On the October 10, 2025 edition of WWE SmackDown, Aleister Black defeated Damian Priest in a Last Man Standing match. The contest concluded after Black sent Priest falling from a production box through a table, incapacitating him for the referee’s ten-count. The match was also notable for the appearance of Zelina Vega, whose real-life relationship with Black became a factor in the final moments of the bout.
The rivalry between Black and Priest has escalated over recent weeks, leading to the Last Man Standing stipulation, which requires a competitor to keep their opponent down for a count of ten to secure victory. The match featured several high-impact moments, including Priest delivering a Razor’s Edge to Black onto the announce table.
As Black and Priest battled on the production’s equipment box outside the ring, Zelina Vega, who is Aleister Black’s wife in real life, came out begging Priest to stop. Vega and Black then made eye contact. With the situation now back to one-on-one, Black threw a fireball into Priest’s face and followed up immediately with his signature Black Mass kick.
The impact of the kick sent Priest falling from the top of the box and crashing through a table set up below. The referee began his count as Priest remained on the floor amidst the wreckage of the table. Priest was unable to get to his feet by the count of ten, and the referee awarded the victory to Aleister Black, bringing an end to their match.
The inclusion of Zelina Vega, who had been aligned with the LWO, added a layer of context rooted in her real-life marriage to Black. While Vega’s on-screen character is not regularly aligned with her husband’s, her appearance played on their known relationship.
