Aleister Black has been filming backstage promos for quite some time now, but WWE has confirmed that he will be in action at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view on Sunday.
At this point the company has not confirmed who his opponent will be, but it has been confirmed that the identity of Black’s opponent will be announced on SmackDown Live this week.
According to WrestleVotes, original plans for the pay-per-view called for Aleister Black to face Cesaro.
It was noted that Cesaro may still be set to face Black on Sunday, but plans for the match were put in place before Heyman and Bischoff took on their Executive Director roles.
Will you be watching Extreme Rules on Sunday? Sound off in the comments below.
I’m told Cesaro was the original planned opponent for Aleister Black for Extreme Rules and in fact he may still be. This was however prior to Heyman & Bischoff coming back into the fold. No idea if they want something else instead. We will see.
