Over the last few years Malakai Black has been a part of the All Elite Wrestling roster and this week on AEW Dynamite he faced off against Adam Cole in a singles match.
Adam Cole picked up the match when Malakai Black called for Cole to hit him with his finisher. After Cole picked up the win Black hugged Adam Cole, and some fans have speculated that the match might have been a send off for Malakai Black.
Fightful Select reports that the word going around is that Malakai Black could be finishing up with AEW around the end of 2024, or early 2025 if AEW doesn’t exercise certain options.
Back in 2022, Tony Khan noted that Malakai Black was with AEW for another five years, but it was noted that those five years include option years. Nothing has been confirmed regarding Black’s future at the moment other than he’s not expected to retire.
