Malakai Black's AEW Contract May Expire Sooner Than Expected

According to Raj Giri, Malakai Black’s AEW contract may be expiring sooner than initially expected. Giri shared the following statement via Twitter/X:

"Malakai Black’s #AEW contract is apparently expiring soon. I know Tony Khan had stated in 2022 that Black was under contract for 5 years, but the word I’m hearing is that it is actually up early next year and AEW is working to re-sign him. I’ve also heard that there is major interest in him outside of AEW."

In 2022, Black had addressed the situation regarding his contract, stating:

"My contract is not five years, my contract has never been five years. Again, this is all bullsh*t, it’s all lies."
