Fightful Select published the following report on Malakai on January 16:
He's not going back to AEW. He's finished up with the company and was effectively written off with Will Ospreay's promo. He'd indicated to friends he wanted to head back to WWE in recent years.
Buddy Matthews and Brody King have remained on AEW television, working as a tag team called The Hounds of Hell. They have been joined by Julia Hart. References to Malakai's departure have been made by Will Ospreay and Cope on TV.
Fightful will provide more details on Malakai's status when they are known.
