Malakai Black was interviewed about main eventing Dynamite against Cody Rhodes this Saturday night by The Orlando Sentinel. On coming to the company, Black said, "That [AEW debut] was pivotal, to be able to make such an impact right away, and being allowed to make such an impact my way. My conversation with [AEW president and creative force Tony Khan] about what I wanted to do with my character wasn’t any longer than 10 minutes and he was sold. “Even before [in WWE], when I had handcuffs on [stylistically], my body of work stood for itself, but there’s a lot of trust here in what I can do.”
Black was also interviewed by Decibel Magazine at this link.
