Former WWE star Erick Redbeard made his return to AEW leading up the Revolution pay-per-view last month as he evened the odds for a six-man tag team match against House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King & Buddy Matthews) as he aligned with PAC and Penta Oscuro.
At the event, House of Black went over. His first AEW appearance came during the Brodie Lee tribute show in December 2020. He explained to the Wrestle Buddy podcast that he’d be open to going back to AEW if there is a story that calls for it.
“Man, I would love to go and have a feud, a story [in AEW]. I would love to go and have an actual story. That’s why I liked going. There was a short little story where I got to be involved with the House of Black and Penta [Oscuro] and PAC. That was fun, because it was a couple day-story. To me, that was cool. It was cool to come back, do a couple things and then leave. There’s so many guys. I would hate to go and just take up space, take up a spot. I don’t like it when guys go in, take up a spot and they have no plans for them and then they just sit there.”
Redbeard said that paychecks are always good, but he wants to perform and give the best of himself at this point. He also stated he doesn’t want to assume the role as on-screen leader of Dark Order because he thinks that should be Brodie Lee’s legacy.
