Aleister Black Talks 2019 And 2020, The "Constant Mental Beatdown" That Comes With Being A WWE Star

WWE RAW Superstar Aleister Black took to Instagram today with a look back at his 2019.

"2019. I thank you all, whether you were cheering or booing you were a part of what I can only recall as a crazy year. From working NXT, Smackdown! And RAW all together for two months straight before finally landing on Monday night RAW permanently to competing in Europe, the UK, South America and Mexico this was a hectic year for professional and personal growth," Black wrote.

Black, who defeated Buddy Murphy on the final RAW of 2019, continued and talked about the "constant mental beatdown" that comes with being a WWE Superstar.

"Clearly not the biggest user of social media now a days but I try and do my best to represent, how I personally feel, my brand and character in the best way possible. Being a WWE wrestler is anything but easy, screw that being a wrestler in general isn't easy. There is a constant mental beatdown that takes place besides the physical one trying to complete and shape who and what you are within this universe. Much like we do in real life, we only do it in-front of an open platform and don't get second takes nor chances. Wrestling is incredibly difficult and has details far exceeding the comprehension of most. Every day I discover new things, ways and thoughts in regards to my work and skill. This is a never ending working curve and I am glad it is the path in life I have chosen. I hope you all have a great 2020," Black wrote.
