Aleister Black was recently interviewed by The New York Post. Below are some of the highlights from the interview.
Aleister on if he has any interest in being managed by Zelina Vega (who is his real-life wife):
“I have no interest in having my wife as my manager and I don’t think she has to because it would be kind of cliché. It’s almost in the line of expectations where it’s like, oh of course you’re going to put them together, and I don’t want that. I don’t think that I necessarily need my wife or my wife needs me on screen because clearly my wife is doing a phenomenal job. She’s basically been the head of Raw for the last two, three weeks.”
I’d like to carve out my own path, which I’ve been doing very well for the last couple of weeks. Maybe in the future, you know, if they come up with something good and something we would both agree on, who knows. I’ll never say never, but as I’m looking at it right now, no.
On how it has been working with her on WWE televison:
She’s super professional and I think we’d like to think we’re both really professionals. It’s just going to work and we play your characters on TV and however we are in private life is what we are in private life. Once we get to work, we got to work and it’s go time. For me, it doesn’t do anything specifically. I think the outside world is more fascinated by the fact that me and my wife are competing against each other than we are ourselves.
On if he has liked his slow push on RAW over the past few months:
Yeah, I do. It sometimes goes hand in hand with a little bit of frustration because sometimes you want to go faster than what they’re allowing you to. But it has made sure that the audience has got really familiar with Aleister Black.
