00:00Some big WrestleMania 41 plans have been announced, Aleister Black's WWE return leaked, Breaking

00:06News grass actually not greener, Andrade seemingly frustrated with Triple H's booking and more.

00:13I'm Oli Davis, and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:19Following his Dave Meltzer 5 star approved unsanctioned match at Elimination Chamber,

00:24WWE announced that Sami Zayn would be out of action indefinitely.

00:28He was already kayfabe, suffering from a neck injury from Kevin Owens' package piledriver

00:33earlier that month.

00:34And then he was further killed by two pop-up powerbombs on the ring apron.

00:38His kayfabe condition is so severe, there's a very real possibility that Sami Zayn, someone

00:44who main evented night one of WrestleMania 39, and who ended Gunther's undefeated streak

00:49for the Intercontinental title at WrestleMania 40, could miss the biggest show of the year

00:56next month.

00:57So maybe don't share how nice a time you're having with your celebrity friends on Twitter,

01:02Sami!

01:03Zayn has posted a gallery of images captioned Fine Company, Fine Food, with photos of him

01:09and his wife double dating with Oscar winning actor Kieran Culkin.

01:13You're exposing the business, Elgin- I mean Sami Zayn!

01:17Kieran and his brother Macaulay Culkin are lifelong wrestling fans.

01:20In fact, in one moment during A Real Pain, the movie Kieran won his best supporting Oscar

01:26he starts doing the Bushwhackers walk.

01:28Macaulay has been shown in the audience of Raw twice this year already.

01:31Maybe they'll want to do a Culkin boys trip to this year's Sam, the SmackDown after

01:35WrestleMania because, apparently, WWE are planning a big return.

01:54Aleister Black WWE return confirmed!

01:57Black's five year run in WWE came to an end in 2021, where he was released just weeks

02:02into his new Dark Father character, and a feud with Big E. But because someone in WWE

02:07reportedly never updated the non-compete clause in Black's contract to a main roster one,

02:12he was able to shockingly show up in AEW just a month later, rather than the standard 90

02:18days.

02:19He went straight into a feud with Cody Rhodes, beating him twice, in the crazy rise of AEW

02:24when CM Punk, Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole joined soon after.

02:28It seemed as though this guy we all loved in NXT, but who was never booked right on

02:33the main roster, could finally be about to break through as a proper top main eventer.

02:39Then he hardly did anything for the next few years.

02:42Rather than be booked as the singles competitor I think most of us wanted him to be, Malakai

02:46mostly featured in trios matches with his House of Black faction.

02:50He admitted to asking for his release from AEW in August 2022, the same month as the

02:55backstage brawl out with CM Punk, and shortly after Triple H, who had booked him very well

03:00in NXT, got control of the WWE main roster.

03:04There were also reports that Malakai would turn down creative if AEW had booked him to

03:09lose.

03:10His contract finally expired last month, making him a free agent.

03:14Then, on Friday's episode of SmackDown, a new vignette played of Smoke on a black

03:18background, with the number 4 appearing on the screen.

03:22According to PWNexus, this is directly teasing Black's WWE return, which is expected to

03:28happen on the SmackDown following WrestleMania on the 25th April.

03:33Interestingly, on the 27th January, Black's real-life wife Selina Vega was weirdly removed

03:38from her LWO faction on Raw and moved to SmackDown.

03:42Just under two weeks later was when Black became a free agent.

03:45Perhaps WWE were already working towards Black's return in January by drafting Vega to the

03:50same brand that he'd be on.

03:52How do you think the number 4 ties into Aleister Black's WWE return?

03:56Let me know in the comments down below.

03:58Mysterious.

03:59Maybe the 4 stands for Forgotten, as that seems to be how Andrade's feeling right

04:04now.

04:05Stop me if you've heard this one before.

04:07Andrade's six year run in WWE came to an end in 2021, where he was granted his release

04:12on the 21st March.

04:13He debuted in AEW three months later in June, where his first feud of note was against Cody

04:18Rhodes later that year.

04:20But this time he had three separate managers, Jose the Assistant, Vickie Guerrero, and,

04:25very briefly, Chavo Guerrero.

04:27Then he hardly did anything for the next few years.

04:30Andrade flipped between being a face and a heel.

04:33He was weirdly managed by CJ Perry, the former Lana and a feud against Miro for a few months.

04:38He reunited, and then quietly left the faction igno-blahblahblah.

04:42Around the same time Malakai was requesting his release from AEW in 2022, Andrade, who

04:48also might've wanted to go back to WWE too with Triple H now in charge, reportedly

04:53went up to Sammy Guevara backstage and got in a fight.

04:56Andrade was suspended, and didn't appear on TV again until June the next year on the

05:01debut episode of Collision, which is where, at the time, Tony Khan put all his difficult

05:05toys.

05:06Andrade's AEW contract expired at the end of 2023, and he made his return to WWE in

05:12the following month's Royal Rumble.

05:14Andrade had what he'd seemingly wanted for the last year and a half.

05:17He was in WWE again, where his then-wife Charlotte Flair also worked, with Triple H

05:22booking him on SmackDown.

05:25By June, he was wrestling on WWE Speed.

05:27Outside of a fun series of matches with Carmelo Hayes on SmackDown, Andrade hasn't done

05:33anything of note since his WWE return.

05:35And this might be making him annoyed.

05:38As just like his semi-frustrated tweets back in AEW, he's now posted, WAITING, THREE

05:44EXCLAMATION MARKS, with a black and white poster of him sitting on some steps.

05:48The replies were either fans asking Triple H to book him more on TV, or for him to return

05:53to go back to AEW.

05:54That's Twitter for you.

05:56Not including the Royal Rumble match, Andrade has only been booked three times this year,

06:02beating The Miz once, but losing to Jacob Fatu and Shinsuke Nakamura as well.

06:06Speaking of Nakamura…

06:08Following his shock US title loss on the 15th March episode of SmackDown, because every

06:13TV episode now has a title change on, a rumour started to spread online that Nakamura was

06:19leaving WWE.

06:20Came out this was falsely attributed to a report from PWTorch, who never said anything

06:25about Nakamura leaving the company.

06:27WWE themselves then confirmed to the Wrestling Observer that story wasn't true.

06:32But they didn't answer whether Nakamura had had his last match in the company.

06:37Turns out they didn't have to clarify that last point, as Nakamura wrestled on last Friday's

06:41SmackDown, losing to Damian Priest.

06:43And he then went on to lose to LA Knight on both of WWE's live tour dates in Germany

06:48over the weekend.

06:49Before I get into the rest of the news, our brand new video game series Dom & Sully Play

06:54is now live!

06:55Here's a clip of them trying to beat Split Fiction.

07:24Watch that immediately after this news by clicking the video in the description below.

07:35While Nakamura apparently isn't leaving WWE, Lillian Garcia is leaving SmackDown,

07:41as she shared on Instagram.

07:43Just finished announcing SmackDown in Barcelona, Spain, and it was absolutely incredible.

07:51It's Spanish for heart.

07:54And now I have some news that this will be my last show as the full-time SmackDown announcer.

07:58A new era is upon us, but I will still be with the company, as I will be announcing

08:03for all WWE Saturday night's main event shows on NBC and Peacock, singing at certain

08:08special events, and currently working on other show ideas with WWE.

08:14Winky face emoji.

08:15WWE is my home, so stay tuned as a new chapter begins.

08:19I invite all of you to continue this journey with me as we share it together.

08:24Bottom line, thank you and I love you dearly.

08:27Lillian took over following Samantha Irvine leaving WWE last October.

08:31Garcia was always likely a temporary replacement.

08:34WWE's main ring announcers are currently Alicia Taylor on Raw and Mike Rome on NXT.

08:40Even though we kinda just had a roster refresh with the Netflix move in January and the ensuing

08:44transfer portal, PWInsider is reporting a full draft following WrestleMania 41, along

08:50with Aleister Black's WWE return reportedly happening on the SmackDown aftermania, and

08:55Rey Fenix potentially debuting to form the Lucha Bros on Raw with Penta before them.

09:00There is also heavy speculation on New Japan wrestler Jeff Cobb.

09:04Fightful reported that WWE had interest in Cobb, who is currently a free agent, late

09:08last week.

09:09It was then said that Cobb has even been listed on WWE's internal roster, but Fightful

09:15couldn't confirm that.

09:16On the day those reports came out, Cobb was set to face Naito in the New Japan Cup.

09:21So when Cobb beat Naito, a former heavyweight champion, a bit of doubt was cast on those

09:27WWE debut reports.

09:29The following night, though, Cobb lost a show to Umino.

09:32In his post-match interview, he interestingly made a reference to WWE's Roman Reigns.

09:37I'm going to be a good boy and finish this tournament tour, and whoever walks out the

09:41New Japan Cup champion, I will come knock, knock, knocking.

09:45And whoever it is I have to fight, you will acknowledge me.

09:49But the biggest appearance he could've had in all of wrestling over the last year was

09:54Stone Cold Steve Austin instead of The Undertaker in the WrestleMania 40 main event.

09:59Better late than never, I guess.

10:00Because Stone Cold has been confirmed for an appearance at the WrestleMania 41 weekend,

10:05where he's set to appear at WWE World in Las Vegas.

10:08The announcement was fittingly made yesterday, the 16th March, aka Stone Cold Day 316.

10:14Austin didn't get to have one last stare down with The Rock last year.

10:18Perhaps he saw how much fun it all was, and is going to get in on the action this time

10:22round.
