but things didn’t go according to plan.
“Because initially, we were supposed to drop our — I said ‘our’. Oh my God, what’s the title? Yes, that one, the United States Championship. We were supposed to drop that to Aleister and we were gonna add the element of my confusion into it and it didn’t end up happening obviously. One got hurt and another whole thing but yeah, I wanted to keep the reality of people believing that more than anything else so, it’s nice to keep it just for us but also to keep the storylines fresh and believable as possible.”
Aleister Black is no stranger to gold as he previously won the NXT Championship during his run with the brand, but he has yet to capture a title since joining the main roster in 2019.
