WWE: It’s Time For The Fashion Police To Find Aleister Black’s Attacker

The locker room is on edge. An unknown attacker walks free among their peers at the WWE Performance Center. No one knows who this criminal is or what they’re capable of. The air is tense. A door swings open. The room fills with smoke. A camera shutters. Your heroes have arrived.

Breezango has been sorely, sorely missed since they’ve been off WWE programming on account of an injury to Fandango. Their backstage sketches were hilarious and truly helped propel the entertainment factor on SmackDown Live while they were apart of their roster.

Fandango’s hurt, Tyler Breeze makes regular trips back to NXT to help their talent, so why haven’t we seen the main-roster/NXT cross over we’ve all been waiting for?

Let’s focus just on the NXT story line for a second – since former NXT Champion Aleister Black was found knocked out outside the performance center before his match with Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano at TakeOver: Brooklyn, all that’s been thrown around in terms the attacker’s identity has been speculation.

Performers are pointing the finger at each other all over social media, but nothing has come to fruition and we’re no closer to learning who attacked Black than we were on the day it happened. As of the August 29th episode of NXT, all General Manager William Regal has done was simply ask Johnny Gargano if he did it. And we didn’t even get an answer!

What a perfect time to reintroduce audiences to the most fashionable super-sleuths WWE has ever seen, am I right?

I assure you I am being 100%, completely and utterly serious with the suggestion that an NXT cameo by an otherwise unused Breezango would be beneficial to NXT in its current atmosphere. Comedy has a significant role in televised professional wrestling (the merits and purpose of which can be argued in another setting), but it’s pretty much uncharted territory for NXT.

As it’s still considered a developmental league and most of its homegrown performers don’t have much promo experience, not to mention comedy promo experience, bringing Breezango in could add more versatility and an opportunity for learning and development to NXT.

As I’ve mentioned, William Regal has finally taken serious steps to finding the attacker as of August 29th’s episode of NXT, but if NXT’s current MO is to just have Regal confront people one by one week after week, than NXT’s current approach to the attacker story line will be dry.

Consider the list of people who’ve spoken out on social media about the attack. EC3 and Lars Sullivan have gone back and forth, and even Nikki Cross as realized some oddly cryptic statements. Allowing these performers to interact with Breezango will truly make for comedy gold and will add a depth to NXT programming you didn’t even realize they could use.

It seems like a throwaway idea, but its merits are strong. Breezango was (still is) a hardworking and hysterical part of the WWE roster, and an injury shouldn’t send them into obscurity. Including them in this NXT storyline would be a mutually beneficial arrangement, and losing out on this obvious crossover storyline would be a missed opportunity for WWE to improve the versatility of NXT programming.
