Black is having the time of his life since Triple H paired him with his wife on television. Zelina joined her husband during the October 10 episode of SmackDown, helping him beat Damian Priest in a Last Man Standing Match.

The couple has since been a thorn in the side of The Archer of Infamy, forcing him to call his long-time partner Rhea Ripley for help.

The Terror Twins reunited on the go-home episode of SmackDown before Saturday Night's Main Event.

Ripley and Priest defeated Zelina and Black in a mixed tag team match to end the month-long feud.

Moments before the match, Michael Cole referred to Aleister Black and Zelina as the "Necessary Evil."

The power duo has been calling themselves the "Necessary Evil" in their promos, but this was the first time the commentary team introduced them by that name on television.

Aleister Black opens up about pairing with his wife in WWE

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, the Dutchman revealed that his wife was supposed to join him before he was let go by WWE in 2021.

"We started shooting little vignettes for it, and we started creating outfits for it. That first mask that I ever wore when I worked with [AEW] was actually one of the masks that was utilized. If you remember the Dark Father character that was at the end of my initial run [with WWE], that would eventually see my wife joining me... that was one of the pitches," he said.

According to Black, Triple H wasn't really sold on the idea of him teaming up with Zelina. But The Hunter changed his mind after the success of other couples like CM Punk and AJ Lee.

Now that their feud with the Terror Twins is over, it will be interesting to see what the company has in store for them.
