Malakai Black: A Potential Future in WWE Amid AEW Tensions
Malakai Black, known for his dark, enigmatic persona and in-ring prowess, made a significant move in his wrestling career by departing WWE and joining All Elite Wrestling (AEW). His transition was marked by anticipation among fans eager to see him showcase his talents on a different stage. However, his journey in AEW hasn’t been without challenges, as tensions within the company have seemingly affected his position.
A recent report by PW Torch has highlighted the complex dynamics surrounding Black in AEW. According to the report, there are influential figures in WWE who are strong advocates for Malakai Black, viewing him as a potential top singles act should he return to the company. “There are influential people in WWE who are big fans of Malakai Black and see him as a possible top singles act in the company.”
“Malakai Black was criticized by colleagues in AEW who were frustrated by the perception that he was resistant to ‘doing business,’ including a reluctance to doing jobs and frequent claims of injury issues. He and Tony Khan never developed rapport.”
These internal AEW criticisms suggest a challenging environment for Black, with some colleagues reportedly displeased with what they perceive as his reluctance to engage fully with storylines and match outcomes, and his frequent mention of injuries complicated matters further.
The lack of rapport between Black and AEW President Tony Khan could potentially open the door for a WWE return, especially given the interest from key WWE personnel. Such a move could reignite Black’s career, allowing him greater creative freedom and positioning him prominently in WWE’s singles competition.
Speculation now swirls around Malakai Black’s next moves. Could a WWE return be on the horizon, offering him a chance to fulfill the high expectations set for him as a singles competitor? Or will he find a way to reconcile his place within AEW and carve out a new path there? As the wrestling community watches closely, the future of this enigmatic superstar remains a topic of great intrigue.
