"Couldn't get the job done"- Malakai Black blasts top AEW star for falling short against him
AEW star Malakai Black recently stamped heavy shots on Penta Oscuro ahead of their scheduled match on this week's episode of Dynamite.
The House of Black has been involved in a heated feud against Death Triangle, the trio of Penta Oscuro, Rey Fenix and PAC. After getting sprayed with black mist, Penta pulled a black mask from a grave before claiming that "Penta Oscuro" would rise to defeat Malakai Black. The two foes are scheduled to collide Wednesday night on AEW Dynamite.
Speaking with the Milwaukee Record, the House of Black leader blasted Oscuro for failing to beat him in their past encounters.
"I’m very acquainted with Penta. Even prior to adapting who I am now, I’ve had multiple run-ins with him. He’s an individual that felt, even though we changed him, that he needed to change with what we did to him in order to defeat us and he still couldn’t get the job done," said Black.

The former NXT Champion also shared his belief that a potential victory for Oscuro would be meaningless.
"He called me a clown that pretends to be a bad guy. So, that’s the guy that will beat him. Now, in the almost impossible event that he beats me, then what does his victory mean? His victory would mean nothing for him and nothing for the fans."
