His new ring name is Malakai Black.<\/p>\n<p>During the opening match of the show between Cody Rhodes and QT Marshall, the lights flickered out and the announce team chalked the situation up to bad weather in the area. Later in the night, Tony Schiavone was interviewing Arn Anderson in the ring and the lights went out again. When they turned on, Black stood in the middle of the ring and across from Arn. He delivered the Black Mass spinning kick to Anderson before Rhodes ran out to save his coach. Black then hit him with the same spinning kick and left the ring while the announce team discussed his violent agenda.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">HOLY S**T &#8230; Malakai Black ( @TommyEnd) has arrived in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEW?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AEW<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Tune into <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWDynamite?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AEWDynamite<\/a> NOW on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tntdrama?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@tntdrama<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CgU959OPkI\">pic.twitter.com\/CgU959OPkI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEW\/status\/1412944130813083650?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 8, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udc40 <\/p>\n<p>Official Malakai Black Tee<\/p>\n<p>Now available at <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9hHlXpcSbp\">https:\/\/t.co\/9hHlXpcSbp<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/shopaew?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#shopaew<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/aew?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#aew<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/aewdynamite?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#aewdynamite<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sW3f0DNHA6\">pic.twitter.com\/sW3f0DNHA6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; ShopAEW.com (@ShopAEW) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShopAEW\/status\/1412948167360921610?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 8, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>Black was released from his WWE contract in June of this year.
