This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite saw Adam Cole and Malakai Black meet in a singles competition, with Cole going over.
Cole went over with his finisher after Black was sitting in the ring while awaiting his fate. Black embraced Cole after the match before he took a look back at the ring, leading to speculation he could be leaving.
Fightful reports the word going around in AEW in recent months is that they believe Black could be done towards the end of this year or early 2025 if options aren’t exercised on AEW’s behalf. That hasn’t been confirmed yet, as AEW CEO Tony Khan stated two years ago that Black has been under contract “for almost five years.”
Fightful has since been told those include option years. In 2022, there were rumors that Black wanted to return to WWE, but AEW wouldn’t let people out of their deals to return.
