Black, sans eye patch, sat with his glasses on and a book open to tell a story from The Tales of the Dark Father about The Dragon. He said we was never taught how to defeat the dragon, but instead was taught how to become the dragon. He won't help us and we should be scorched from the earth to make room for more fertile things.

Black also posted to social media following the airing of the vignette.

Black's last televised match was on October 12, 2020 when he lost to Kevin Owens in a No DQ bout. He posted a teaser for his return on social media on April 17.
