WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett commented on Aleister Black’s recent return to WWE, acknowledging his talent and the initial positive atmosphere, but also pointing to the challenges that lie ahead once the “honeymoon period” ends.
Speaking on his My World podcast, Jarrett said of Black: “A hell of a talent. When you arrive on the scene of any locker room, you better say all the right things. It is new and it is invigorating. On top of it, his wife is there. He has had some success there. I wish him well. I think he will do well, but once the honeymoon period is over and the newness wears off, and the grind sets in, let the dust settle, but I wish him well.”
Jarrett extended his good wishes to Black’s wife, Zelina Vega, referencing her journey: “His wife, going way back starting in TNA, to see her succeed on this level is heartwarming and I wish nothing but the best.”
He then offered a broader perspective on talent returning or moving between promotions: “The real work for Aleister will be in the next, I don’t know, 12 months. Same with Rusev. Same with anybody. The grass ain’t always greener, or is the grass greener? Only time will tell for both those guys.”
