WWE Reportedly Interested in Bringing Back Malakai Black

WWE Reportedly Interested in Bringing Back Malakai Black – According to reports, WWE is keen on re-signing Malakai Black (Aleister Black), who left the company to join AEW and quickly made an impact by forming the tag team Kings of the Black Throne with Brody King. The duo later expanded into the House of Black, adding Buddy Matthews to compete in AEW’s trios division. Alongside Black’s in-ring success, the group played a significant role in the rise of former TBS Champion Julia Hart.

Black’s most recent match took place on AEW Rampage last week, where he and Buddy Matthews defeated Action Andretti and Lio Rush in tag team action. Despite being active in AEW, rumors about his potential return to WWE continue to swirl. Earlier this week, Raj Giri reported that Black’s contract is set to expire soon, leading to speculation about his next career move.

In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer confirmed WWE’s interest in bringing Malakai Black back to the company. Meltzer noted that Black’s AEW contract is reportedly set to expire in early 2025. However, there is the possibility that AEW may add extra time to his deal due to the time he has been out of action, although the extension wouldn’t be extensive. Black has been recovering from an injury, which has limited his recent in-ring appearances.

It’s worth mentioning that Black’s wife, Zelina Vega, is currently signed to WWE, where she continues to compete. Black also has strong ties with friends in WWE, including CM Punk, and has long been on Triple H’s radar as a potential rehire since he took over creative control of WWE. However, Black has not yet made any public statements regarding his contract status or his potential return to WWE.

For now, Black remains an integral part of AEW, and any move to WWE may have to wait until his contract situation becomes clearer in early 2025. Fans on both sides are watching closely to see how this situation develops.
