AEW Shuts Down Rumors Of Interest In Recently Fired WWE Star
AEW says no talks have taken place with Aleister Black, though sources say the door remains open for a future reunion.
- Recently fired WWE star Aleister Black, known as Malakai Black during his prior All Elite Wrestling tenure, faces uncertainty as conflicting reports emerge regarding his potential return to the promotion.
- While SEScoops writer Mike Reichlin reported that Black is in 'active negotiations' with AEW, company sources denied these claims to Fightful Select reporter Sean Ross Sapp.
- Multiple AEW figures, including top star MJF and office employee Shawn Dean, have signaled opposition to Black's return, citing past friction regarding match outcomes and locker room dynamics.
- Regardless of potential interest, recently fired WWE stars face a 90-day contract clause, meaning AEW legally could not sign Black immediately even if they desired a reunion.
- Wrestling Observer Newsletter journalist Dave Meltzer noted that Black previously departed AEW because he wanted to leave, with management unhappy about his booking preferences and match outcomes.
