I believe, but correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Black did say he’d love to with Bray as the story they both could create could be something else, and I agree I’d love to see that feud

[@showlectro]

Wow. Incredible entrance. Awesome squash match. Malakai Black has it and then some. Those kicks are just so good. Cody's selling was phenomenal, too. I am a big Malakai Black fan.

[@MaarSRT]

I think I rewatch this entrance everyday since last week shit fire

[@KingOmega85]

Love this entrance! Every time the lights go back on, he is in another position, as if he is teleporting. Cant wait to see this in the big arenas!

[@thepunk1019]

He looks scary af but legit one of the nicest friendliest person I ever met in my life.

[@PhoenixFireZero]

Isn't that how it always is with goths and punks?

[@firejutsu4]

Best Entrance in Pro Wrestling Hands Down ‼️🔥🔥🔥

[@wyatt6jr]

I thought the fiend entrance was better or the undertaker 🤣

[@firejutsu4]

@@wyatt6jr nah is/was better than both

[@ankitkoirala7668]

lots of love to see black entrance ❤️❤️

[@Albertmupila]

This song is amazing 🔥🔥🔥 I love AEW for saving professional wrestling. I can't wait for it to go mainstream

[@SwagMaster824]

It’s pretty mainstream

[@markanthonycanales2575]

Bro had so much potential in his debut like omg bro, but then they wasted him so fast like damm

[@ChristusVult]

FRFR, bro easily could’ve been AEW Champ.

[@hagridsdisappointingson769]

For anyone wondering, that mask is modeled after a Wendigo which is a cursed creature from Native American mythology. It's a former human that's punished for canibalism (or sometimes for other crimes based on selfishness) and slowly turns into a monster with an insatiable appetite for human flesh.

[@TommyC-man]

If I remember correctly there were more ways to become Wendigo

[@zyncarla]

Episode 1 of supernatural explains it pretty well

[@punisher3653]

@@zyncarla I believe it's episode 2.

[@hagridsdisappointingson769]

@@TommyC-man You're right, being bit/partially eaten by a wendigo also became a way to turn into one at some point in history. Much like with other mythological creatures over time the legend changed and was adopted by other groups which in turn adapted it to fit their own narratives. The same can be said for it's appearance. In Native mythology it was described as a giant malnourished humanoid with a heart of ice. The deer + skeleton mix was a depiction that became popular in the early 20th century and has been the go to look in pop culture ever since.

Theres also very strong Nordic imagery in that head piece. It's cool looking and encourages fans to speculate. Almost like the man has a strong mind for this pro wrasslin stuff!

[@EricVellekoop]

YES! The band Amenra getting some well deserved recognition with their song Ogentroost!

[@BattleRAAD]

I still love Malakai (and the house of) Black, but MAN, I miss this song, it was unbeatably badass. 🔥

[@usmzn]

A future AEW World Champion for sure!

[@HeSoKlutch_84]

Cody doing what REAL owners should do. PUT OVER THE GREATS. Cody had nothing to lose and everything to gain by putting Black over. Well played AEW.

[@dysomniah8854]

Literally this Gimmick is by far my fucking favorite . The darkness in his character is the reason why I loved watching this dude wrestle .

[@holycrab6316]

Came back after House of black won the trios. But gawd do I miss this. The music, the entrance. Imagine a single match between Malakai and Kenny Omega or a feud with MJF. My current favourite wrestler

[@JaimeD.]

Malakai Black's entrance was like the arrival of a dark creature ready to destroy the very existence of the light and it's protector, Cody Rhodes.

[@professionalidiot5529]

If Kane was the devil's favorite demon and Finn Balor was the Demon King what type of entity is Malakai

[@madhavvinod6500]

One of the most intimidating presence in Pro Wrestling no cap that man is one dangerous guy💯🖤🔥

[@not_ian5543]

I love the way he uses the lights off to move into the ring. Really fun visual

[@Liquidsunn87]

House of Black has arrived. Future AEW champion.

[@SuperMarc281]

What an entrance! HOUSE OF BLACK. Brilliant slogan. Can’t wait to you guys come to the UK.
