Two Mysterious Vignettes Aired on SmackDown – The March 14 episode of WWE SmackDown featured two intriguing vignettes that sparked widespread speculation among fans. The cryptic videos left many wondering if WWE was teasing the arrival of a former AEW star and a returning name from the past.
The first vignette showcased a masked luchador, accompanied by dramatic lightning strikes. Although the identity of the masked figure was not confirmed, fans quickly speculated that the mystery man could be former AEW star Rey Fenix. The high-flying wrestler had been linked to WWE earlier in 2024, but contractual obligations, including injury-related time extensions, delayed his potential move. His brother and tag team partner, Penta, officially signed with WWE in January, further fueling rumors about Fenix’s impending arrival. Reports indicate that WWE has already been working on creative and marketing plans for him, and he officially parted ways with AEW in March.
Fenix boasts an impressive resume, having held multiple championships in AEW, including the International Championship and the World Tag Team Championship alongside Penta. The duo also captured the ROH World Tag Team Titles, further cementing their legacy. If the vignette is indeed teasing his WWE debut, it could mark a significant addition to the roster.
Later in the show, a second vignette aired, this one even more cryptic. The video featured a dark screen filled with swirling smoke, accompanied by eerie footsteps. Just before it ended, the number “4” flashed across the screen, leaving fans to speculate about its meaning.
While the video didn’t provide concrete details, many believe it could hint at the return of Aleister Black, also known as Malakai Black. Black became a free agent after his AEW contract expired in February, and rumors of his WWE return have been swirling ever since. Given his past success in WWE and the company’s reported interest in bringing him back, the vignette could be the first step toward his reintroduction.
With both videos generating significant buzz, WWE seems to be setting the stage for some major arrivals. Fans will be eagerly watching for further developments in the weeks ahead.
