A rumor killer ahead of today's WWE Royal Rumble premium live event.
PW Insider is reporting that Malakai Black, formerly known as Aleister Black in WWE, is NOT in Indianapolis for the Rumble, nor should fans expect him to return to WWE just yet. Despite word of him being done in AEW, he is still under contract with Tony Khan's promotion, where he signed in 2022.
Black is a decorated performer across both companies. In WWE he was an NXT Champion and a winner of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Tournament. In AEW, he was the leader of the ruthless House of Black, who were one-time AEW Trios Champions.
