Malakai Black hasn’t wrestled in a singles match for All Elite Wrestling since the June 22nd 2022 episode of AEW Dynamite, where he defeated Penta El Zero Miedo in a qualifying match for a shot at the AEW International Championship.
There are rumors going on that Black is only wrestling in Trios matches due to a back injury, but the former AEW World Trios Champion has denied those claims.
He wrote the following about it in an Instagram story he posted earlier this week:
“I appreciate the fact that people care and that it comes from a good place, but about a year or so ago, I made a video about rehabbing a back injury that I had.
After the video was posted, people started running with this idea that ‘Oh, he has a bad back and therefore A, B, or C,’ which is not the case at all.
None of these things are true. Why am I not having singles matches? I don’t know. I appreciate the concern, but the reality is that I’m fine.”
Black hasn’t been seen on AEW programming since the House Of Black lost the AEW World Trios Championship to The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn at the All In pay-per-view in UK last month.
Malakai is married to WWE Superstar Zelina Vega, who wrestles on SmackDown and is a member of the new version of the LWO.
