Former WWE Standout Aleister Black, Debuts In AEW Not As Tommy End Or Tom Büdgen, But As Malakai Black!

He debuted on the July 7, 2021 episode of AEW Dynamite and was company’s #1 moment of the episode.

Here’s more from AEW’s own recap.

Tony Schiavone interviewed “The Enforcer” Arn Anderson in the ring.

The lights turned out as Arn Anderson began to speak. The arena went black. Malakai Black appeared in the ring and dropped Arn with a roundhouse kick! Cody Rhodes ran to the ring and Malakai Black blasted Cody with a roundhouse kick too…

Plus the video.

Looks like a confrontation with Cody Rhodes is in the offing.

Interestingly his wife Zelina Vega, real name Thea Trinidad Büdgen, recently returned to WWE on Smackdown and is in the WWE’s Raw and Smackdown co-branded WWE Money in the Back 2021 ladder match at the WWE Money in the Bank PPV.
