Malakai Black Says It Feels Good To Be In A Place Where His Creative Mind Can Be Utilized

Aleister Black had a remarkable time in NXT as he became the NXT Champion and had several excellent matches. However, when he was called up to the main roster, Aleister Black largely floundered.

Aleister Black had been absent from WWE television for quite a few months as creative had no plans for him. Despite making a return on Friday Night Smackdown back in May and starting a new feud with Big E, Black was released by WWE.

Aleister Black has previously detailed how the last two years of his time in WWE were like slow death and he had a lot of trouble dealing with WWE Creative on numerous aspects. After his AEW debut, he now goes by the name Malakai Black.

While speaking on Zelina Vega’s Twitch stream, Malakai Black talked about working in AEW and noted how it feels for him to finally be in a place where his creative mind can be utilized.

“It feels really good that I’m in a place now where my creative mind can be utilized versus stopped, and controlled, and being presented in things that I know are not gonna work. Because, no offense, I knew a lot of the stuff wasn’t going to work. I said that to them as well back in the day. Lo and behold it didn’t work.”

With Malakai Black now finally in AEW, his feud with Cody Rhodes continues to be built. We will have to see how Malakai Black’s character will flourish in the company.
