WWE has shown significant interest in AEW star Malakai Black, as reports reveal he may be nearing the end of his AEW contract. Following news of his potential departure, sources claim WWE is already working on creative plans to bring Black back to the promotion.
In AEW, recent developments suggest Black might have already exited the promotion. His House of Black faction members Buddy Matthews, Brody King, and Julia Hart have been encouraged to pursue solo careers.
A few weeks ago, Will Ospreay addressed both Matthews and Brody King, telling them they didn’t need to follow a leader. Meanwhile, Adam Copeland had also reached out to Brody King, and Julia Hart urged them to move forward without Black.
All signs point to the House of Black disbanding, with Malakai Black potentially leaving AEW. WWE, where Black spent several years earlier in his career, seems eager to capitalize on this opportunity. Reports suggest the WWE is already brainstorming creative ideas for Black’s return.
