Aleister Black appears to be moving into a new chapter of his career. Black revealed a completely shaved head on Thursday and began presenting himself on social media as Tommy End again, the name he used before his run in WWE.
In a video posted to Instagram, Black is shown doing everyday tasks around the house before shaving his head on camera and hitting Muay Thai pads. He simply wrote:
“I am the death of me.”
The change comes just weeks after Black became a free agent from WWE. He was released in April and served a 90-day non-compete clause that expired in July, making him officially available to sign with any company.
His last match took place on the go-home SmackDown before WrestleMania 42, when he made the final four of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

6:46 PM · Aug 6, 2026Tommy End, however, is more than just an old name from the independent circuit. Even after signing with WWE, he officially competed under that name in January 2017, when he faced Neville during the WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament. Shortly afterward, he was introduced full-time as Aleister Black in NXT.
Before WWE, End built much of his reputation in Europe. In his 11 years with wXw, he won virtually everything the promotion had to offer, including the Unified World Wrestling Championship, World Lightweight Championship, World Tag Team Championship and the 16 Carat Gold tournament.
However, his next move remains unknown. Rumors of an AEW return surfaced after his release, but company denied that it was negotiating with Black at the time. So far, no new signing has been announced.
