He then discussed their past and revealed that he wanted them to be in a group together before telling Brody King that now was his time to take the reins and run.

"We've been through a lot, but I hope you know that at the end of all of it, I respect you. I respect you [Julia]. I respect Buddy. I think you have the world of potential at your feet. I know what you bring to the table. Man, I felt it. I wanted us to be a group. But tell you what, it's time for you to take the reins and run."

It is believed that Malakai Black, the leader of the House of Black stable with King, Hart, and Matthews by his side, has finished up with AEW. Fans can read Julia Hart's thoughts on her future without Malakai in AEW at this link.
