Before his AEW debut, Aleister Black posted a video on his official Instagram account and gave a short sneak peak about his new character.
“I often wondered how many more there were, like in my head? Those voices. I don’t know which I prefer, the endless silence or the constant dialogue. I find them both equally frightening.”
On his All Elite Wrestling debut, Aleister Black attacked Arn Anderson and Cody Rhodes and made it clear that he meant for business. Tommy End also got the new name Malakai Black.
