Aleister Black has made waves on the main roster over the past few months, but he hasn&#8217;t been able to find the form that allowed him to become NXT Champion during his time on the developmental brand.



Black has been looking for a challenge ever since he made his way over to SmackDown Live back in April and could have finally found that in the form of Randy Orton.

The former Champion is a huge fan of working out and recently joined Sheamus on his <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Celtic Warrior Workouts (opens in a new tab)" href="https://youtu.be/-dspXAAjzhA" target="_blank">Celtic Warrior Workouts </a>where he was able to share some personal information about his career and how he found out he was getting called up to the main roster.

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">&#8220;I was born in Amsterdam. I got into wrestling at the age of 4 or 5, I didn&#8217;t watch WWE until later. I watched Japanese style wrestling, European style wrestling, and WCW. It wasn&#8217;t until I was 15 or 16 that I saw my first WWE Pay-Per-View and I was very confused. I thought there was only one thing (organization). Later on, I learned there were many, many promotions going. Because I was seeing faces, I saw in different companies, in WWE. I thought they changed their name,&#8221; he said via <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="WrestlingInc (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2019/06/aleister-black-says-wwe-main-roster-call-up-was-a-last-655096/" target="_blank">WrestlingInc</a>.</blockquote>

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> &#8220;To me as a kid, it looked like two people fighting, so, in my child&#8217;s mind, I was like I need to do this. My parents signed me up for karate, Kung Fu, jujitsu because I thought that was what they were doing. It&#8217;s when I started kickboxing, I realized that is not what they are practicing at all.&#8221;</blockquote>



Black was one of a number of NXT stars called up to the main roster earlier this year and even he admitted that his time in NXT was short and the call-up was very last minute.

<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">&#8220;I wasn&#8217;t scheduled to be called up. It was a last minute decision, I was just done (with a workout) and it was 11:30 and I didn&#8217;t have to be at the live event until 1:00. So, I was just going to take a 45-minute nap. I had my phone by me, and my phone starts to go off and its coach Bloom. He said, &#8216;I have some news for you&#8217; and as a joke, I said &#8216; you are firing me&#8217;. And he said, &#8216;Something like that, this Sunday you&#8217;re flying to Tennessee (so the debut could be kept a secret) and this Monday you make your debut on Raw and Tuesday on SmackDown.&#8221;</blockquote>
