Aleister Black is not expected to compete in today’s Men’s Royal Rumble match.
PWInsider is reporting that Aleister Black is in Saudi Arabia but will not be in the men’s Rumble match. The report states that WWE officials made the decision to delay his return to television and reintroduce him more strategically rather than have him get lost in the shuffle of a 30-man Rumble match.
Black last competed on SmackDown on January 2, 2026, facing Damian Priest in an Ambulance Match.
