All three members of House of Black returned
on Dynamite last night, attacking Best
Friends and The Factory.
This was Malakai Black’s first appearance on
AEW television since All Out in September
and the first for Brody King and Buddy
Matthews since the Dynamite: Grand Slam
episode later that same month.
There was a lot of conflicting information
regarding Black’s departure at the time,
with some insiders saying he got a
“conditional release” from his deal. But
Black later shot down the rumors and said
that he just needed time for himself and AEW
allowed him an extended time off. A few days
later, Matthews said the same at an indie
event.
There were rumors that Black wanted a
release to go back to WWE after Triple H
took charge and his wife Zelina Vega
returned.
