Malakai Black professional wrestling career status

Overview

Following his release from WWE in April, professional wrestler Malakai Black has been navigating his status as a free agent. Reports indicate that Black held preliminary discussions with Major League Wrestling (MLW) shortly after his departure, though these talks did not progress significantly. While rumors of a return to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) have been denied by the promotion, Black has secured upcoming appearances with the UK-based PROGRESS Wrestling.

Black is scheduled to compete in three shows as part of ‘The Odyssey Tour’ in September, with dates in Edinburgh, Leeds, and Manchester. This marks his first venture into the independent wrestling scene since leaving WWE.
