On Saturday’s episode of AEW Collision, which went head-to-head with WWE Royal Rumble 2024, FTR & Daniel Garcia defeated House of Black (Malakai Black, Buddy Matthews & Brody King) in an Escape the Cage Trios Elimination match.
This match originally didn’t have the “Escape The Cage” stipulation, but Dave Meltzer reported that someone in House of Black complained about doing a job, so Tony Khan changed the stipulation.
Meltzer also reported that Malakai & Buddy will leave All Elite Wrestling once their contracts expire and then return to WWE:
“Of the guys, I know Daniel Garcia will do a job in a match like that. And I know FTR will do a job because you know, Dax Harwood does a million jobs when the circumstances are right, and Cash Wheeler’s not adversed to it.
So, Malakai Black NEVER does jobs, and when this was going on and I’m watching this, one of the things I was thinking watching this is like, these freaking House of Black guys never do jobs, and here’s the other thing: I was thinking like, what if they win this match and they’re just going like, you know like, two of those three guys are going to the WWE. I mean, they’re going. As soon as they can go, they’re gone.
Even though they were treated like sh*t in the WWE, and they never do jobs here, and they’re still going back to the WWE and my thought is kinda like, why do you keep putting them over when you know they’re leaving?”
After reading this report, Matthews posted a screenshot of his AEW record, which is 25-13 (thus indicating that he has no problem in losing), and wrote:
“For a ‘Reporter’ he doesn’t know much or do ANY research! lol”
Brody then posted:
“Funny how someone’s opinion just becomes fact because they’ve been watching wrestling a long time. The format and stipulation of the cage match was always what it was going to be. It’s not our fault the wording on the graphic changed.”
