Aleister Black Backstage At AEW, Joining The Company (Patreon)

A hot topic backstage at in All Elite Wrestling this afternoon has been the former Aleister Black and Tommy End, now known as Malakai Blacks. Numerous AEW talent have speculated that he's coming into the company, with even rumors swirling that he's in Miami at AEW Road Rager tonight for some reason. One source even noted that he's joined the company already.

Tommy End was released last month by WWE. Multiple people that have been released in the past couple of months have gained and been granted early releases from their no-compete clauses, including one name who will be popping up for other companies in the next few weeks. We aren't sure if Tommy End was among those. We reached out to WWE for more information, but were told they don't disclose that info. We've yet to hear of WWE rejecting a non-compete clause this year for anyone who wants it.
