Malakai Black Addresses AEW Absence, Says is Due to Minor Injury – Malakai Black’s last match in AEW was when House of Black lost the Trios Titles to The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn at All In, which marked a turning point in his in-ring appearances.
Black has taken to social media to address fans’ concerns and rumors regarding his absence from singles matches in AEW, clarifying the nature of his injury and dispelling misconceptions.
In a video shared on his Instagram story, Black assured fans that he does not have a back injury, contrary to what some may have speculated. To provide further clarity, Black revealed that his current absence from in-ring competition is due to a minor injury. He mentioned that he had experienced a slight calf tear and a knee hyperextension, but he is well on the path to recovery and is almost ready to return to action.
“Something that I want to quickly address. I understand this is done from a perspective of caring, and I appreciate the fact that people care and that it comes from a good place. About a year ago, I made a video about rehabbing a back injury that I have. The video shows the process and strengthening my back. After the video was posted, people started bringing up this idea, ‘Oh, he has a bad back, therefore, ABC,’ which is not the case at all. For some reason, that has found its way back and the narrative is ‘he has not had singles matches because he has a bad back and nearly retired.’ That’s not true. Why I’m not having singles matches? I don’t know. I think it’s because they want House of Black to do six-mans. I was not in six-mans to hide a non-existing injury. Rest assured, I do not have a bad back and the reason I am home right now is because, well, due to a minor injury. I had a slight calf tear and a hyperextension in my knee, which is almost nursed back and almost ready to go back on the road. I appreciate the concern, but the reality is, I’m fine, and you will see me sooner rather than later,” he stated.
