Malakai Black is a free agent, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

Black’s deal with AEW expired yesterday. The promotion has removed him from their website roster.

Black, a former WWE NXT Champion, signed with AEW in 2021 after WWE, then being overseen by Vince McMahon, released him. Black was pushed heavily by Paul Levesque in NXT and one would think WWE is the most likely landing place for him.

While in AEW, he feuded with Cody Rhodes and Adam Copeland and headed The House of Black, which also featured Brody King, Julia Hart and Buddy Matthews. Without him, they have been rebranded the Hounds of Hell.

Stay tuned.
