Malakai Black held preliminary talks with MLW following WWE release

Professional wrestler Malakai Black had preliminary contact with Major League Wrestling (MLW) several months ago, shortly after his release from WWE. While discussions took place, reports indicate the conversations did not progress significantly, though no issues occurred during the process.

Black remains a free agent following his departure from WWE earlier this year. While there were previous rumors regarding a potential return to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), the promotion has denied those claims. Black has recently been announced for three upcoming dates with PROGRESS Wrestling starting in September.
