Malakai Black faced Brian Pillman Jr. on the most recent episode of AEW Dynamite in a grudge match following Black's attack on Julia Hart and Griff Garrison. Jim Cornette shared his thoughts on the match
Jim Cornette gave his opinion about the match on his podcast, the Jim Cornette Experience. Though it was more competitive than the squash match Black had against Garrison last week, the match went by quickly and without much payoff. For this reason, the former WWE manager took issue with the booking of the bout:
"They could’ve done something with Brian off the Dark Side of the Ring show." said Cornette. "After the first spot it was better than the match with Griff Garrison and Malakai Black (...) I’m thinking ‘Okay, he comes out serious, he’s trying to apply himself (...) and after less than a minute from the opening bell they go to the break."
Black's match with Pillman Jr. If the bout got more time, it could have told a more engaging story. Based on the decisive outcome, it seems like this feud might be over already.
Will Malakai Black reveal the next member of the House of Black during the next episode of AEW Dynamite?
Malakai Black has been teasing fans with an addition to the House of Black for weeks. These clear hints led fans to believe that he'd reveal his new stablemate last week, but fans are still waiting to see Black will unveil the identity of his ally.
The leader of the House of Black will likely reveal his new faction sooner rather than later. The team will hope they can have a successful run on AEW amongst all the other factions. When the group officially forms, it's fair to assume that the stable will thrive because it will have a strong leader in Black.
