AEW star's exit seemingly confirmed with leadership change
AEW may have confirmed a top star's departure on tonight's Dynamite. Earlier, reports claimed that Malakai Black, a former World Trios Tag Team Champion, was leaving the company. His teammates seemingly affirmed his exit on tonight's show.
The House of Black has been a top faction in AEW. Malakai Black, Julia Hart, Brody King, and Buddy Matthews dominated the locker room. However, after a few years together, the group's leader, Black, is allegedly set to leave the Jacksonville-based promotion.
On tonight's Dynamite, Julia Hart, Brody King, and Buddy Matthews were featured in a short vignette. In it, the trio hinted that Malakai would no longer be their leader and would all lead together moving forward.
"For years, we've had a voice to guide us. That voice was all but deafening. Now, that voice has gone silent," Brody said. (00:02 - 00:13)
Buddy Matthews then claimed that the faction would no longer live under shadows.
"And we are done living in the shadows... No leaders," Buddy said. (00:14 - 00:24)
It will be interesting to see how Tony Khan will book them going forward, as Brody and Buddy will be working as a tag team going forward.
