Malakai Black update

An update on Malakai Black.
The end of Adam Cole vs. Malakai Black was strange in itself, as Black appeared to call for the finish. After the match, he rejected a handshake, and hugged Adam Cole. Many afterward speculated that it could be a "send off."
We've since heard the match was not a send off and he's scheduled to keep wrestling for AEW. We also have learned what those in AEW believe about his deal.
The word backstage in AEW in recent months was that they believed he could be done towards the end of 2024 or early 2025, if options aren't exercised on AEW's behalf. However, that hasn't been confirmed. Tony Khan himself in 2022 had said that AEW had Malakai Black under contract "for almost five years." However, since then, we've been told that those include option years. When there were rumors that Malakai wanted to go back to WWE in 2022, we're told AEW wasn't interested in letting people out of their deals to go back to WWE, whether it be him or someone else.
He is not expected to be retiring as many speculated online.

2024-11-07 20:16:37 +0000 UTCI don't understand. Was this finish planned? Or was this him kinda doing his own thing to see what TKs reaction would be? Also instead of Takeshita next week it should be Brody facing Adam, and Brody should just pummel him, and win the match. Then cut a promo saying something about how the other members of the House Of Black may have showed a moment of weakness when it came to their history with Adam Cole, but he doesn't have that issue. Then have Roderick Strong win his three matches, he can face MJF at Full Gear, Adam can face MJF at worlds end. When HoB implodes you make it seem like Brody wants to be at the top. He takes out Malakai and Buddy, but then the lights go out, and a spotlight hits and it shows Brody kneeling, and Julia returns. Find a way to get another person to join Brody in House Of Black, I'd turn Darby heel after he loses to Mox again, so he turns to HoB. He kinda fits their esthetic. You can feud Rightful Kings of the Black Throne vs House of the Scorned Queen or something. They need to utilize House of Black... There is so much they can do

2024-11-07 17:50:47 +0000 UTCHow is it a get bitched at for way less in here when it comes to my comments, but you're in so many of these posts talking crap to people about them being hopeful for wrestlers to go back to WWE? That's literally tribalism, and you're doing it ALL the time. Fuckin wild.
