Aleister Black is one of the most exciting and brutally efficient strikers WWE has ever seen, but his path of destruction started well before he joined NXT in 2017.
The ominous Superstar began laying waste to opponents on the independent circuit in Europe and the United Kingdom, and now you can watch many of Black’s toughest battles from before he was a WWE Superstar in the brand-new Best of Aleister Black in PROGRESS Wrestling collection, just released on the award-winning WWE Network.
The collection, which focuses on Black’s run in the England-based promotion, highlights this week’s batch of independent wrestling shows now available to stream anytime on demand. Check out the full list of what’s new below, and come back every Saturday for more action from PROGRESS, EVOLVE, wXw and ICW.
