[Watch] Malakai Black training with his wife Zelina Vega amid his AEW absence

Malakai Black is currently off AEW programming, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's off-wrestling. Black has been married to WWE professional wrestler Zelina Vega since 2018 and lives in Tampa, Florida.

Vega, who has faced Rhea Ripley for a shot at the WWE Women's Championship, posted a video of her and Malakai training intensely in the wrestling ring. The husband-wife duo put each other through several wrestling moves that are a mix of technical and high-flying ones and a few counter-attacks as well.

"I have the best on my side. My time is coming. #BelieveIt @WWE" - Vega posted.

Zelina Vega has had a spectacular run in the Indies as well as in WWE. She is popular for her Queen Vega run, which was for around one year, from 2021 to 2022. She, along with Carmella, formed a tag team that won the Women's Tag Team Championship in '21. In WWE, she is part of the Legado Del Fantasma stable.
