Drew McIntyre is a big fan of Aleister Black and expects to see the former NXT Champion take things to the next level.
The WWE Champion recently spoke with Phillip Martinez of Newsweek. This is where he noted that there are a few people who have stepped up in recent memory and wants to see more of that from others including from Black.
“There’s a few people that have stepped up and continue to step up and there’s more to come,” Drew said when asked who he’d like to see more of on WWE TV. “I know there’s more to come from Aleister Black for sure. I’m just waiting for that big moment. He knows his character as well as I know mine. He knows what he’s going for and it’s really cool and I guess it’s just doing it the right way to connect the right way because he’s got all the tools.
“Once you put the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle in the right place is when someone gets on a roll. I think Aleister Black is finally going to put that jigsaw puzzle together and he’s going to be on the run of a lifetime.”
Black just returned to WWE television this past Monday night on Raw where he turned heel and attacked Kevin Owens. This was done for a reason.
McIntyre also talked about SummerSlam, WWE coming up with the ThunderDome, and more. Check out the full interview here.
