Malakai Black’s status in AEW has been a major point of discussion, and now, it appears his time with the company may be over. The House of Black leader has been removed from AEW’s official roster page, fueling speculation that he is officially done with Tony Khan’s promotion.

Black has not been seen on AEW television since Full Gear in November, and rumors suggest he could become available by February or March 2025.
