Update on Malakai Black’s AEW Status Amid Send-Off Rumors – This week on AEW Dynamite (11/6), fans witnessed an intense singles match between Adam Cole and Malakai Black. Cole ultimately secured the victory, hitting his finisher as Black sat calmly in the ring, awaiting his fate.
After the match, Black offered Cole a respectful embrace, adding a moment of camaraderie before he took a lingering look back at the ring. This gesture has sparked speculation about Black’s future with AEW, with some wondering if he may be contemplating an exit from the company.
According to Fightful, the belief circulating within AEW is that Black might finish up with the promotion by late 2024 or early 2025, should AEW choose not to exercise any contractual options to extend his stay. Although nothing has been officially confirmed, AEW CEO Tony Khan mentioned two years ago that Black had signed for “almost five years,” indicating a long-term commitment that reportedly includes option years.
This isn’t the first time rumors of Black’s departure have surfaced. In 2022, there was considerable speculation about a potential WWE return for Black, though AEW’s policy at the time prevented talents from exiting their contracts early to join WWE. While AEW managed to retain him, these new developments have reignited questions about Black’s long-term plans.
As of now, his future remains uncertain, and fans will have to wait and see if AEW moves to secure him for longer or if the wrestling landscape might shift again.
