Former WWE star Malakai Black (Aleister Black) has been announced for his first appearacnes following his WWE release.
Back in April, over 20 names were released from their WWE contract, with perhaps the most shocking name on the list being Aleister Black, who had only returned to WWE the year before.
With all released WWE stars now officially free agents, they are now free and clear to sign and compete wherever they wish, and we now know where Aleister Black will return to the ring.

Black recently shared a return video on social media, showing off a new look in the video.
PROGRESS Wrestling is now co-owned by former WWE star’s Big Damo (Killian Dain) and Nikki Storm (Nikki Cross).
AEW Return Out Of The Question For Malakai Black?
Malakai Black left AEW last year prior to his return to WWE television in what had been a move speculated for many months prior.
Since Black’s departure, both AEW fans and wrestlers alike have not had favorable comments to make on his time with the company, with MJF specifically naming Black as someone who ‘wanted to use AEW to get back to WWE’ during an interview with Ariel Helwani.
AEW has already signed the Motor City Machine Guns following the expiration of their non-compete clause, with the legendary duo debuting on AEW Collision in Detroit two weeks ago.
While Black was arguably the most surprising name among the WWE stars released back in April, he may actually be the one least likely to show up in AEW, with both Brody King and Julia Hart arguably better off now than they were during the House of Black.
