Malakai Black Makes First Statement Following AEW Release Reports

Last year Malakai Black was released from WWE and shortly after he made his way to All Elite Wrestling. Recently it was reported that Black was granted a conditional release from AEW, but Black hasn’t said much following talk of his release.

On Saturday night Malakai Black competed at Prestige Wrestling’s Perseverance event in Pomona, CA and he also addressed the crowd while saying that he’s going to take some time to re-calibrate himself.

“I understand that all you have questions… what I am doing, where I am going. In due time, I will answer the majority of these questions. However, for the last 22 years of my life, I have never not once taken a step back and re-calibrated my life. I took a chance to look back at the stuff I’ve done in-ring but also the stuff outside of the ring.”

“You’ve all been fantastic. Please allow me a few weeks, maybe a few months, to just re-calibrate myself. I promise you, this is not goodbye, this is just we’ll see each other soon.”

Stay tuned for more updates on Malakai Black as they become available.
